VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Touring Pitches (Members Only)Sep 2025

I would like to put a completely honest and fair review of this campsite. Firstly, the location is about 3 miles from the centre of Ashbourne. The campsite itself really is a back to basics campsite. It is a small grass field with a few electric hook up pitches, which are a fairly nice size. It has one portaloo which is used by everyone, therefore it is rather dirty and smells terrible. It definitely feel like it needs to be cleaned and emptied more than once a day to handle the amount of people that use it. The owners left cleaning products inside the toilet, but not everyone would be willing to clean after they have used it. And, of course, the waiting to use the one toilet is also a problem, I could not imagine what this would be like when the site is at full capacity, there was only 3 groups camping with us and it was bad enough. If you have your own toilet, then I would recommend the site as it is a lovely location with nice walks around the area and the view from the field is very pleasant.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. We make it very clear we have a portaloo on site which is emptied twice a week and pressure washed, cleaned and checked many times a day. It is quiet on site and no way was it smelly or queues as many people have their own facilities. You shouldn't book the site in the first place if a portaloo facility is not what you want and go elsewhere.

Great location

We love the site as it is small, manageable and has very few restrictions. We get many returning customers who want to relax by a campfire at night, be together and children love playing on the field. We want everyone to enjoy their stay and see the local wildlife at its best.
