喜欢: The shop on site

不喜欢: We’ve been coming to this campsite for many years and have always enjoyed our stays. One of the things we’ve loved most is being able to pitch our tent in the top field, which offers a more peaceful and scenic experience. However, during our most recent visit, we were very disappointed to find that the top field was closed off without any prior notice or explanation.

The gate to the top field was shut when we arrived on Wednesday, and for the first time ever, we were not given the option to camp there. This left us with very limited choices, as all the remaining available spaces were either electric hook-up pitches or designated for caravans and motorhomes — not suitable or ideal for tent campers like us.

It felt like tent campers were not being considered this time around, which was frustrating given our long-standing support for the site. We understand that sometimes maintenance or operational issues may arise, but clearer communication and at least some effort to accommodate regular guests would have gone a long way.

We hope this was a one-off issue and that the top field will be accessible again in the future. Unfortunately, this experience did leave us quite disappointed and reconsidering whether to return

喜欢: Excellent location, lovely site with fantastic facilities. Toilet and shower block were heated and clean, staff were helpful, everything was very easy. Onsite shop sells pretty much everything you could need (fresh/frozen food, ice, camping essentials, right through to kids toys and games).

不喜欢: The only downside was that the ground (and apparently this is the case for most of the site) was rock hard. Our tent pegs didn't go more than an inch or so into the ground. I spoke to the staff, they explained it's like that everywhere on site, but then helpfully pointed me in the direction of the onsite shop, which sells rock pegs. I bought a bunch of them, and was completely fine.

喜欢: We came midweek in early May. It was lovely and quiet.

The ladies on check in were kind, fun and knowledgeable.

The toilet/shower blocks were clean. The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced.

We saw someone using the dog wash - that looked amazing!

Not sure what else to say, it was all good.

不喜欢: Nothing to dislike.

喜欢: Great open space, meant kids could ride their bikes safely. Lovely new play area. Great shop and cafe. Avon beach is 14mins away. Lovely beach with cafe or restaurant. Nice and quiet.

不喜欢: Showers were quite hot. My 7yr old couldn't tolerate it, but the baby changing room has a temperature controlled shower so all was well in the end.

喜欢: The children enjoyed the playground. Some staff were exceptionally- Janet im looking at you!

不喜欢: Disappointing visits all in all, it's mainly tarmac compared to the pictures on the website and idea that your '360' in nature is deceptive.

Maybe the clue was in the WW2 old air landing strip description, but I expected more actual forest. The space was crowded, and the toilets were quite dirty.

Also, we had hoped to be close to the ponies, but no joy with that either. The field next to the site had ponies.

Where to park was quite random, park anywhere as long as you're 6 feet away from another person. It felt quite busy, maybe better to camp off season.

Interactions with staff were varied. One was lovely, her name was Jannet, so helpful and hospitable. The other was quite abrupt, ill informed, and a little rude.

There are better campsite to be closer to ponies.
