Power optional grass tent site
Liked: Friendly staff, closed gates at night so it was safe (although I only discovered the closed gates in the morning so was not aware that they were going to be closed).
Disliked: There was traffic noise from the M5 and frequent racer cars with adapted exhausts and thumping music on the country lane by the campsite. The ground was prone to waterlogging and water pooled on the surface of the field after a night of rain. It was a very expensive night in view of the location, lack of drinking water and showers. The only facility was the toilet. There were no directions on the website about how to reach the campsite and Google could not provide a route (as it did not recognise the bridge).

Liked: The owners are lovely and so welcoming. Very helpful. There is a pub not too far (nice walk down the canal) and there is a cafe on site. It is a lovely place with animals and you can fish there. Also space for a fire (several fire pits).We will certainly back!
Disliked: Nothing really, they are still developing the camping site and will be great when the showers are installed.

Liked: We booked this site to watch the Severn Bore. Camping is a new venture for the charity running the site which provides fishing opportunities for families, particularly those facing hardship or disability. We were made very welcome, there is a café on site, barbecue area and shelter. The toilets are functional & clean rather than fancy. We will come back with the grandchildren to do the fishing.
