Liked: One of a kind campsite. Children were over the moon seeing lots of planes land and take off. The facilities were also adequate, camping was very clean, we had one of the biggest pitches we ever had.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: The location is nearby the Weston beach
Disliked: There is no airplane in the holidays at all The airplane road becomes the tent pitches in a line. Thatâs why the pitches are quite far from the bathroom, toilets and washing areas. Every time we need to take a bath by car â> inconvenient They have disposal toilets in every 10m. But it is not comfortable The 4G/5G is so weak, can not use it I recommend for caravans only
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the review though a bit negative, all the other campers could see what we were up against with the weather with us trying to keep the ground safe to drive and walk on, and helped us in any way they could. We are sad that you did not understand how a campsite works and in particular ours and could be because of a language barrier. It is important to study any information given to you by campsites so that you and your party have a good understanding of the site and its rules. The weather was terrible with driving rain and fog and so planes cannot fly in that weather, and you were camped on the runway! (which we only use on bank holidays for campers, the rest of the year it is a working runway, weather permitting) We don't have baths. You were camped next to a toilet but chose not to use it, bizarre! The celluar network isn't anything to do with us. You incorrectly mention that the site is only fit for caravans, this is incorrect and if you care to look on the websites you will see that your comments are not correct and quite inflammatory and misleading to other readers. Please be factually correct when you review a company.
Big spacious pitches, good locationâŚ

Liked: Big spacious pitches, good location
Disliked: Barely luke warm water in showers and washing up area, playground would do with updating. Not single plane around but on nearly every photo on the ad.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review us, please note seeing planes fly is not guaranteed it depends on many factors including the weather. It does say on the description of our site you MAY also see occasional flight activity. We are not Branscombe international airport just a private grass air strip. Chris and Tracey
