Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)
Liked Lovely clean and friendly campsite with amazing views. Staff was polite and alot of the campers were regulars so obviously returning for a reason. Great cheap stay.
Disliked I parked on abit of a slope but was partly my fault as you can set up anywhere.

Not well suited if you want to relax
Roof tent non-electric grass pitch
Liked Not a lot, the view was good. Toilets and showers were reasonable.
Disliked Not enough washing up facilities for the amount of people on site, too crammed and busy, lots of noise fairly late at night, generally quite rough and a real strong bad smell of pig shit. Was advertised as bing flat but was very much on a hill and we struggled to get a flat spot to pitch our roof tent.

We had a wonderful time at Treaxle Valley, thank you.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome by the staff who provided us with a fabulous detailed list of directions to specific destinations which was invaluable.
The campsite was idyllic, set in a beautiful location hugged by the surrounding hills. It was challenging to find a flat area to pitch. However, with levelling wedges firmly in place, our second night was much more comfortable.
There were lots of young families and facilities for the children to play. The toilets were highly clean, well resourced with toilet roll and soap, and offered free showers with an abundance of hot water. They were lush.
Overall, it was a great campsite. Some younger families enjoyed staying up until the early hours drinking socialising, and laughing. So it wasn't the quietest camping experience however, once they left, the whole experience transformed into a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and our four spaniels were so calm, quiet and well behaved on their fist camping trip, we shall take them again.
Disliked It was challenging to find a spot level to pitch on. We bought levelling car wedges to help level our VW so we didn't slip down the bed during the night.
