Clippesby Hall Reviews

Amazing Campsite, will definitely return!

My family and I had an amazing few days at Clippesby Hall campsite. We stayed on South Park, pitches 74 and 75 which I would highly recommend as it was close to the toilets/showers so not far to venture in the night. Location of the site is central to many surrounding villages with lots of things to do. The campsite itself was brilliant, friendly staff, great pitches for tents, facilities were amazing, so clean and had everything you needed even a laundry room! The basecamp on site is great with delicious food and drinks, lovely atmosphere, shop for essentials, mini golf, kids play park and games room. They've literally thought of everything. An all around beautiful place. We will 100% be coming back and probably stay longer now that we've got the camping bug!

Lovely stay in stunning grounds

Absolutely lovely site our favourite we have been several times pitches are spacious love the woodland and wildlife. Restaurant is lovely, smart, clean and good service with a smile. Shower and toilet blocks good. Thank you for yet another great stay x

Beautiful - enjoyable - a must visit

Stunning location in beautiful grounds with plenty for the kids to do. The gardens are well cared for and thoughtful to the setting including a resident peacock for good measure. Facilities are great and there is plenty of them. They're spacious & clean. The two cleaning ladies worked superbly hard - thank you! My only grumble would be the restaurant/bar set up, not having enough staff. The same queue for food, drinks, shop, ice cream & mini golf. Made it impossible to get served in a reasonable time. Not a reflection on the staff, they're friendly and do a great job. A QR code order system would benefit all. Management should revise the set up given the quantity of guests. That being said, the food is delicious and served in good time. The pizzas were amazing albeit a little on the pricy side. It would be good to have a few more convenient options in the shop and perhaps open earlier than 9am. The kids (9, 10 & 11) enjoyed the parks and the zip wires & were happy exploring the vast area of woodland space. We will definitely be visiting again :)

Excellent!

I love the campsite. We kept showers, excellent, clean, nice, warm water. Beautiful grounds, look forward to returning in the future. Fabulous, well kept facilities. The shower areas were so clean and roomy with lots of hot water.

Great camping site!

Excellent find, will definitely be back!

Great site with excellent facilities

A great stay with our 2 young grandchildren. Plenty to do on site including playground, mini golf, zip wires etc but not too much that you don't have chance to just take things easy. Shower facilities were the best we've experienced and food in restaurant was really excellent. Area great to get to local places of interest. We went to Bewilderwood which was a fantastic day out. Will definitely be back.

Recommend

Super friendly, clean and welcoming environment.

Midweek trip

Great facilities, excellent pitches. Well maintained with all services at pitch. Restaurant/bar facilities were very good, all contained within the modern facilities building, along with shower and ablution services. Highly recommend a stay here, the management and staff are highly professional and make sure your stay is a memorable one.

We will book again

A lovely site with well screened pitches. Everything was clean. Great club house that served delicious pizzas. Nice mini golf course and woodland trail. Location was perfect for us, just a short drive to various beaches and boat hire yards. We will be back. We went out of season so nice and peaceful, but I would expect it would be great for families in the summer.

Stunning setting

We stayed for 4 nights with our dogs. The camp is set in beautiful surroundings, lots of places to walk. Peaceful and staff lovely.

Amazing place

Really lovely stay, very clean, very well spaced out pitches and the food was really good. We stayed on the Heath, which was lovely and quiet, but toilets were back at base camp which was a little walk at 4am, but I believe they open these during busier times. They do close the bar/restaurant at 8pm Monday to Saturday, and 6pm on Sunday, meaning your options for food are very limited. Great staff and excellent facilities, we will be coming back again.

Amazing find!

Fantastic site! We will definitely be returning. We have a family camp every year and this is the site for us next year. Looking forward to returning. The biggest thing for us was how friendly and welcoming the staff were!

Very pleasant

Would recommend, bit pricey even in Feb time, but enjoyed. Staff helpful onsite and in Basecamp. Don't mind paying for my dogs to stay with us but not very accommodating in regards to dog mess bins (even though staff mentioned to discard dog mess in ordinary bins), but can't really complain as the dogs had an outside shower with hot and cold running water 😀

Beautiful

Only a 2 night stay at Clippesby Hall, massive pitches, each one looked like a lovely pitch, situated between a wooded area. The pitch I chose was fully serviced. Very level and close to facilities. The toilets and showers were always kept clean and tidy, even when only one block was in use for this time of year. The restaurant on site looked amazing. We had a take away pizza because dogs were not allowed in that area. So,we sat outside for a drink. That's the only negative I'd give. But there was some lovely short walks in the woods to take our Pug. It was a bit of a distance to walk to others pubs and on a busy road without pavements, so we stayed on site. But I enjoyed the stay there.

Lovely site great staff

Lovely site and pitches. Facilities are very good and the staff are excellent. The Basecamp is a very well run facility providing great food and service

Christmas break

Very good stay, excellent food and facilities available. Clean and friendly.

Weekend stay

Excellent site, the basecamp cafe and bar had very good food. The service was quick, the meals were hot and, very reasonably priced. The miniature golf was fun.

Such a shame you’re so dog averse!

I feel you shouldn't list yourselves as dogs allowed. There was not a dog bin in sight, hence the poo bags being placed into general waste bins. There were no dogs allowed in any of the bar or restaurant areas. I feel that expecting us to pay for the dogs to stay and then also expecting us to sit outdoors in the middle of winter in a non-enclosed outside area with blankets seems laughable. We were looking forward to a meal and a few drinks in your restaurant/bar, but were not able to. We've travelled all over the UK and to many dog friendly sites which feel wonderfully inviting and we would certainly return to many of them. If travelling without a fur family, the pitches and facilities are of a good standard. However, be prepared for bin trucks, leaf blowers and general noisiness first thing in the morning if situated at base camp. Again, a shame as the pitches do deliver! All in all, a disappointing stay. I think the management/owners of the campsite would prefer a no dog policy, rather than charge per dog and offer a frosty reception.

Lovely site

Lovely and quite just birdsong shops very good for essentials Lovely site we will be back

Perfect getaway

We were so impressed with this site. The pitches are dotted about amongst trees and meadows. Very clean and tidy. The restaurant/shop/bar is exceptional and the food is amazing and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

Facilities great, but felt that the staff were unfriendly and not helpful

We arrived on the Sunday. We parked up and went to the base camp for lunch to be told we were unable to have anything as we needed to book this, I did not see this in any of the info I had. We asked if we could have a sandwich as we had nothing with us and we like to use facilities on site, particularly this time of year to help put money back into the site. We were turned away, cold and hungry 😕 The following day we found that the fish sandwiches are only available on certain days, I don't think you keep any food within your kitchen and must have deliveries on the day. What about residents with food allergies, can you not cater for them either?

Site's response

Hello Sarah, We are sorry that you were disappointed at not being able to get a table with us on Sunday. We do get very busy on Sundays and state that booking is essential. This information is provided in our pre-arrival information guide which I can see was emailed to you on 14th November. See extract below: "The Bar, Kitchen, Café, Shop and Information Centre opening times vary throughout the year. Please call for more details. We ask that you book a table if you would like to eat in BASECAMP; Booking essential for Sunday Roasts. BASECAMP offers cakes and scones, breakfast, lunch and evening meals including gourmet burgers, specialty pizzas and some pub style classics". We do have a fairly extensive menu and cater for food allergies. Please let us know if you had a food allergy that we were unable to accommodate.

Great stay

Lovely stay at Clippesby. Helpful staff helped us to rent out bikes and showed us routes. They also offered bingo and quiz on one of our nights, which was fun!

What an amazing place, can't wait to come back

We have stayed at many sites and this site was up there with the best.

Great break, it was what we wanted & needed

The break that we wanted and needed. The place and location was ideal for us. The staff where welcoming and helpful, couldn't fault anyone. The facilities were great and housekeeping have done a great job in keeping showers and toilets clean, especially as it was wet the first part of the week. The only moan really is the shower heads need descaling. As an afterthought, maybe consider shower panels as it's difficult to keep mould and dirt out of the grout, but all in all, we would come back. Thank you for the break, certainly needed.

Worth a visit

Quiet, clean and tidy. Nice bar and café and well stocked small shop, so all in all, worth a visit. We will be going again.
