Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Overall , level pitches made it easy to set up ,spotlessly clean
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The pitch was ample big enough for caravan awning and 2 cars with space to spare for chairs and tables plenty to keep the kids entertained . Friendly campers and staff, on site shop reasonably priced selling a wide range of items swimming pool, bar and club . And much more .
Disliked Only down side for us was the closest shower block had a problem with the hot water so the showers were only serviced with cold water

Friendly staff, facilities cleaned regularly, good sized pitches.
Powered grass campsite (large, no pets)
Liked Facilities, pitch size and pool.
Disliked Noisey neighbours playing loud music and just being loud into the wee hours for two nights, yet on our third and last night we were asked to turn our music down (that was not that loud tbf) at around 10pm! Wasps nest in park area that we were pitched close to, so inundated with the little blighters.

Excellent site, clean facilities. Staff and wardens were friendly
FHU grass and gravel campsite (super)
Liked This site had everything someone needs! Site staff/wardens were never too far away and always willing to help. Always had a smile on their face, and very professional and polite. Our fully serviced hard standing pitch was level, had to little bit of levelling of the caravan but no trouble! Well kept site, clean and tidy.

lots of things for kids to…
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked lots of things for kids to do
Disliked was barely grass, there was rock under ground so pegs were bending and was just dust and dead grass on top. pitches very close together. our pitch was incredibly uneven with lots of large holes in. lots of unsupervised children all over the site so lots of problems with bullying/poor behaviour and fires in bins.

Liked Facilities and family entertainment

A large family friendly site with entertainment but needs investment.
Primitive grass campsite (no pets, small)
Liked Great to come back with grandchildren after 30 years! Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the manager of JAKKS and the swimming pool. Good communication and organisation and very family friendly. We enjoyed being on the TOP field out of the way and using our bikes to get around. Kids loved the facilities
Disliked It was very very busy and the fields were all occupied as it was good weather in August! The toilets and showers at the top field were just like festival toilets and struggled to cope with the amount of campers. Some people were up until early hours making noise. Perhaps more showers and toilets needed and investments in the cleanliness. Lots of litter - I picked from our field. The 4pm pool slot was too busy but we had it to ourselves at 10am! Could be cleaner but heavily populated.

Ok site with good facilities, but the ground was extremely hard
Powered grass campsite (large)
Liked The pool, park and roilet facilities on site, the wardens were always polite and helpful, and it was lovely to have the few animals on site also.
Disliked The ground under the grass was extremely hard, was told to use rock pegs, which we did and they bent, and we struggled to pitch up when we arrived. We had a rain storm which caused the rain to pool in our tent porch because the ground was uneven and it couldn't soak into the ground, we have medical equipment with us so we cannot have water in the tent, other unused pitches didnt have the pools of water resting on the ground. The showers have no where to put dry clothes, everything gets soaked, and the male showers were often cold. The tumble dryer is a pound for 10 minutes which I think is a little expensive, was told to leave closed until clothes were dry, but after 10 mins there was no heat although it continued to tumble at a very slow rate.

Well serviced but random site….
FHU grass and gravel campsite (super)
Liked Really great service from staff and the site is well patrolled / kept clean etc. Good parks for the kids as there are two on each end.
Disliked Very large site and there is a lot of permanent residents that make lots of areas shanty town looking and derelict. The site seems to be a bit mish mash in terms of its set up and what it’s aiming for. Lots of E Bikes zooming around too…We personally wouldn’t stay again and have two young kids.
