What customers say
Owners are a ripper, facilities are spick and span, and it's good value. Campers loved the games room, play area, and roomy sites. Road noise was a minor whinge for some, but no biggie, especially at night. Easy check-in/out and a cracking vibe were big pluses. Great for families or a chill arvo.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great facilities, easy location for driving to other parts of the area
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great facilities: newly opened family bathroom with plenty of space, small kitchen wash-up area was spotless and well stocked, game room had everything required for the games provided. Game room also had children’s books for a good age range. Climbing frame with slide was loved by kids! A nearby rooster liked saying good morning, and the nearby airstrip is interesting!

Lovely site, friendly hosts, chilled vibe.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Small site with a relaxed atmosphere, kids enjoyed the games room, communal areas nice and clean and well stocked with soap, toilet roll, and hand towels.
Kitchen area always had tea and sugar, kettle provided, freezers for ice packs. There is also a couple of nice walks close by. Having no set departure time was a real blessing. Packing up to be off site by midday for example, with three large tents, small children, disabled adult, and inclement weather would have been a struggle.
Disliked As with other reviews the road noise from the A48 is a bit of a nuisance in the early morning. It wasn’t a surprise as we’d read reviews prior to booking so it wasn’t something unexpected and once up and awake you don’t really notice it as much, but if you like nice peaceful mornings then this isn’t for you.
Disabled shower room, although quite new, we found it difficult to keep pressing the push button to operate the shower. The button was really hard to push, and it had to be pushed approximately every 10-15 seconds for water to be supplied to the shower. From an energy/water saving point of view I completely understand having the showers operate this way in the female and male facilities but making it easier to push, and extending the time the water runs would certainly be appreciated by disabled people.

Liked We've spent one night there. Car boot literally on the field next to us. The owner was lovely, showers and toilets cleaned many times during our stay, entertainment for both kids and adults in one of the buildings, kettle available for all as well as freezer and even washing liquid provided. Beautiful area. Will come back:)
