Liked: Nothing at all. I felt I was ripped off. Left a bad taste at the start of my holiday
Disliked: There is nothing to recommend this site at all. The site is un kept. The facilities is bare concrete and dirty with poor lighting. Greeted by a half naked man. Reception is a hovel with old furniture lying outside the door. Greatly over priced. The worst value for a "Camp Site" I have ever experienced. I booked many camps with Pitchup on a recent road trip to Norway and all the other camps was Great and all was cheaper than this camp. I clicked 1 to rate Goldpark only because that is the lowest on your scale it should have been -10

Liked: Absolutely nothing I liked about this place - if you want the traveller / gypsy experience try stopping here
Disliked: Everything that is listed about the things you can't do the residents that live on this site do - dangerous dog breeds raoming free , dog poo all around the site , 80% of the site is inhabited by travellers (gypsies) grass is very long toilets are run down and far end of site looks like a rubbish dump / breakers yard - never worth £30 a night terrible place
