Liked: Good level gravel pitch. Our pitch was close to the female toilets & showers. It has wonderful trees & a tidy site. The staff were friendly ,happy & informative. Its great to see the show ground been put to good use & only a short walk into the town. Which is a nice walk by the river Severn .
Disliked: Not a dislike the gents toilets are agricultural in feel but clean & checked by the staff.

Powered grass campsite
Liked: Lovely spot peaceful and not a long walk into the town. Atmosphere is friendly and overall a nice stay. Near the river and a few nice pubs around not far from the site. No issues with noise or rowdy groups.
Disliked: However... Facilities not that good this year we have stayed a several times over the past few years. The old toilet block has all the showers boarded up not sure why ? Which leaves 4 new showers for the whole site .. the bottom field bathrooms not lit at night which I discovered after walking all the way down there. The kitchen area which previously had a fridge/hot water for drinks and a washing up area was all closed off I did ask about this and was told it was only open in high season so a bit disappointing.
