Woodland Park non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: The area and views
Disliked: Says in the description - minimal facilities,but you'll have access to two unisex toilet/shower blocks. However one of them was locked and the other one didn't have any water so couldn't be used anyway. No, it wasn't cold outside. Also no water at the dish washing facilities at the rear. Site was pitch black, which is not the end of the world but could have mentioned this somewhere in the description. Overpriced for what there is to offer

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, however I would like to say that, As per the terms and conditions on Pitch Up, it clearly states that in winter there are no facilities. This is due to issues with freezing pipes, being an off grid non electric site. As soon as it gets to minus temperatures, the water has to be turned off and the pipes drained to prevent burst pipes. Unfortunately, we cannot just keep turning on the water and re draining it, as and when it freezes as this is not practical. The site is non electric, (again clearly stated on pitch up) therefore there are no external lights and we recommend all visitors bring torches, which again is stated on Pitch Up.

Woodland Park non-electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Nice area.
Disliked: The park was not private, anyone could drive through it since the gate was not closed. It felt like we had stopped on a lay-by. There was no water in the toilets, and the reception area was empty. I did not know where to find someone if we needed assistance. My husband took the dogs for a walk, and the owner's dogs ran up to ours and began nipping at them, which was unacceptable—especially since there were signs everywhere stating that all dogs must be on a lead.
I was very unhappy with our stay, it was expensive, especially considering there was no electricity, water, or functioning toilets. I do not recommend this place.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I’m sorry that you were unhappy with your stay, however it clearly states in the terms and conditions on Pitchup that during the winter they may be no facilities due to freezing water pipes. Unfortunately we are an off grid, non electric site which is also clearly stated on Pitchup.
I have contacted Pitchup and asked for a notice to be displayed more prominently to make sure customers see this information during the winter months. I will pass on your comments about the dog, to the owner.
