Great camping, with relaxed vibe... generally used for families and fishermen as there is a fishing lake
Great evening venue, with various entertainment, including a comedy night once a month... THE BARNYARD COMEDY CLUB
Well, what can I say, I try not to be negative in reviews but can’t help myself. The basic ingredients are there… friendly staff, efficient and accommodating, level pitches, EHU, drinking water, activities field, dog walking field, fishing lake, cafe up the road (some days) pub a 20 minute safe walk away lovely. BUT…..
So many rules! Signs everywhere, don’t do this, must do that. If you walk your dog on the field you must go the right way around, visitors must pay to get in (really!). Felt like I was in a correctional facility at times.
AND THEN…
The toilet block… The facility is cheaply constructed and maintained in a rather dark and out of the way old brick out building. Such a disappointment for a medium sized £35 a night site. Clean thankfully (hopefully), but paint missing from doors and slipshod wall coverings while one urinal tray, 2 showers and 2 toilets for all the men on the site is woefully inadequate… not even a toilet brush in one of the cubicles (are we supposed to share?) so you can imagine the rest.
There is an Elsan point but it’s about as far away from the majority of pitches as possible and not accessible by a motorhome, and nowhere advertised on the leaflet handed out to show where grey water can be disposed.
Ramshackle is not an unfair description of the whole site. Dilapidated outbuildings, piles of pallets and various bits of machinery lying around with an adjacent compound full of weeds and algae covered caravans. It’s the cost that makes me so negative. For £35 a night my expectations were much higher. There’s one last thing, another rule, use more than 10kw of electric a day and you get billed at an undisclosed rate, but quite how that will be measured baffles me. I will not be back.
Brilliant camp site with good facilities, we attended a Pagan celebration for the weekend as the campsite is large enough for big events. The pitches are flat and well spread out with plenty of EHU points as well as grass off grid pitches.
