Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Lakeside PitchesAug 2025

If you want a basic experience, but in a beautiful setting - this suits. Licence to run camping on a festival site. festival portaloos and shower. Festival sink outside. The bar and. 'extras' weren't available for us as it was a Tues and Wed night. Loads of space at this time of year and great for my 2 dogs (must be on a lead though). Handy coop down the road - very close!

Lively, fun site

Bell Tent - Luxury 5m Bell Tents (Dog Friendly)Aug 2025

Positives. Lively friendly site. bell tent was spacious and comfortable. Restaurant on site had limited but good quality food. Good selection of drinks and evening entertainment. Yoga class was good. Negatives. We would probably have enjoyed the site 20 years ago without kids. While the evening music was good, there was no quiet policy enforced as advertised. Music went on until 12:30 on the Saturday night and the resident DJ and crew then set up a bonfire with loud music and shouting until around 3 in the morning. Not great with young kids. The site gave a festival feel rather than being an eco site, not a compost loo in sight. Instead, portaloos that by the Sunday morning were overflowing with excrement. Showers were basic and there was one sink for the whole site. The on lead dog policy again was not enforced, lots of off lead dogs equals lots of dog mess, not pleasant when most of the family end up stepping in it. Our dog was aggressively chased by an off lead dog which meant I had to sit with him in the tent while my husband took our son to see one of the bands playing, so a bit disappointing we couldn't enjoy our evening together. Overall, we've stayed in better quality for money eco sites that are more family friendly and with much better facilities. I'd take a compost loo over porta loos every time. If they adhered to their own quiet policy and dog policy as written on the listing, it would be more family friendly, but a good site for friends and young couples.
