Power optional cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Fantastic little site for motorhomes, campervans or caravans. No toilet or shower but not needed when you have your own! Clean and quiet with lovely views. Bins and chemical waste point available. Pitch sizes excellent each with electric hook up and water tap. Also provided a picnic bench with each pitch. Lovely owner Hollie made contact to let us know if we needed anything we just had to let her know.Will definitely be returning and would definitely recommend. Well worth the £10 to camp plus £5 for electric hook up. Fast wifi a nice touch. Well done Hollie and family, you've smashed it 👏
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: From the moment of arriving everything was excellent. Yes it’s a new venture for Holly but so friendly and helpful. Even telling about the northern lights and sending me photo.
Yes it’s extras but it’s in their plans….Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Great walks to Hepworth thru the lanes…coffee morning thurs in the hall.
Bury close by. So worth visiting please try it you won’t be disappointed
Disliked: Coming home!

Liked: Nice quiet site. Lovely pond and a picnic table supplied for every pitch. Little playground for kiddies and on a quiet lane. Will be beautiful in summer. Unfortunately for us the weather was bad so ground was very wet but couldn't be helped. Owner very nice and helpful.
Disliked: Grass area very lumpy could do with flattening.

Liked: Nice big gravel spaces
Beautiful senary,
Quiet
Fantastic customer service!
Great price
Only a few spaces so not too crowded
Has a play area for little ones
We Will come back!
Supermarkets not to far drive,
Close by Banham Zoo, which we went to - would recommend
Disliked: Not disliked...... but could possibly improve?
We went in winter
(February) it rained! and getting to the bin area and the water tap was very muddy as all grass area,
If there were slabs or gravel it would make it easier and not so slippy,
Obviously can't help the weather
Wifi not brilliant at times (could of been the weather as had heavy wind and rain.
Only suggestions, we had an amazing few days stay!
Thank you :)

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you soo much for the lovely review.
We look forward to welcoming you back.
Today we had some grids and stone delivered which we are going to install in the next couple of days. Focused around the bins / elsan point. The weather has unfortunately made it abit muddy where it's a high traffic area. Fingers crossed the rain goes and the sun comes out soon!
The wifi does sometimes dip when the weather isnt great. Sorry!
Thank you again!
