Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: With widely open space for kids to play. Enough distance between pitch and friendly staffs to assist. Reasonable admission fee. Movable toilet is good, can't complain.
Disliked: Little bit far away and less number of water tap, preferable more. Driveway too muddy for vehicles crossing the entrance, easier to get stuck.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: The general location is good not too far out. The toilets are generally quite clean and there’s enough space for everyone to camp.
Disliked: It was completely circumstantial, however when and where we camped overnight the ground became entirely waterlogged and it took over our gazebo. When we woke in the morning it was like stepping straight into a puddle and as the gazebo fell down one of the poles had snapped breaking it. The area near the wayer pump turned into a complete bog overnight and we were all soaked.

Cheap getaway for those on a budget, and very pleasant for all.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Very nice little site, tucked away from most of the hustle and bustle. Short walk to the Lion and Lamb pub, and another pub a 5 minute drive the opposite way. Great to go and chill out with a few friends, and everything is excellently priced, including the braziers and firewood - I’ve highly recommended the place to others I know
Disliked: Site was flooded upon arrival and rained all night - but not your fault, can’t help the rain!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Not too far off the trail, easy enough to find and plenty of space
Disliked: I would've like there to be at least a few picnic benches, I stayed on similar grounds (e.g. farm paddocks) and had benches to eat and cook on.
