Billy Jeans Campsite

Ik was blij met: The views

Ik was niet zo blij met: Limited facilities, overgrown grass, no rubbish bins

Van de manager: Thank you for the review. I'm pleased you like the views. It is a 'basic' campsite so there are no facilities except the necessary toilets. It is advertised as such. Apologies for the overgrown grass, more time will be dedicated to grass maintenance in the future, as has been done previous years. There are no bins on site to reduce wasps, flies and vermin. Your rubbish is collected twice a day and taken to the designated skip away from the campsite.

Ik was blij met: Very friendly staff

Ik was blij met: Perfect for a night away camping with family, quiet site with a lovely big field for children to run around in. We had a great time making up games and fun runs, taking life back to basics.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Fire pit hire/logs quite expensive compared to other sites we've stayed at.

Van de manager: Thank you for your review. To be honest, we done make very much money from the fire pits and logs. They are all to buy in in the first place and more of a service than anything. Other site perhaps sell wood which is free to them.

Ik was blij met: As usual loved the location, owners were lovely and enjoyed the fire pit!

Ik was niet zo blij met: Did not enjoy my daughter getting chased in the pitch black on her way back from the toilet by a labrador (the owner told me this campsite has a dogs on a lead policy) to the point she was inconsolable Did not enjoy the owner of the dog swearing at me infront of my children and making them cry by shouting at me Did not enjoy the same people telling me to leave the campsite as I was not welcome to be there (infront of my children) at 11pm at night. You can imagine how scared they were after hearing that shouted at their parent in the middle of the night so I also did not enjoy packing a 4 man tent up in the dark on my own and driving my kids home in the middle of the night. This is my second time at this campsite and the experience was vastly different from the first. I would like to reiterate this was not a problem with the campsite however the couple who shouted at me did mention they come every weekend so I would not recommend this campsite for children. But by all means, bring your dogs! As I was very rudely told by the owner of the dog don't bring your kids to this campsite.

Van de manager: Oh dear. In any circumstance such as this, you need to ring me there and then, even in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, there is little I can do about it afterwards. Just because a camper says they come every week, doesn't mean the do. Dog are allowed, but must be on leads at ALL time. This will be very strictly monitored throughout the 2023 season.

Ik was blij met: Gorgeous view and good spot on the hill under the trees. Owner was very nice and even found us a deck of cards. Clean water tap in field.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Toilets were 3 porta cabins which was fine but they weren't overly clean (dirty toilet paper on floor). No sinks, just the tap on the field meaning you had to brush teeth in middle of campsite.

Van de manager: Thank you for your review. The porta loos are usually checked and cleaned twice a day. This coming season, 2023, I'll ensure they are checked more frequently. I'd be devastated if one was found to have no loo roll for example. I'm always pleased to see tooth brushing at the tap - better than not at all.

Ik was blij met: Spacious clean facilities

Ik was niet zo blij met: flies

Van de manager: Thank you for the review. And if only I could control the flies...... ....and the wasps, sun, rain, noisy children (admittedly tolerable if they're happy), husbands (admittedly tolerable if they're obedient).

Ik was blij met: Everything, location was great. Wonderful to wake up hearing the horses and sheep. Chris was absolutely lovely and was happy to help with anything. We rented a firepit in the evening and it was fantastic!

Ik was niet zo blij met: Not applicable to this stay

Ik was blij met: It was quiet

Ik was niet zo blij met: The road leading up to it is in bad condition

Van de manager: Thank you for the review. The farm road maintenance is like the 'Forth Bridge', a lot of money, time and effort goes into it every year and as soon as pot holes are fixed at one end, more appear at the other end. I will do my best to keep it flatter this season.
