VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchesApr 2026

The campsite is great. Roomy and didn't feel crowded at all. Communication with management via WhatsApp was great as well, especially for us campervan newbies. In fact, if you are new to campervan or caravan life then I would highly recommend this campsite as it gives you enough room in the pitches to move around and figure stuff out. Also, electrical hook-ups do not come at extra charge at point of use. The place is generally very peaceful other than the main road being pretty close. The facilities are exceptional. The shower/toilet block is clean and thankfully very warm inside. Overall, it's a great place to stay and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay

Motorhome - Non Electric Hardstanding Touring PitchApr 2026

What a little gem this place is. Not sure we want to write a review because we want to keep it to ourselves 😂 Seriously, the campsite is small and friendly, smart, clean and tidy, with all the facilities. We had the last pitch which did not have electric hook up but as we don't yet have a TV, we managed easily on leisure battery and gas for 2 nights. A seasonal couple were extremely helpful when we didn't think our fridge was firing onto gas. Took the dog on some lovely walks and only 10 mins from the local pub via a walk out the back of the campsite, avoiding a busy road. We will certainly be booking again!
