Non-electric grass pitch
Liked: Great campsite. Friendly owners who went out of their way to help us out with borrowing a windblocker. Loved the pitch we had with some privacy from wild plants / flowers. Loved the fascilities, warm showers, washing up area, clean toilets and even a fridge freezer to store food. One of the best campy sites I’ve used.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked: Host Srah was very friendly and helpful. Pitch size was large, level and well spaced away from other pitches. Fully serviced pitch.
Disliked: Only 2 showers between a large amount of pitches. Not an issue when we needed to use them though. Shower tray was small and slippery with no grab rails and nowhere clean to step out onto. Toilets had only cold water to wash hands and no dryers or paper towels.

Disliked: Mens toilets could do with an upgrade could also do with a electric barrier instead of a gate with a padlock and also some lighting around the park and better water drainage system thought it was alittle overpriced
