What was great?
Only the location

Even better if....
Please note this is now under new management since the start of 2017


Camping For two nights and 7 people it cost £75 which could be ok, however. We were kept waiting at the gate because the people on the gate did not know we had booked and had no details. The owners were quick enough to take the money by phone. We were then questioned why we needed two vehicles, not really a mystery, 6 adults and an 11 year old. We needed a big tent, a lot of food, clothing and all the sundries, this was not going to fit into a 307 Peugeot. We were questioned about our late arrival, 6.30pm considered late from Cheltenham, I do not think so. We had hit a lot of traffic, my car had broken down twice, we did pretty well to get here in 3 1/2 hours when we left Cheltenham at 3. After the trip I had had having got covered in oil and diesle 2 times a smooth booking in would have been welcomed The fields we camp in are in need of mowing, a herd of cows would have got very fat in this grass to put it mildly. There is rubbish littered about the place. The showers are limited as to when you can use them. In the morning the showers are limited opening times, 8.30 until 11 am. The toilets are very primitive. The showers are them limited opening in the evening. The car parks are closed at 6.00pm so it makes life impossible to go out for a meal should you wish to. You are not allowed visitors on site after 6.00pm and it is enforced. We had one member of the party drop out at the last minute due to unfortunate situation and a refund was not going to Be given at all. If the experience is going to be what it is then it should be priced accordingly, in this case a lot lower. If the price is going to be the level it is then it is a very poor facility in terms of value for money. They are really cashing in, this place is on its knees and the number of people here reflects the lack of value for money. Having since looked at other sites who offer the same experience for the same money this place is dying. The other sites are a lot busier without being excessive. There facilities are new and purpose built where this place is dog eared and a little more than just tired. People will not be repeating this experience when they see what other sites have to offer. Why once again do we have to look at how the Europeans do things and then feel like we are a third world country. My advice, be prepared for a disappointing camping site or stay away. Second day one child arrived late and had another car, we had so much trouble with the camp site and will never return. The woman at the desk,suggested we might want to leave now and I said I would not. I only had two nights on the site and I was not going to pack up at 5.00pm and find another site to camp on. Service is something that they really do not understand. I also met another camper on the site who had been suggested he might like to leave as well. She also suggested that having read the internet comments and still coming to the site I am clearly stupid. I personally felt that having been to the site to inspect it a few weeks earlier that the comments were possibly unfair, I felt they were worth a second chance. They really are not worth a first chance yet alone a second. I have stayed on many sites and this one clearly is the worst. Busy summer holidays and I should have seen the space and realised. This place is dying on its feet and it is one site people use once and then they learn. Beware, if you wish to risk it fine, they are not worth a second chance and I would recommend you do not give them a first chance. I have spoken to a couple of other campers, the best remark was that the site was overpriced. This site really should be taken away form it's owners and given to someone that cares. It is a potential jewel, it really does not live up to its website. No loo paper, showers could do with looking like they are out of this century. Not enough showers for the ladies and the timers on the shower heads are too short. You have to pay to get hot water to wash up, there was a pile of litter in the field. One caravan owner had to lift a field gate of its hinges to get his caravan out because the owners would not unlock it. Two families who were not allowed to park there caravans next to one another, for no apparent reason. Half a pint of milk 80p, that was all we were prepared to buy. Minimum effort in by the owners and maximum price charged. I honestly thought that the bad reviews were just the odd disgruntled person. However you pay in advance for a weekend and by the time you have pitched and put everything where it is you really are not prepared to pack everything up and search for another site. When you have to leave at 12.00 you wake, you pack and by the time everything is sorted the showers have closed. So you shower then you pack away and you are all hot and bothered when you leave. It is a sin these people are allowed to own this facility. This is a potential diamond, however in the present owners hands it actually is a lump of coal. What a great waste. They know the bad reports are on here, they know so a any customers are really very unhappy but they make no effort to change. They know they can keep taking enough money from people like us who are prepared to give them a chance. Never ever again, I have told so many of my friends already and will not stop.
