Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesMay 2025
We found the location and spaces between each pitch good. Staff at reception were friendly.
The shower facilities were, although basic, clean and regularly checked but we did have to wait for toilets/basins/showers one morning as it was really busy. Stated they had 'a cafe/bar serving all your favourites, a shop for all your essentials as well as our lovely newly Refurbished Play park' but at the time of our visit there was only a 'club house' offering limited drinks and no food.
We didn't find the shop and couldn't see the play park (we didn't have any children with us so no need) but found that the children in the tents/caravans around us played on any empty pitches. They are also advertising a brand new multi-million pound leisure complex coming soon but if it's the eyesore building you see as you enter the site, I can't see it being ready 'soon'.
Finally, far too many speed bumps. Appreciate there are children playing but five from the entrance gate to reception, then a further two to the pitches is rather excessive and in a motorhome, leads to a bumpy ride!
As stated, it was nice but we wouldn't visit again.
