Definitely not what we expected, so much better!!! Friendly staff, little shop, drinking water, playground, clean site, showers and clean toilets! No bears nor foxes! What more would you want? Maybe more sun?! ;)
Lovely spot, but a bit water logged in the only area we could pitch our tent

Great spot with a small area for pitching tents, and then a mixture of various other static accommodation. As there were pitch numbers across most of the camp, it was a bit unclear where we should pitch our tent. Ended up using P16, as we couldn't find T16, and then had to move. Putting a large tent up twice in 3 hours in the rain wasn't fun, but once settled, we found the site to be relaxed and just what we enjoy. Fairly laid back on music and campfires, which we enjoy as we like a site that has a bit of life and soul to it. Facilities were very clean and never had to queue for showers or washing up area. Everything is really close and convenient and staff are friendly. It would be great if there was an after hours contact number. We arrived at 18:30 and pretty sure I read on their site that reception was open until 7pm in May, but perhaps I misunderstood the check-in time as reception would be open. Although there are cycle trails in the area, it's not easy to get there by bicycle with little kids directly from the camp as the grass path is very bumpy and you have to avoid the stinging nettles. Kids had a great time cycling around the camp though and really loved the play area. Lots of great local pubs which served good food, but if you're visiting over a bank holiday make sure you get your order in early as waiting times for food were well over an hour. We had a lovely little boat ride at Lee valley boat hire, thankfully the sun was shining for that part of the weekend.
excellent site

The showers were problematic. Not much hot water. Two showers for the ladies and two toilets, two showers for men's and two toilets. I feel that the amenities block needs to be upgraded and needs more showers and toilets.
Pleasant stay

We loved the site, it is cozy with everything within easy walking distance, including the bus to Walthamstow Central! We were greeted with a big smile and comprehensive details of where everything was. Lovely countryside and I think perfect for families as kids would be safe and could explore. Then the frost hit and the water froze up, not just on the pitch but in all the facilities too. When my husband spoke to staff members who were walking around, he was told "oh yeah it happens". If it always happens, then why has there not been an improvement made to the insulation of the cold water stand pipes? I had to trundle across to a shower block to find no tap able to connect a hose to fill the water hog. Then when we left, the chemical toilet block was completely frozen up so not able to empty on board toilet without contents going all over us. Overall though, a fabulous site and we will be back but in the summer!
Excellent week's stay

Thank you! We'll come again. Wonderful place for children if you are not on the "campsite spot" for little ones. You can talk to everyone about the quietness. Great there. Wonderful. Thank you for the stay. If you could clean up the facilities more often, it would be nicer, but what you are doing is super.
Super nice place to stay
