Date of Visit: August 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Selina_chris 3 reviews from this member

 My family visited the site over the Bank holiday weekend. It was our first time using our caravan, so didn't want to go to far!  Got to the site, was welcomed with excellent staff, shown to our pitch, all in a matter of ten minutes. We had a hard standing pitch, ground was a little uncared for, but that was the only problem with our stay.
Showers were clean, noise was low (park was fully booked) and our boys loved waking up facing the animals. Overall a great place to stay.

 Booked 4 nights here and only stayed 1! The childrens entertainment and adult bar are miles apart! The adult bar wasn't open during the week (AUGUST!) The childrens 'barn' was a BARN. Cold, Damp, Dark and Dirty. The cafe only opened for breakfast 9.30am - 11.30am and the take away closed at 1.45pm! To get to the loo you had to walk through woods - children were petrified! Ouside (heated?) pool - it was warmer out than in! The only good point was the staff - they did refund our money when we explained we wanted to leave - after offering a credit note 1st!

 First impressions of the site were not great as there were many caravans and statics there that looked very untidy and various animals enclosures dotted about. But overall a very nice site.
The field that we stayed in was quite a trek to a toilet / shower block but there were always facilities available and they were cleaned regularly.
The disco seemed very popular with kids, teenagers and adults and there was food available outside. The music did stop at a reasonable time - around 11pm. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the shop was well equipped with food, cool drinks and camping items.
We were also given a swipe card to enter the site which made you feel that bit safer! I agree that the ground there is very hard, but some spots are ideal. I must admit that there is room for improvement. More toilet facilities, washing up facilities etc, but other than that a good site! 


Date of Visit: June 2006 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: B.Reid 2 reviews from this member

 Having read the previous reviews we were a little bit apprehensive when we arrived at the campsite. As this was our first camping trip alone, we had decided on a fairly local site and this one seemed to have it all. Taking our 14 year old son and his friend, we were praying that they wouldn't get bored and that we could get a nice peaceful couple of days.

On arrival we were greeted by the friendly staff in the shop and were told that a steward would be waiting at our pitch to help us get sorted. The site security was very good with a "swipe" system for the barrier. We were also given an information pack with the cafe, take away, bar and club opening and closing times. We were a far way from the man entrance but were very close to the nearest toilets, waste bins ad clean water points. The steward was very good in that when we got to the pitch, it was still a little muddy from all of the recent heavy rain. The pitch next door was a lot better and he said that we could use that one instead. While setting up,we got the boys to check out the facilities which they approved of ( thank goodness!).

The cafe/takeaway was very reasonably priced as was the shop. Although we were quite close to "The Barn" and we could hear the music, it wasn't too intrusive and was promptly shut at 11PM. A bit of a moan now as we were woken quite early the following morning by a fleet of concrete lorries arrived. I suppose if they are improving the site, this sort of thing must be tolerated. Apparently they are building a new bigger barn.

We didn't fancy the disco that was being held that night so after a quite enjoyable meal from the take away we settled down for a quiet night with a couple of beers while the boys went out for a couple of hours. It got a little rowdy around 11 PM, again the disco finished promptly. But within 20 minutes or so all was quiet. All in all a nice pleasant site.

The toilets were cleaned on a regular basis the facilities in general were good and the shop wasn't over priced. We bought 4 cans of Stella for £4.36 which is only marginally more than we'd pay at home. The reviews which said about poor hygeine must have been really unlucky. Yes, the ground is hard, but we only had plastic pegs and as long as you have a bit of patience and are prepared to try different spots to hammer your pegs in then you'll be ok. There did seem to be a lot of vans that appeared to have been there a long time which had moss,/ mould growing on them but if you are only there for a few days this shouldn't deter you from going. As I mentioned earlier, this was our very first camping trip and we had a good time. Hope you do too.

 High expectations from a £17/night fee. how wrong were we. My wife and I and my two cousins stopped for three nights over the bank holiday weekend and was disappointed from the get go. As with many other reviews the ground in places was rock hard forcing my cousin to take a trip out and buy new pegs. The site was very poorly maintained with some sections looking like a builders yard. With the strange menagerie of animals on site it sounded like a farmyard first thing in the morning. The swimming pool was advertised as a heated pool but was opened only when the weather was good. On a positive note the shop was very well stocked and the staff in there were very nice but this site was let down by lack of care and attention and a very strange layout

Reviewer: S.Ball 15 reviews from this member

 Just to inform everyone beware of the ground here, it is solid rock! We needed rock pegs. Great site for families though, play area brilliant and the children loved the out door swimming pool! There are lots of long term residents with trailer tents which seem to have been pitched for years! 


Date of Visit: April 2006 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Andrea Fensome 6 reviews from this member

 On arrival the site looked promising, however once through the barrier all change! It was tatty and quite run down. The toilets were quite clean but the showers were fairly dated with mouldy curtains. We couldn't help feeling we had been put in an "overspill" field, although we had the most expensive pitches! The field was extremely boggy and muddy, obviously we could not help the rain! The park for the children was quite good but was right next to us and there was a number of 'savoury mouthed' teenagers there most of the time. Lots of resident caravanners but old equipment.

 Drove up to this site and saw caravans with awnings with green moss on them. Before booking in I went and looked around and have to agree with the previous report. The toilets were not very clean and it may be because it is a disused air field that makes it look like a disused airfiled. The staff were very friendly but we decided not to stay so we left.

Reviewer: Wendy Woo 1 review from this member

 This is the first camping site I've ever been to, being as its my first time camping. Totally enjoyed our stay. Felt safe enough for the kids to just go visit the animals etc. pitched near the toilets and shower block which was convienient. A friendly place and might I add security concious. Did however find the ground was very hard which had hubby swearing just a little bit bending umpteen tent pegs. I loved it and will be going back next week.

Reviewer: Fudge11 14 reviews from this member

 There is something about this site that we just really dont like at all.
When we first pulled in, it looked more of a gypsy site. Hard standing pitches were on what looked like a car park. Our kids had great trouble meeting friends (we were told that this was our 'strange northern accent'. There was a kids disco in a barn.Dont wear white cos it is absolutely filthy. (i suppose to be expected in a barn) and drunken teenagers getting it on with each other on the dance floor.
It wasn't warm enough to try the outdoor pool.
on a plus, we found the staff really friendly and helpful.
Shrewsbury is nice to visit.
We also went to Town Park at Telford. Our girls loved this - best of all its all free. You can pay to visit Wonderland but we couldn't them off the park to go and visit
