Alfreton, Derbyshire, England
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The weather, the food vans in the evening
Disliked The main negatives for us were the somewhat over-officious approach of some of the staff and the unpleasant smell from the chemical toilet disposal area.
In particular, a member of staff came to our pitch at 10.01pm and told us to be quiet and to “have some respect for the other campers” because we were apparently making too much noise beyond the curfew. This felt unnecessarily confrontational, particularly as the music curfew was 10.00pm but the campsite’s quiet curfew was not until 11.00pm. We felt the situation could have been handled in a much friendlier and more proportionate way.
There was also a noticeable and unpleasant smell coming from the chemical toilet disposal facilities, which affected the surrounding area.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us, we welcome all feedback. We are sorry to see that you will not be staying with us again. when we spoke to you regarding the excessive noise, we were responding to many complaints from fellow campers who had experienced excessive noise through the evening from yourselves and up to 10.00pm. Our quiet time starts at 10pm and we do allow quiet chatter that does not impact on others until 11pm. We spoke to you at just turned 10pm as other campers may have got involved and we wanted to prevent this situation occurring. We are sorry if when we spoke to you, you found this offensive. Thank you for your feedback and we wish you well in your future travels.
