There are non electric grass pitches for tents, each able to take groups of up to eight people.

The premium electric pitches offer a little more space and privacy, perfect for a peaceful stay. Access to the park's attractions are included, so little ones can enjoy days of fun with an animal farm, adventure playgrounds, jumping pillow, a dinosaur trail, mini golf, a splash zone, sand and water play, soft play and even play diggers.

When it's time to eat, there are several cafes and food kiosks onsite serving everything from breakfast rolls and pancakes to pizzas, burgers, jacket potatoes for lunch and sweet treats like ice cream. Dinner isn't provided in the cafe, so if guests fancy heading out, there are a number of pubs, such as The Iron Duke, The Wellington Arms, New Inn and The Elm Tree, all just a five minute drive away!
