Electric grass pitch
Liked: We liked the relaxed nature of the campsite. Electric hookups and very good shower/toilet block.
Cafe was excellent, we probably won’t bring as much food next time, just eat there instead.
We hired a hot tub for one of our days and we really enjoyed it.
The walk to Galphney is idyllic
The pub there is good with a nice beer garden.
All in all a very good campsite with friendly accommodating people. Good value.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Great pitch. Loads room. Good facilities. Showers warm. Clean toilets. Cafe was just getting finished when we arrived. Staff were very friendly. Fantastic views. Amenities a short 5 min walk to shops & pub.
Disliked: No chair in shower area, I find it difficult to dress standing and nowhere to sit to dry feet. No dirty water disposal

We would go back, it was a nice stay!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Clean site, friendly owners, nice cafe. Pleasant location with pubs etc nearby. Level pitches available, toilet block central to site for walking back and forth.
Disliked: Noisiest kids stopped at about 10.30pm, not as much oversight in terms of noise as some sites.
Local park is a little run down, not the fault of the site but sold by the site as a local amenity.
Local kids had smashed up a vodka bottle for us.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: heya thanks for the feedback, we walk around the site at 10 each evening to ensure there's no music or excessive noise and also do a final toilet block check.
I'm sorry the noise was a little more than you thought during the evening, we welcome any guests to contact us with any concerns over noise if you can't chat to the other guests directly we are happy to intervene.
The village play area is a great asset to the site and the village but sadly people don't have the same values these days. There is a current plan to refurbish the play area but like anything getting local funding is a challenge.
hopefully see you again at ivy bank soon
