Reviewer: M15hellxxx 1 review from this member

 A small campsite tucked away in Slade with lovely views of the area. A lovely warm welcome by the owner and she even helped me with my tent as I am a first time camper and didn't have a clue. Owner does the rounds to make sure everything is ok and she does a rubbish collection daily so the area is kept clean and tidy.

The site is very basic as your in a field no facilities for kids they make their own fun, which is great its nice to see kids enjoying the outdoors and not using game consoles etc. The site has no hook ups, it has portaloo toilets which are checked daily there are no showers but it does have mains water for everyday use, an Ideal site if you don't mind roughing it out and my son and nephew loved it. Lots of families were pitched up here which was great as I had peace and quiet as the boys were playing in the field and I didn't see them unless they were hungry.

The nearest shop is about a 5 minute drive away if you need any essentials.

There is a nice long walk down hill to the beach its slightly uneven in places and you do have to scale the cliff to get down onto the beach itself. Not Ideal if you have joint or back problems, I did do it but I am suffering now. (we will do anything for our kids, right?)

We only stayed one night just to try out camping and I am glad to say we did enjoy it and the weather helped as it was lovely. We will certainly be doing it again hopefully for longer and hopefully we can get to come back before the summer holidays are over.

Thank you.

From

Michelle, Jack and James.

 The season of 2012 is now coming to and end. It hasn't been one of the busiest but I suppose that is due to the weather and the Olympics, however the faithful and die hard have been out in force.

The school holidays are always our favourite as my boys have all their friends back on site with new children coming along all the time. The gaggle or feral pack of kids gets bigger and bigger every year and off they all go where they left off at the end of last season. The site becomes a haven for children doing what all children should do - have fun. There isn't a nicer sound than kids laughing and playing with no DS or play station in sight.

Jack & Harry thrive on football/rugby and other games played as well as the daring bike runs that they make. Being on the Slade beach with all their mates from the field playing in the sea, on the sand and rock pooling is their idea of heaven. Parents can relax in the knowledge that their children are being entertained and having fun free - including myself, the joys of no nagging.

The field itself survived extremely well in the wet weather with only one car having to be towed out so putting down the invisible road was definitely a good idea and it so firmly embedded now that hopefully it will continue to work.

We are once again bracing ourselves for a wet and windy winter only this year we have extra staff in the form of Tom who has now completed school and is doing his Agri Apprenticeship with us, just need to work out how to get a 16 year old out of bed at 5. 30 in the morning.

Time will soon be upon us again for the season of 2013 fingers crossed we do see a lot more sunshine then.

Many thanks to all who came camping at Eastern Slade this year and hopefully we will see you all again next season.

Reviewer: Brizzlcrew 1 review from this member

 Had another brilliant holiday at Slade again this summer. Lovely site, fantastic views and always great to catch up with Kate (the owner) and her family. A basic site, festival style portaloos, on a gentle slope, fantastic beach and by far the best site on the peninsula.

We go every summer and the kids love it too. Lots of people to talk to, friends to be made and children for our boys to play with. This place can be very chilled, relaxing and quiet but depending on when you go, can also be really buzzing, with hoards of kids running about til dark so not recommended for campers who like silence after 10pm and expect children to be seen but not heard.

Roll on Summer 2013 so we can all go play at Slade again!

 Had a superb week at this relaxing campsite. The owner is friendly and keen to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible.

Although this campsite is very much 'back to basics', I think that's what made it so special - proper camping !

The owner (and her children) collected rubbish daily and the toilets were always inspected and cleaned.

Views were amazing and other campers all friendly. Look forward to returning here in September !

Reviewer: VanGoff 3 reviews from this member

 I would agree wholeheartedly with all the other reviewers, that this is a beautifully located site with friendly owners. However, I seem to be the only one with a few niggles!

The toilets were really in a pretty bad state - blocked and smelly. We also found a a lot of dog poo close to where we had set up camp, so then we had to move to a different spot.

The campsite is also very small (3/4 acre) so you do feel a bit cramped - it's hard to find a spot with much space around it.

There were children playing noisily around our van, their football hitting the van a few times, until long after 9pm - not late by adult standards but for an exhausted 6 year old it was too much! This last fact was not of course the fault of the campsite owners but it was the last straw for us, so we only stayed one night.

I would say that this campsite would definitely not suit those who prefer a little privacy and seclusion from other campers. But we would definitely recommend the local beaches!

 We had a lovely 3 night stay at this great little site.

The weather had been wet and windy before arriving so the field was wet and with a heavy loaded up vw it was a bit tricky manoeuvring but we stayed up the top of the field near the entrance (I believe we were save this pitch) and we were fine.

It is a basic site with portaloos at the bottom end of the field which is sloping from entrance to bottom but it is not enough to cause problems.

The views are what this site is about and the friendliness of it's owners.

We would certainly return when in the area.

 Just returned from a wonderful down to earth campsite, this site does not need showers or flush toilets because it has the most wonderful views and the nicest chilled people I have ever met at a campsite, Kate and her family are helpful and welcoming,

The site is a short distance from Two beaches Slade bay and oxich, there's a nice cafe and shop at Oxwich,

We had lunch at the Oxwich Hotel and the food was excelent.

We will return to this site as it is now one of our favourite campsites

 What a lovely campsite! Small, friendly, no frills and the most beautiful location.

We found the site easily, were greeted by one of the most friendly owners you could imagine, were made to feel really welcome. We were given the choice of anywhere on the field to pitch. There is a slight slope, but it's not steep enough to cause your airbed to slide around. There were 4 chemical toilets and a stand pipe for drinking water, all of which were clean enough to use without holding one's breath.

I think the welcoming attitude of the owner must attract a lovely sort of camper, we thought all the other families there were nice people (and how often can you honestly say that about a campsite?). Kate (the owner) was really kind, she brought us a piece of aloe vera for my husband's sunburnt head, and offered to let us tumble dry soggy sleeping bags in her house after our tent leaked, all this on a busy bank holiday weekend while she had a son in bed sick and the cattle to look after!

The 10-15 min walk to Slade Bay through flowery lanes was lovely. The local beaches are some of the best in the UK, especially 3 Cliffs Bay.

This is a really special site.

 Another year over and we have an extremely long and fun filled season thanks to a very early spring and a pleasant hot spell later on. We have thoroughly enjoyed this season, it has been one of our busiest yet.

Next years diary is already filling up with regulars who want to come back and people who couldn't book this year because we were full.

Campsite Christmas in August was great fun and the kids thoroughly enjoyed those extra presents - we did get a few funny looks wearing Christmas Hats and singing carols around the campfire, with a decorated Xmas tree to set the scene.

I will remember the occasion this Christmas when we are up to our necks in cows after a 4am start. The season had a touch of sadness when we lost poor Ellie on August 2nd but I know she had a terrific time playing up the campsite with everyone, 15 years is a very good age for a 'working' dog.

Belle and Cannie really miss her and so do we. We have found a new campsite dog recruit in the way of Meg who is nearly 3 hopefully she will settle into the routine well.

Thank you to everyone who took time to write such positive reviews. We look forward to the 2012 season, welcoming back my campsite family and making new friends.

For those campers that are staying for a lengthy period or those who don't want to fill their car with food and provisions before setting off, Tesco and Sainsbury both deliver to the field. Just enter the postcode and await your supplies.

 Stayed at the campsite on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Cracking location up the road from Oxwich with stunning views.

Kate and her boys are very friendly and the place has a laid back relaxed feel.

There are chemical festival type toilets at the bottom of the field and a tap for water and that's it but for me that is the appeal - its a great location that's quiet and chilled not one of these busy loud places with loads of caravans.

The Oxwich Bay Hotel is walking distance down the hill and there are great walks around the bay and access to the coves.

A hidden gem!
