The park is exclusively for adults and is part of the prestigious Tranquil Parks group, a group of some of the top adult only touring parks in the country.
The site has been completely re-landscaped with all new pitches laid to accommodate the larger style of caravans and motorhomes in use today. The park retains its ‘paddock layout with hedges separating each group of 8-10 pitches. New electrics have been installed throughout the park and many of its 118 pitches are now fully-serviced. These have fresh water tap and grey waste drain in addition to electric hook-up from the new lighted services bollards.
Guests four-legged companions have not been overlooked. 10 acres of meadow are retained as pet exercise fields.
