Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJul 2025

One of the best sites I have stayed at. So very clean, the staff and owners are extremely helpful and very chatty. I had a tyre problem and they found the number of the garage for me. The site is set in the countryside with a lovely walk along a country path to the river. Local amenities are fantastic, The Ship pub offers a discount for campers and a short walk over the rail bridge, The Black Bear pub is also friendly, with a good selection of beers. Easy access to all the local tourist sites either by rail bus or car. We are definitely booking for next year.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesJun 2025

Lovely little campsite. It was very full due to 'tank fest'. The team there were very helpful, even put my caravan on its pitch and helped me take it off. Helpful and friendly. Beautiful area. My only complaint the weather was too hot (33 degrees) for us tough northerners, but at least the shop on site had plenty of ice lollies to cool us down.
