Large Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Orange Field, Unit G wide) Pet FreeAug 2024

Large site with good, large pitches, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, this isn't the site for you. The cleanliness of the toilets and showers leave a lot to be desired. The toilets for the furthest pitches are portacabins and showers are powerful, but don't seem to have been cleaned properly for quite a while. Dead insects on walls and ceiling. A timed button that you have to press every minute, making washing hair and body a constant juggle of holding toiletries and pressing the button. Although, I understand why it's on a timer, it is a pain, especially if you are trying to shower children. The whole site itself looks a bit tired and could do with a bit of a revamp. Security are constantly patrolling in golf carts, although the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, and they do have a well stocked shop. Although there is a pool there, you have to call a mobile to book usage, we called several times and were never answered which was disappointing. I do feel if you have to book, a better system should be implemented to avoid not being able to get use the pool. You are directed how to pitch your tent and park your vehicle. The site is great for kids, with a decent play park and space for them to ride bikes and have a kick about. Overall, if you have kids it's fine for a few days away, or if you're just using it for a base to visit the beautiful Shropshire area as is is quite centrally located for Shrewsbury area. Overall, it was okay but would only visit again if we were taking our grandchildren.

Medium Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit G long)Aug 2024

Great site, lots to do for kids. Swimming golf, ball games area. Play areas for mixed ages and disco/games of a night. Well-stocked shop. Options for takeaway food. Warden's helpful. Great location for nearby pubs, Shrewsbury and days out like Bewilderwood, Alderford lake 10 minutes away with all facilities for self launch, swimming and water sports activities and hire. Our second time at the site and our friends loved it. 8 adults and 4 kids.

Nice, friendly, cheap getaway

Medium Tent - Small Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit E Long)Aug 2024

Nice campsite. All we needed for a short family break. Great pool and refreshments, the pizzas were lovely. Friendly staff and generally nice site. The showers had a bit of a dirty feel, just needed some bleach above eye level. Toilet and sinks were immaculate. Otherwise, ok 👍

VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Gravel and Grass Super Pitches (Red Area, Unit C)Aug 2024

The campsite itself was well managed and facilities were good, but we found that the toilet and shower blocks needed updating. Plenty for kids to do with the swimming pool and play area, as well as evening entertainment.
