 We went the week leading upto aug bank hols & managed to stay over the bank hol Monday as someone cancelled, were glad we did as there was a VW fest on the campsite which was brilliant, we did have to move when the cancellation became available but this was worth it site it self was clean good play area great dog walk down by the river.
Toilets could become a bit messy & busy but this was due to amount of campers in the adjoining field & it was wet week, staff and other caravanners were all friendly would recommend

We have stayed at this site 3 times. During the day it is a brilliant site. We have 2 young children and they love it here. The playground it brilliant they stay on it nearly all day. There is a great area for playing football and other sports. The tent field is massive so can more or less pitch where you want. We didn't venture off the site because the kids were so content so cant comment on shops etc.
You have to pay a deposit of £20 for a key to the toilets/shower rooms, but you get that back when you leave. The toilets are clean enough, although toilet paper disappears pretty fast. The ones near the camping field are shut for 3 hours from 12ish, although I personally don't no why it takes 3 hours to clean them! But there is another toilet block less than 5 mins away (at the front of the site) so not really a problem. The showers are really hot too and free!
There is a dog walking area, although it is through a field where there are horses all the time so if your scared of horses its not ideal.
So like I say during the day it is a brilliant site. However the night time is a different matter. Firstly there is a pub across the road which has music absolutely blasting until 1 a.M. One weekend we went it threw it down and we could still hear the music as if we were sat outside the pub.
When you do manage to get to sleep the cockerels wake you up at 3.45am followed by the geese making their noise, followed by the cows mooing. But this of course is not anybodies fault - just life!
So would I recommend this site - well like I said we have been 3 times. We would go back but not for any longer than 2 nights at a time, because we come away feeling absolutely shattered through lack of sleep! If something was done about the loud music stopping at say 11pm then we would stay for longer definitely.

My friend booked this site for 4 families. When I read previous reviews I was a bit apprehensive but what I can say now from experience is that this is an excellent site. The toilet/shower facilities are excellent. Very clean (and kept on top of). Ample facilities for both personal washing and dish washing (even with a nice view of the site). The play area is fantastic particularly for older children (my eldest is 12). The icecream and burger van are very good value for money. There is no shop on site so the Icecream van was a godsend. The tent field is huge, therefore lots of space available between tents and space to play rounders! The weekend we visited there was a Birds of Prey demonstration which was free of charge unless you wanted to feed or handle a bird. The only negative point is the bouncy castle which was expensive at £1 for 10 minutes.
I will definitely be returning. I live 30 minutes away but would never have known it.

We went to this site at the end of June. We had a great weekend the kids loved it there was about 16 of us and the kids where never of the playground you could leave the kids to do there own things and not worry about them going off. The toilets and the shower blocks where always nice and clean but they could do with changing the times to clean them as they where closed at 12.30 till 3.00pm and not good if you are in tent. We would definitely go back as the children loved it and so did the adults. Its a great place to go if you don't want to spend a lot of money as there is nothing to spend your money on. The lovely pub across the road is great as its food was lovely and not to expensive and was like a wacky warehouse. Its next to part of the farm and they have lots of different animals for the kids to see.

Me and my other half stopped at this site for one night only as we are camping virgins! We loved everything about this campsite and would highly recommend it! We could not fault it in any way.
The playground for the children was great, the children on the site loved it, we were very impressed as all the adults were out and children were playing right up to 11pm but then everything went very quiet so we were able to get a good nights sleep.
The toilet and shower block are kept very clean, the lady that greeted us was very helpful and polite.
There is a fast food van on site that is very reasonable, if you don’t fancy cooking or a great pub opposite the site that serve 2 for 1 meals, we ate there and the food was very nice and the staff friendly.
We booked the site before we went and thought it a little on the expensive side but when we arrived we realised that you certainly get what you pay for and found it extremely good value for money.
We will definitely be going back to this site but for longer than 1 night next time.

This is not a tent friendly site. The caravan owners brought their dogs on to the field where the tents are sent, to exercise them and use it as a toilet.
The child play area is noisy throughout the day, and then occupied by noisy teenagers late on in to the evening. There was no noise discipline on this site, when we visited there was loud music being played from one camper until 1.30am on more than one occasion.
The toilets were closed from 12.30 till 15.30 hrs while being cleaned. They were on occasions rather messy, but this was down to certain campers in all honesty.
There is the one vehicle per pitch rule in operation at this site. The car park is quite small, so be warned. In our party we had a couple of campers with disabilities so we had to ferry them to there vehicles.

The first thing that becomes apparent, on arrival, is this is not a holiday site. This site is 90% residents who go off to work in the morning and all return after 5pm.
The Rose and crown pub down the road would not allow children in after 7pm, a time we like to have our evening meal whilst on holiday. The fast food pub opposite the site were having their late xmas party the night we were there and so decided to close early . The hotel next to the site no longer open their public bar, so we had to spend the night in the caravan in front of the tv.
This area is not what we look for on a break.
A very poor site to which we will not be returning.

We are regular visitors to Royal Umpire. Lovely site. Grounds are well kept and pitches are flat. Site is secure as barrier entry. Nice park which our kids love. Toilets are relatively clean though can be left little messy by other untidy guests. Couple of pubs within walking distance which serve food, one with a children's play area. Maybe a little more expensive than some of the other sites we have been to but well worth a visit.

We stayed 2 nights 10th October 08 and was greeted by a friendly receptionist. Paid the £20 to cover the swipe barrier card and toilet key and in we went to our allocated pitch.
It had water and electric hook up and was fine.
It was allocated past the people who 'live' here and try and make their sites unique. But a lot of the lived in plots were very tired indeed.
Went out the first night to the Rose and Crown pub (turn left on exit) about 5-10 mins walk away. Lovely meal and atmosphere. We then went to the other pub opposite the site. A very large pub that also did meals but at 9.30pm was not very busy.
It was a cheaper bar and I could imagine gets too busy at certain times of the year.!
The toilet blocks were lovely and clean and hot water all the time.
It was a quiet site and I enjoyed it further into the park than near the entrance.
They have a lovely kids play area although this was not one of our needs on this visit.
The only negative for me was the 'lived' in caravan area that you passed going in and out of the campsite.
I feel and I think the people who live here most of the year might benefit from their own private area away from the weekenders / visitors as some peoples taste in decorating their caravans was an eyesore and If the campsite wants to attract more people to it then the campsite should instil that these people smarten this area up. !

Stayed at this site on the whit weekend.
On entrance there is a security barrier with swipe card (£20 refundable deposit) this also gives you access to the toilet / shower blocks.
As you drive onto the site, the first thing you see is a giant american style motor home, adorned with elvis painting and every type of american flag.
The plots are quite spacious with gravel and grass, super pitch included water,drain and mains hookup. So far so good.
Most of the site seems to be seasonal tourers with huge awnings,(approx 80%) most have full size home furniture in them, not small camping style chairs etc, and most have full size tv's (full size noise coming from each awning).
Quite a number of caravans were extremely tacky, with plastic gardens outside, complete with gnomes and plastic windmills! several pitches had things like old caravan parts, (an old oily axle) a dismantled motorbike, and one chap having a bit of a car boot sale!
Car parking outside was poor in places, as the tourers had that much garden furniture and lawnmowers etc, cars wouldnt fit, so it was a tight squeeze between each car.
The toilet block was reasonably clean, but we visited at various different times, and there was never any loo roll, or soap in the dispensers. Although it was entry with key, there always seemed to be loads of kids unsupervised playing in the loos.
Showers push button type, but ran hot and cold hard to get a constant temperature.
Childrens play area was very good, but tended to get taken over by older kids, too old for swings.
Sadly the site reminded us of 'Steptoe's Yard', and a lot of the caravans and pitches looked like gypsy sites.One site that we will never return to.
