Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Peaceful, quiet perfect for no noisy talkers or reasonable music.
Field 2 electric grass pitch (XL)
Liked The Good:
Cleanliness & Maintenance:
The campsite was very clean and well maintained. There was a clear cleaning routine in place both in the morning afternoon and night.
Kitchen is equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer at a cost. Fridges. No kettles microwaves or toasters as other reviews said there were.
Friendly Campers:
The other campers we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. Despite our difficult experience, not once did we feel judged or spoken badly about by anyone else on the site.
Peaceful Environment (For Some):
If you’re a family who enjoys early nights, quiet evenings, and low-key camping — this site may be ideal. It’s clearly geared toward a peaceful, laid-back experience where kids can play quietly and adults can chat calmly in deck chairs.
Wifi:
Available but strength weakens after 5-6meters from benches
Bathrooms are nice and very handy as each shower has large space to wash and change in the same cubicle. Hairdryers fitted inside and out in corridor for busy periods.
Location:
Close to town centre and the pier. But right on a busy country road where we heard many racing.
Disliked Strict Noise Rules:
The site manager enforces extremely strict noise rules, both day and night. We were asked to quiet down before 7pm — simply for having music on between ourselves and laughing/talking— and told to extinguish our BBQ with water by 10pm and wouldn't leave us until water was poured over the bbq. Even quiet conversation after that time was not tolerated at 11pm in our own tents as she flashed light inside and said she could hear us and that it needs to stop. We couldnt even talk to one another about the stars as we were gazing at them.
Poor Communication and Attitude from Management:
The manager repeatedly emphasized that she doesn’t usually accept groups of four (despite allowing us), and made us feel like she had done us a favor by letting us book. she was constantly on our tail, even though we are friendly welcoming group who accepts all cultures.
Her approach to communication felt too abrupt and unwelcoming, especially when dealing with concerns or trying to find compromises.
Unclear Website Information:
The website did not make it clear just how strict the rules were, especially around noise levels. Had we known, we might have chosen a different site more suitable for our group dynamic.
The site is called farm holidays, it didn't seem very holiday like more a spiritual retreat.
Unpleasant Facilities Experience:
The bathroom had some hygiene issues, including rusty clothes hangers, dusty extractor fans, and soap residue in shower baskets.
Shower heads are fixed with a metal ring, making it difficult to bathe and reach young children.
The body wash stung my eyes for hours consequently not child-friendly.
Some toilet doors didn’t lock properly, which was inconvenient.
There was visible dust in the air from clogged fans regardless of it being an extractor fan it was still floating down and saw numerous dust balls on floor that had fallen from the fans, leading to sneezing fits during and after showers.
Ground and Safety Hazards:
The field had deep cracks due to dryness, making walking potentially hazardous. Sprinkler management would help yo resolve this.
A loose slab at the entrance to the kitchen area posed a tripping risk, especially for those with mobility issues.
Road Noise:
Field 1 is very close to a loud road. While this isn’t the manager’s fault, it may affect light sleepers or families with small children.
Cut Short Holiday:
Our camping trip, planned for four days, was cut short to two due to the conflict with the site manager with her giving us an ultimatum to keep quiet or find elsewhere (bank holiday nothing would be available at late notice) when going back to say we'll keep it down even more she said she's made the decision to cancel our booking and to leave in the morning. This was especially disappointing for my 3-year-old son, as it was his first holiday and he had been very excited. We had to just drive home and lose our holiday in weston-super-mare. We all was able to carry on in our garden but completely ruined our holiday itself for the kids.

Field 1 electric grass touring pitch (small)
Liked Great location, just out of town but easy to reach the motorway, the beach and shops. Peaceful (in field 1). Very nice shower/ toilet block. Spacious pitches, doesn't feel crowded at all. Free WiFi but only works close to the shower block. Good phone and TV signal.

Peaceful it is not. Don't expect to get much sleep 3 meters from road
Field 2 non-electric grass pitch
Liked Very clean and well maintained
Disliked This site says it's peaceful well it's far from that the pitches are literally 3 meters from a main road with constant traffic throughout the night . Stayed 2 nights didn't get hardly any sleep from the noise of cars passing by. You can even feel the vibration from the heavy vehicles. Everyone from pitch E to J said the same thing., a few of us didn't get any sleep all with families . Never been to any campsite with this issue. Constant noise very disappointed as everything was wonderful. No sleep is not a good camping experience... 3 meters from the main road it's no wonder. The day time has a consistent flow of traffic so you never really have peace just the noise of cars. Pitches are all sectioned so you can't even move . Avoid pitches from E on that side. Unfortunately the owner allocates so it's all a gamble if you don't go for electric hook up. So to describe this site as peaceful is really stretching it. I and 4 other families experience can testify that's not the case.

From the manager: Thank you for your review...
As the owner I would like to provide an explanation of the points made both to the reviewer and anyone else reading this.
We are fully aware that the road into Banwell can be noisey to some, many hundreds of people that have stayed on these pitches, have been very happy and left positive reviews.... a very small minority were unaware of their location or disappointed.
When booking these pitches it does clearly state that these pitches run close to the road (separated by a fence & a thick hedge), there are other non electric pitches on site away from the road however these are more expensive.
The reason the site is described as peaceful is down to the vast majority (71%) of our customers reviewing the site as such....not our words.
I think that saying everyone on pitches E-J (yourselves included) were unhappy whilst you were here is an exaggeration, 3 families have extended there stays into this week and are very happy....noone has come to me and asked to be moved or complained. I do wish you had spoken to me regarding your disappointment, there were options to pay for an upgrade to a pitch away from the road, complaining now does not give me chance to put help.
I urge people reading this, to please read the pitch descriptions before booking and our 98% of positive reviews.

Field 1 electric grass pitch (medium)
Liked Pitches excellently spaced and well divided. Flat pitches, great open space where children could play. Friendly and welcoming owner and staff. Spotless facilities! Fantastic showers!! Great communication before arrival. Free fridge access ( especially in the heat) is a massive advantage and great idea!!
Easy access to local attractions and cities. Close to local supermarkets. Slept very well!! You could even count the sheep in the joining feild if needed. 6 night stay, electric pitch. Wifi hotspot available, but I had already downloaded tv before arrival. Own phone data access available at pitch. Would definitely recommend this site.
Disliked Nothing.

Liked The extremely clean facilities
Toilets and showers constantly being cleaned. The pitches very well maintained. Fridge and freezer use and electric sockets for phone charging.
Disliked Sleeping right next to a very busy loud Road. Some pitches are away from the road and would be fine, but approx 10 are too close to the main road
