Military Pod Camping

Me gustó Location

No me gustó Pod wasn't ready, the owner was more interested in putting up a marquee which was right in front of our accommodation & we weren't able to park our vehicle next to us.
We were asked to wait for him to clean the pod by which time we'd had enough & we left.

Me gustó The site was clean well maintained-

Ian was lovely very welcoming chatty and showed us round when we arrived, reached out via text prior to arrival which we liked.

The site has a portaloo toilet and shower,both were really clean. Shower was powerful and hot!

Can’t say I’ve been in a portaloo shower before, but it definitely wasn’t a bad experience!

This site wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea but for £16 a night we thought it was fantastic!

Me gustó We loved the quirkiness of being in a spacious open field on our own space with army vehicles surrounding us. Staff were very helpful attentive, friendly and available for our questions and any support we needed. The army truck pod had all the basic cooking requirements. Had our own porta loo and nice hot shower.

No me gustó It is a very basic accommodation, luckily we had brought a mattress topper which helped ease the comfort as this could have been a less comfy experience. As we had fantastic weather a fridge would have been a bonus.

Me gustó Liked everything about this site. Firstly ease of communication, Ian answered the phone straight away when I called. Super friendly and so helpful. Even showed me and my son around the museum on what probably should of been his day off ! (Sunday)
This site has everything you need at an incredibly reasonable price. Sad to read the negative review below. Someone clearly didn't see the point and the work / passion involved in keeping the history of this place alive so we can all learn about it. Plus these people are volunteers !!! Location is great for exploring all around the lizard area. Highly recommend staying here. Shower and toilet spotlessly clean. Shower was lovely and hot. We loved it. Thank you Ian we appreciated your time !

Del administrador: Thanks for your lovely review, I'm always pleased to hear that guests enjoyed their stay.

Me gustó Super well maintained campsite. Ian does a great job keeping the place clean and tidy. Super interesting location with lots of history. This campsite is great for anyone looking to explore the lizard and I highly recommend this campsite if you are interested in local military history. Ian is a wealth of knowledge and you can tell he is very passionate about his site. Thank you Ian for another great stay.

Me gustó The pod has everything you need for a glamping adventure including a lovely warm shower and your own private toilet.

Ian was so helpful and gave us a behind the scenes tour of the museum when we arrived.

We loved how quiet the area was, there was other campers on site but we were tucked away and wouldn’t have even known they were there

Me gustó Excellent back to basics site, perfect for no frills camping. Toilets were spotless and the shower was warm.

Me gustó Great place to stay! Ian the owner was lovely and had a very fast response and turned up within a few minutes to show us about etc!
we loved all the old military equipment and was lucky enough to stay over a weekend when Ian had an open weekend for his museum there, he even fired some of the old rifles and cannons with blanks which was amazing to see and hear and had a little catering trailer open there for you to buy refreshments etc during the museum opening weekend
the site is in a great location and level ground and well looked after, also very remote and quiet, we have an autistic toddler who is often a bit wild and loud etc, we had no problems here at all in the 17 nights we stayed in the end, nice clean toilet and a hot shower to and fresh drinking water from a tap.

And I certainly wouldn’t let the odd negative review put you off!!

You need to read all the information Ian has provided before booking, as if for his amazing price he charges per night, you expect a clubhouse/bar and all day children’s entertainment and evening entertainment and big children’s play areas etc like the big very exspensive corporate sites, then that’s the only reason I could see anyone be disappointed.

We will certainly be going back in the near future when kids school holidays again as a perfect site for us and very happy with our stay!

No me gustó That we had to leave and couldn’t live there permanently in a static caravan as such a lovely site

Me gustó The army memorabilia was unique and took us 2 minutes to look at.

No me gustó This place confused us. You can't call it a campsite. We didn't stay here. It's a tiny field/green pop-up with a porta loo and a shower in a portaloo that looked like a hazard. More than 3 campers and its going to feel crowded. No one about to tell us where to go or if we were even in the right place. We cut our losses and went to an actual site.

Del administrador: I'm sorry you were disappointed and I missed you on site, I did send you a welcome message with directions when you booked, I'm on site at least 3 times a day and am always available by phone, the toilet and shower are cleaned at least once a day and the shower cubicle although plastic is 3 years old and not a portaloo as you stated.
we are a small site with only one toilet and shower and really don't understand your crowded comment as there was less than 3 pitches occupied while you were there.
I hope you found another site that was more to your liking but expect you payed far more than the £16/night that we charge.
What we offer at our site is clearly stated in our description and photos, many of which were posted by guests.
