Great views, poor sleep, and a boxing stream — all in one weekend.
✅ The Positives (let’s get them out the way)
- Easy to find — no sat nav nightmares here.
- Check-in was smooth — no queues, no faff.
- Wi-Fi was unreal for a rural site — genuinely impressed.
Managed to stream the Usyk fight on Saturday night with no buffering (called the win weeks ago).
That’s about it for the good stuff, sadly.
🚽 Facilities vs People
As you’ll probably notice from the drone shots (one of the rules that was broken this weekend, No Drones!) I took, this site is huge.
Which begs the question: why are there so few toilets?
- The main reception had a solid block — clean, well maintained.
- The camping areas had four port-a-loos… for what felt like hundreds of people.
- I only saw the port-a-loos getting cleaned on day 3 — and we were packing up to leave.
🚿 Showers?
- 6 standard
- 2 accessible
That’s it. No queue management, no cleaning rotation I could see. Just vibes.
🔇 Rules That Don’t Exist
The site had rules clearly posted:
- 🔥 Fires out by 11pm
- 🗣️ Quiet talking only after 11
- 🔕 No noise after midnight
- 🚁 No dones on site at all (Naturally this had to be broken)
Unfortunately, none of it was policed.
Night One = Write-Off
We arrived late after driving from Yorkshire.
Pitched up in the dark (in what turned out to be a bad spot near the main walkway), and hoped for some sleep.
Instead, we got:
- Drunken wandering
- Door slamming (those sprung toilet doors were brutal)
- Chatting, shouting, and general chaos until well past 1am
I’m all for a good time, but if you’re going to post rules, enforce them. Otherwise, what’s the point?
💰 Value for Money?
£17 per person per night.
With:
- Poor toilet/shower ratios
- No rule enforcement
- And broken sleep
Honestly? I’ve stayed at much better sites for much less.

Might be alright for a midweek stay with fewer people,
but at the weekend? Bring earplugs, low expectations, and maybe your own toilet.
