 Lovely peaceful site. Only 3 units on the first day/night. Facilities fine and clean but water temp far too hot in ladies shower first morning. Just a glitch?
This is a forest campsite with a very bumpy forest access road. You have been warned but just go slowly. Lots of bitey flying things. We were well bitten. Forgot the bug spray.
Club house served a limited but tasty menu and reasonably priced drink. Swimming pool looked great but we didn't use it.
We left on a Saturday morning as schools broke up for summer on the Friday evening. Thank God we did. We were on a hardstanding adjacent to the play area and it was beyond 10pm when kids were still out making a racket. Hey that's life but they were noisy.
All in all a nice place to stay fantastic for families/kids. Shop small hug dold what we needed. No complaints overall. Special mention goes to Darren whose personality really helps the day go better so we'll done you

Beautiful location, no traffic noise whatsoever,
Bring your own food as shop is very limited,
Facilities dated and grubby, need a thorough clean in every block,
The swimming pool would be a definite return, but facilities doubtful

Friendly welcome, clean facilities, great remote forest campsite.
We ran from the site but would highly recommend bringing bikes too!
Lovely wild forest feel.

Full disclosure : we stayed during the 2022 heatwave. No green grass to be seen. Shade was hit & miss for the pitches.
Very hard ground with sandy surface made it tricky to get our tent pegs in.
Pool water was cloudy, which seemed off-putting but we had no issues.
Ablutions block was cleaned regularly but could use some updating or repairs - a couple of washing-up sinks didn't work, dryer & washing machine both partly out of action during our stay.
Shop was small and didn't always have bread & milk (the very basics).
I would recommend this campsite only for a short break (3/4 nights) rather than for the fortnight we stayed.

All in all very nice,
Unfortunately the showers were cold late afternoon,
The outdoor swimming pool is a great little touch especially as it was very warm when we stayed.

Just fabulous setting and congratulations to the team for keeping it that way. Massive pitch making it very easy to set up.
Totally dog and children friendly with pitches in adult areas. Wonderful walks through forest paths and of beat tracks on site shop open all day for those essentials and a lovely bar and restaurant (food great)
All in all a first class idyllic location for all dog lovers and ramblers and also fantastic site for children as you can pitch around the park next to swimming pool making it easy to maintain security of children always playing in sight
10/10

We wanted somewhere local to try our caravan for the first time.
We loved the site - beautiful forest with great walks, pool and the food vans are a brilliant idea.
My only criticism would be the road into the site. It is full of potholes and very bumpy. 5mph tops if you want to keep your wheels!

Bear in mind that facilities were not yet fully open due to Covid-19 requirements. That said, the staff were very friendly and helpful and we were made to feel welcome.
The food choice was limited but we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The track through the forest was far better than some previous reviews had suggested that they might be.
There are certainly innumerable trails nearby and the going was pretty easy. We'll be back

Lovely location the roadway approach could do with some attention very dusty and bumpy mile long track leading to site.
Well run, friendly staff, good amenities
Would definitely recommend we have rebooked for a later date

Stayed here for 3 nights with electric.
We stayed here with friends n we both have boys 8/9yrs old and a 1yr old baby. Boys like the park.
Pros:
We were put in a double pitch in Ash which was great (lots of space).
Site is clean.
We were met by a young guy (tied Dark wavy hair) who was very friendly, polite n helpful.
Plenty of walks surrounding the campsite.
Kids enjoyed the park.
Cons:
Road to the campsite is is BAD. 5mph if you don't want to damage your car. Potholes needs filling!
Amenities could be updated!
Some of the staffs could smile and be more friendly.
