Electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Absolutely beautiful spot by the river . Andy was super helpful and went out of his way to give us loads of information. The views all around are spectacular . A new favourite - will definitely be back x
Disliked: Toilets could be more private if they were a full cubicle and I’d rather not pay extra for a shower . Very small details though . The site is amazing .

Electric hardstanding and grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked: Absolutely loved this place was so peaceful. The guy that runs it was super friendly and would definitely come back. Nice big flat pitch for the tent.
Disliked: Now this might be my terrible memory but you need to ditch the 50p shower. It’s not the case that the shower is 50p as I’d rather pay £2.50 on the booking and maybe get tokens as I don’t carry cash and completely forgot to get change. You have to have 50p only you can’t use anything else. Super annoying.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Small site, toilets and showers facilities were clean. 50p for a shower, but you get 10 mins and they were hot!! The warden was incredibly helpful and let us and a friend pitch beside each other, taking away the rope to split into separate pitches. Not much to do for the kids, but they had fun just being outside
