Liked It was a really lovely quiet roll location with very friendly hosts.
Disliked The front door was a real challenge to open and close. Therefore for anyone that has accessibility requirements this may be difficult

From the manager: We are so pleased the stay was enjoyed. No one else has had a problem with the front door. Its a big old fashioned wooden door which locks with a key.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Simple, back to basics, no frills free range campsite where you are left alone to do your thing.
Disliked The track from the main road to the campsite is a little "Off Road" style and care should be taken in towing vehicles, low vehicles, family vehicles, and cars that you love and cherish to prevent damage when driving even slowly down the gravel lane.

From the manager: Thank you for your positive review. Thank you also for drawing attention to the bumpy road. It is a bit of a leap of faith, but you are amply rewarded by the beautiful camping field once you arrive. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you found the site simple and that it meets the essential needs. Regarding Sunday opening, our shop is designed to offer a selection of basic items. At this time, we don’t feel it’s necessary to extend opening to Sundays, especially given the wide range of other purchasing options available locally. That said, we always appreciate hearing suggestions and will continue to review our services based on customer feedback. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Camping pod (two person)
Liked What We Loved:
The Pod Experience: The camping pod was fantastic—clean, cozy, and surprisingly warm even for a late January trip. It’s the perfect "middle ground" for those who want the feel of the outdoors without the hassle of a tent.
The Setting: The park itself is peaceful and well-maintained. Being right next to California Country Park is a huge plus; the woodland walks were beautiful this time of year.
Location: Wokingham is just a short drive away, making it easy to grab supplies or a nice dinner.
Disliked A Small Note for Maintenance:
The only minor hiccup we had was that the microwave turntable wasn't working during our stay. We could still use it, but it made heating things up a bit uneven. Just a small bit of feedback for the team to look at before the next guests arrive!
Overall, we had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend these pods for a quiet winter getaway. We’ll be back!

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the pod and found it warm, cozy, and the perfect balance between comfort and the outdoors—especially for a winter stay. It’s also great to know you made the most of the peaceful setting and the woodland walks in California Country Park. Thank you as well for highlighting the issue with the microwave. We’re happy to let you know that it has now been replaced, so everything is working as it should for future guests. We really appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’re thrilled to hear you had a brilliant time and would recommend the pods. We very much look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!
