Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Everything! Couldn’t fault it. Hot showers, lots of toilets, cleaned all the time, very tidy site with the large bins. Taps and sinks all around the toiletries areas, washing up stations, plenty of hand soap, mirrors, lit up at night too! There is a large freezer available for use (shared), handy for storage. Always had toilet paper!! Plenty of space in the field, the owner comes round in the evening, once you’ve checked in via text to have a chat. Dog friendly, quite flat ground. Great area to drive 10-30 minutes away from various local attractions. Would really recommend for a great ‘inland’ campsite. Was absolutely perfect for me and my boyfriend. Toilets are unisex but honestly was not a problem at all. Plenty of toilets and 5 showers, never saw a queue for showers. Friendly, and family oriented, quiet time is after 9pm but it was very chilled the entire time. Local petrol station and farm shop 30 second drive away. Very well looked after, one of the best campsites I’ve been to for a very good price. Will be returning again!! Thank you :D
Disliked: I wish they had availability outside of August bank holiday weekend! Service comes and goes on my phone (with Tesco mobile), my boyfriend is with EE and had more luck. Better service on the other side of the field closer to the entrance/ middle, we were on the far side, but that’s first world problems for us youngsters!!
