Kings Forest Caravan Park

A aimé : The staff were friendly and accommodating and the site was very well maintained and facilitated. The showers were spacious with a good drying and dressing section within, hot water with good pressure and timer. The WC's were very clean and as away from hand basins had sanitiser within the cubicle, extractor fans and very nice air freshener kept up the standards. The freezer box was a Godsend as the temps were high so we could refreeze our ice packs and get some beers cold too! I could not fault any of the facilities at Kings Forest. Hot ash bins, mixed waste bins as council separated at plant, spacious plots, waste water etc. all in all spot on. Nearby easy access to cool pine forest gave a beautiful walking place and the Anglo-Saxon village was a stones throw away too, most recommended on a weekday when a lot quieter.

N'a pas aimé: Apart from all the great things we loved about Kings Forest and its surroundings there were issues that prevented it being perfect. The camping grounds are open and without mature trees to offer any shade... as it was roasting during our stay that made life very uncomfortable in a tent with no escaping the Sun in a North/South facing field. Our tarp set up to attempt shelter from the Sun was difficult to establish any shade with and the wind was an additional issue to overcome also. I would recommend choosing an electric pitch, whether required or not, as this will bring you a lot nearer the facilities, the non-electric field is quite away from these, though it had a chemical toilet in the middle of the field I wouldn't have wanted to use it. There is noticeable audible activity from 6AM onwards from work beginning on the 'farm' as there are stables etc and horse boxes and general works to the site and facilities... more noticeable though was everyday activity from a group of permanent stay residents who were going about their daily business going off to and returning from work and so forth... being awoken at 6AM by 'normal' activity takes away the holiday vibe for me. To avoid this stay away from field number 2 and do a reccy before you settle in. If you run out of anything there isn't a local shop nearby, 15 mins in either direction take you to a services area or Tesco. There isnt a nearby village and therefore no pub to walk to, but we knew that.

Réponse du gestionnaire : HI Stephen, Thank you for your lovely review about your stay with us. I just wanted the opportunity to explain the early morning activity from 6am onwards. This particular morning that disturbed you was due to a rare occurrence in that we had a visiting UAE horse trainer from Newmarket using the Forest for training. There were a couple of lorries and machines to service their setting up requirements but as you are aware within the hour the normal quietness of Wideham resumed. This might happen maybe 2 or 3 times a year. The two temporary residents that also had to leave early that morning no longer keep their vans on the site this will not disturb you or any other guests in the future. You were right to point out that we don't have the luxury of any nearby shops but the Guiness Arms pub is a lovely 2 mile walk across country or a two minute drive away, I am sorry that you were not made aware of its closeness. I hope that your experience will not put you off from future visits, we would love to welcome you back for another stay.

A aimé : Kings Forest is a very efficiently run, well organised, friendly campsite with beautifully clean large showers and loos. We stayed in a pod, which was perfect for us as it saved us putting up our tent for an overnight stay to attend a concert in Thetford forest. The campsite has access to the forest for some lovely walks. All the pitches are flat and very well maintained. Excellent value for money.
