A note from the site themselves...
Set up by our grandfather, local Farmer Bateman Marshall, in 1970, this is a true family run park. With the third generation now involved, we're still welcoming families into our family year on year.
The park started with a few basic touring facilities and has been sympathetically extended over the last 50 years to become the five star park it is now known as. We have the beauty of only being a short, safe walk from the bustling village of High Bentham yet you can retreat to your riverside location when you want to just enjoy the peace and quiet.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025
We cannot fault this park, absolutely beautiful. The check in process was quick, friendly and professional, we arrived at our pitch which was in a lovely area by the stream. The park itself is so peaceful and not far from the local village.
Our children enjoyed the play area as well as games rooms
The facilities were immaculate, toilets, showers, utility area all spotless! You can really see that this park is looked after and cared for.
We would love to return.
Lovely place to stay

From the welcome and checking-in process, the immaculate pitches and facilities, and places to explore close by, we were thoroughly impressed for our one-night stay in our Thansporter. The weather was also a bonus.
Will definitely be back.
