There is a toilet block with showers etc clean and tidy
A very good location for the area should you want to visit the larger towns etc
The village has a couple of pubs and small shop
The owner is more than helpful

Me and a group of friends have camped at this site before due to our parents being regular visitors and they have stayed before themselves at multiple different times. The first time we went a friend had organized everything and we stayed in a trailer tent and this time I organized it and we stayed in a large tent. Once we arrived the manager came down within an hour and collected the money. The manager was very friendly and asked if we needed anything or any help setting up or throughout the day. We then saw the manager in the morning who came over for a chat and made sure we were ok. The campsite itself is a nice quiet area and the facilities are great. There are separate toilets for male and female and both have 2 showers in along with a family room with disabled access with a toilet and shower in. We all enjoyed our time and the local campers were also very friendly. We had no trouble what so ever and will definitely be camping there again. The price cannot be beaten and no membership is needed. Thanks a lot :)

I spent two nights here and found it delightfully quiet and restful. Located at the end of a farm track there is no passing traffic to create noise. The site is one large field with the toilets and showers at the top. It is a gradually downhill sloping field with a small fish pond at the bottom.
The facilities are basic as described by others but they are clean and if you have camped in France you will find them luxurious by comparison. The chem toilet disposal has not changed since previous reviews. There are plenty of hook ups and water taps around the site but only one disposal site near the toilets so if you are camping at the bottom Its a hike.
Location is only 2 miles from burton town centre but in the heart of the country, Rolleston itself is a delightful village with decent pubs and small shops even a proper butcher. Now some will complain about the facilities here but if you have your own or you aren't bothered its a cracking little spot. Take the time to talk to the owner, he's a lovely chap very friendly-salt of the earth.
Also only 10 pounds per night including hook ups!

We thought this was a very strange site, the facilities are still a 'work in progress', we got the impression that the work hadn't been going on for very long, but now we are not so sure! Also the fishing lakes are full of rubbish and would be a hazard for children. That said, the owner is a very friendly man who will welcome you and then leave you alone.
It's a very open site; you drive straight onto it at the end of the lane (which is rather potholed so go slowly). The top of the field is flat, but we were on a slight slope and had to use chocks. There are wide ranging views over Burton, which has plenty of shops including TK Maxx and a decent Sainsbury.
It's easy to get to everywhere as it's near the A38 and A50, so would make an good overnighter. £10 per night is fair enough.

My partner, two friends and I visited cross farm for the weekend, we arrived Friday and left Sunday, we could arrive and leave when we wanted which was good for us.
The pitch was good size and the ground was firm although it did rain a bit it was never sludgy and the grass could do with a cut. We had electric hook up and cost was good at 20 per night as we had two tents, one of which was very large.
We picked cross farm as it was only about a half hour drive (21miles) from alton towers. There are also supermarkets close enough to the site (4 miles). The owner came down when we arrived and he was friendly and we could choose our pitch.
The only downside was the toilets and shower, they were always clean and never busy during our stay but could do with more than one lady's toilet and shower. The mens were bigger and did have more than one shower and toilet, also they could both do with some modernising.
This is a basic site but quiet and I think we would return if we was going back to alton towers.

This campsite was very useful on arrival were greeted by a lady that lives there in a static she was very polite,the owner turned up later also very helpful and helped occasionally.
The facilities are reasonable and the showers good especially the control which was preset temperature good hot water for washing dishes outside facilities,
The toilets are good,
I was pitched by the campsite road not recommended as the ground is hard, lower down ok
The location 2 mile from burton shopping centre
Good for the brewery tour and canal boats no hire anymore,
There is many pubs which are good landmarks for
Getting about,p.S.Best bitter in burton on trent
Try Martsons,the nearest shop to the campsite at cross farm is half an hour walk or 5mins if you have wheels and a pub close by the spread eagle a bit pricey its a-la-carte menu overall
A good visit all without a satnav from the Isle of Man.

We picked this campsite because it was near to Alton Towers (half hour drive away). The camp site is a basic site, open to caravans and tents and open all year round. When we visited it was in the school holidays during June and the weather was glorious. To our surprise the campsite was not busy and we had much of the site to ourselves.
The site is a large open field with plenty of space. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We could pitch our tent anywhere we wanted and there was loads of space for the kids to play. There were plenty of electric hook ups.
The toilet/shower block was not quite finished but perfectly usable which has been done to a good standard. The is also a sink for washing pots etc. We were charged £10 per night. The site is a short distance from most conveniences. The site is difficult to find so make sure you check the route prior to setting off.

This site is nice to relax. There is only 1 slide and 1 swing for children. There is a fishing lake being constructed at the present so keep the little ones away.
The shower block is not bad but Dave the owner has still got a lot to do to finish it. There are people living on the site and seem to be permanent which is a bit off putting.
For ten pounds a night it's not bad. We found derby and burton in easy reach and very good for the shops and a bite to eat

We have visited this site quite a few times now and every time the site gets better and better, the owners philosophy is that camping holidays should be cheap and not pay extra for a dog and an awning and this that and the other, a philosophy he should be highly commended for.
There are various water points around the site so wherever you are you won't be far away from one, the same applies to hook ups. There is the original single flush toilet as well as the new, ever developing shower block, this is under construction still although the family wet room and toilet is fully functioning for now.
The CDP and waste water point are next to each other by the original toilet. It can get windy there because of its location but there are good views towards burton upon trent. The location makes it an ideal site for alton towers, drayton manor, burton brewery tours and uttoxeter racecourse visits.
Facilities for the children include small swings, slides, bikes and scooters that the owner leaves out for the children to use.There are also 2 goalnets for football and ball games are not allowed around the units but have to be played by these nets lower down the field.
In the nearby village there is a co-op, newsagents and butchers, within a couple of miles there is a small sainsburys local and an amazing chip shop (wiggeston St) There are a few pubs nearby but not what I would call walking distance.
All in all this site is ever improving with extensive landscaping going on which will make this great site outstanding in the years to come. We will continue to go and highly recommend it especially for the peace and feelgood factor.

The site is one that is obviously under construction. The toilet block comprises of a family room (toilet, shower, sink all in one) with another toilet in a plastic shed. The main toilet is clean until someone with muddy boots walks all around with out using the mop provided!
The site itself is on a hillside - so can be very windy (putting the awning up we tore it with the wind - but after that afternoon it calmed down). It is not a horrendous slope but chocks will be needed.
Only 10 mins away from Burton and 35 from Birmingham itself.Sainsburys local 5 mins away.
Downside is wasps.There were hundreds of them.We could not even sit outside in a morning with a coffee without being pestered. In his defense the farmer admitted there were more than usual but he could not locate nests on his property.
We arrived on a thursday and by monday the bins were overflowing adding to the wasp problem.We left monday after lunch and all the bins were still full.
We have been caravanning for 3 yrs only admittedly.But this is the first time that we ( 2 adults and 2 kids) have wanted to leave a site early.We were due to stay until tuesday but left monday morning.
I have no doubt that another year will see more improvement.But at the cost per night it is a bargain anyways. We will go back but will leave it a year or two to see how it changes.
