I hear there are certain pitches on this site which are better than others.  We are thinking of going next Aug and keen to book a.s.a.p.   can anyone recommend a particular part of the park to try and book?

thanks

God I don't know what I'm doing!!

JJB I hope this gets to you!

A friend of mine stayed there and she said that it was lovely.  The only thing to be careful of is that apparently you camp on shingle so take something to put under your tent as the shingle started to pierce her groundsheet.

If you have little ones Four Acres has a playpark in the middle.  We prefer Orchard as it is more green and spacious.

Regarding the shingle pitches, they hire out astroturf type mats to go under tents.

There is also a playpark in Northfield but it is off the road and if they are young you wouldn't be able to keep an eye on them from your piitch.

We've stayed in Orchard and Four Acres.

Four Acres does have quite a few pitches which are much bigger than others.  We had a huge pitch in Four Acres when we stayed in May 08. But it was facing/near the washblock on the corner and people kept cutting through and across our pitch  as a short cut.  If you have a dog the dog field is off of this field.

We prefer Orchard as it's quieter and the pitches are still a good size.

I looked at this site for our summer holiday this year.  It looks like a brilliant place but sorry, as far as I'm concerned camping should be done on grass!
