This campsite offers spacious grounds with plenty of room for privacy, and features like a small river for water activities. While some campers appreciate the friendly staff and clean facilities, others note issues with noise from groups and nearby roads. The site is popular with campers and caravans, providing a back-to-basics experience that can be both peaceful and bustling. Despite some cleanliness concerns in the sanitary blocks, many guests express a desire to return for the natural setting and amenities.

Non-electric (field camping)
We used the place as basecamp to visit London on our way back to Belgium coming from Cornwall. Campings closer to London were full. Glad we could camp here. A lot of space and trees for shadow. Very friendly reception in person of Sue. They arranged late chack-in for us via a code, as we got stuck in traffic. Sanitary blocks are clean and much space as well. I would definitely return
A lovely campsite, clean facilities. Great to Paddle board.
It was a shame the a couple of groups saw it fit to party and play loud music beyond midnight. They was no one to police the behaviour of guests, which I feel is needed on a huge site.
My husband and I also felt that there should be more than one toilet/shower block as it was some distance from our pitch by the riverside.

The camping field is fairly big and basically bare (as can be seen on the pictures). Everything went as expected, toilets and showers were functional (even though not the cleanest and prettiest but that is to be expected from a camp of this size I suppose).
Since the field is so big, it was quite windy without anything to break the winds but otherwise all good.
Superb, well located and peaceful. Large site with multiple areas to pitch up. The rental fire pit was a nice touch. I would return.
Great place, and have a lot of room with you wanted to have a private space.
Back to basics weekend camp. Loved the space due to size of venue
Lovely camp ground - has a small river running through it. Kids love playing on the rope over the water. Kids were happy and everything was there that we needed. You can hire fire pits

Planned a last minute camp, and glad I chose this campsite.
The check in was straightforward and the instructions and information was clear.
Plenty of space to choose your pitch, toilets are very clean and had all the amenities I needed.
Great site and facilities. Lots of space and beautiful countryside. We were made to feel very welcome. Will be back!

Tim who was on duty when we arrived was lovely, kind and very helpful. This is not our type of campsite however. I was misled by the description that said camping in fields and woodland (the description needs clarification). No woodland you can camp in just woodland around the fields. Secondly, the place is full of campervans, caravans and vans which you walk through to find the more serene areas and pass if you need the toilet. Some are nice but there are some very tatty static homes and other strange vehicles that do nothing to dress the place up. You can hear the main road and the motorbikes until late at night - it is a big site so I guess if you kept on walking you could escape this if you go far enough from the facilities and first few acres. I am sure this site is great for some people so not knocking it - definitely not for us. We like natural, quiet and non-commercial where the focus is on the environment not vehicles and flagpoles and lights etc. This site is well suited to the caravan type and a more basic person. It’s cheap so perhaps there’s a correlation there. Different horses different courses. Not our course.
Firstly, when we arrived, the host told us that only 6 fire pits were available for the entire campsite (obviously big attendance on site as its bank holiday weekend) so a bit of a disappointment. Secondly, we pitched our tent further away from a group of 20 campers playing music extremely loud. We asked them kindly to turn the music down to which they responded “you are far away from us anyway”. We tried to resume our evening but the music was just TOO loud so we asked them again to which they responded with even louder music, singing and dancing as if to provoque us. We rang the office to ask for help. Whilst we were waiting for the host to intervene, one of the campers drove past us with music very loud and aggressively asking us “what is your problem?”. When the host turned up and told them to lower the music, we were hoping to have a lovely evening but as soon as the host left they continued to play the music really loud resulting us in packing up and leaving the campsite. This is such a shame that fellow campers were acting in such a disrespectful way and that nothing was done by the host to stop them. Due to the threatening behaviour of this fellow camper, we didn’t feel safe and had to leave.

Lovely site can't wait to return. Staff very friendly and helpful. Site has good facilities.
Not to have a noisy circus so close!!!! With loud music which I should have been notified about when booking! 2 hours of it was enough for me to leave! I obviously didn’t stay for the night!
Stayed for 2 nights in a tent. Sue was very accommodating, even driving us to the co-op to get some logs for our fire pit. Would recommend going here on a Friday night for a weekend trip out of London.
Made a last minute booking because the weather is good. It’s a nice field, lots of space to camp and have a little forest vibe place you can hide in. We came in via train, it’s about 18 min walk from train station.

Excellent campsite. Facilities were good, and there is no end of space. Loved the walks along the river, and access for our paddle boards were plentiful.
Will definitely be back

Sue and Sharon were very friendly and helpful, showers and toilets were very clean, site was quiet and cleaner than i hoped for. Overall enjoyed our stay here!!
Cleaning in the toilet and shower area was really not good. It was dirty in both men and women area and the water drain in the shower didn’t work, so we “drowned” during shower and no shelve to put the clothes on
Nice location, allows dogs and campfires which is a massive bonus. Big enough to have some privacy even when busy, and the toilets/showers kept clean.

Didn't realise that there would be multiple people with petrol dirt bikes tearing around the field in which we were camping, not the experience we leave London for to be honest. Nothing against dirt bikes, just time and a place. Apart from that it was adequate.
Huge camp site! Can be as close or far away from people as you want. This was our first trip with our dogs so we chose a nice quiet spot in the corner. Toilets and showers clean. Staff very friendly. Had everything you could possible need for a weekend of camping
Beautiful place to camp
Great walks
Scenic views
Really good for dogs
