I have added a review of one site and I saw it completely differently from everyone else, but I was objective. Don't quite understand how someone else's "did not pack them in" squared with what I experienced. You can only post what YOU see and experience. More info on the local area would generally be helpful.

It was only submitted on the 21st August, and as you were informed can take several weeks at this time of year, however I have pulled it out and made it live. Many thanks for the support

Glad I read this one.

I'm going to start writing my reviews soon on all four sites visited this year.

Some of them had their last reviews 12 months ago so I'll do those first.

I'll just say what I think but remember "one mans meat is another mans poison"!!

I try to point out that I am camping in a tent/trailer tent as the type of unit can make a big difference to how you may see things like the showers.  I have seen one post on here, where the person did not understand why people needed clean showers as he always used that facitlites in his van.   This was on a thread not a review.
I also point out that I camp with two young children - as the needs of a family may be totally different than a couple with no children.      Also the ages of the children can be important - the delightful toddler park may not be of any use to the adventurous 6 year old.   
As I usually have both children in the shower with me, I will point out that they are cramped/ideal for mums with little ones.

If a site is muddy I find that it helps if people point out that it has been raining for weeks before they went.
That the cleaning staff were doing a steriling job despite the constant rain.

I think that you have to read several reviews on a site and decide for yourself.    No good just reading that there was a constant steam of kids back and forth to the play park - from the people that don't have kids, and don't really approve of kids camping.

Pictures, other than the sites own stock photos help, especially where sloping pitches are concerned. I always try to Google Image a site before I go, so there are no horrible surprises. And, I really wish I’d taken my camera to the play field at Trevornick, as that angle showed the steepest parts and the enormity of the whole site.

 

(Thanks for putting my review live so quickly guys).

i don't think you can put pictures in a review confused smiley #17428 although my homepage has a record of my camping 'experiences'.

this picture from the eweleaze farm website seems to be taken at the exact spot that we camped although where they found that flat bit i don't know!   but i have no complaints
