 Only one word to describe this Campsite “Grim”.
Booked our campervan in for two nights for a pitch with EHU in November at £28 per night. At this price I expect a high quality pitch.
Our hard standing pitch was small and surrounded by mud. We also discovered that a busy train line passes right through the bottom of the site which adds to the noise already generated by the nearby A1.
The facilities were disgusting and should really be condemned.
We decided that we would only stay 1 night and left early the next morning. Sadly no one available to talk to raise our concerns. Avoid!

Facilities basic but adequate but they are clean, owners are in the process of upgrading and adding more electric hook ups
Food at the pub outways everything the staff are so polite and attentive and good value food that tastes delicious.
If in the area or on the way to Scotland stop off for one night book a table and enjoy the food and hospitality
We will return again

Nice peaceful little pub site,
Toilet/shower block needs an upgrade.
They have a couple of EHUs and the place is secure (gate code)
A bit pricey for what you get.

The toilets & shower need an upgrade and MORE of the same, there is no way you can clean the shower ie no mop or squeegee, cleaning of the block was non existent or very little,
But overall the site is roomy and well kept.

Fantastic little campsite within easy distance of the A1M. Great facilities with toilets and showers. Chemical toilet disposal, grey water disposal, rubbish and recycling facilities all on-site. Electric hook-ups and hardstanding pitches.
Great view of the east coast mainline with trains passing. Little noisy but didn't bother us at all.
We will definitely be staying here again

This caravan park is a great little spot has a great pub and a lot has changed in the time we have been going.
The camp site is clean and the changes are on going. We speak to lots of others on site and they say the site is great to.
The toilet blocks are clean and the grass area's are cut often.
It's well worth a visit cheers.

Better to read this than look at my scoring, reason being, didn't stay, but went to look at site with intention of booking at a later date, and this site wont let you submit without filling in all boxes. Firstly, this site could be lovely, but at present, not yet.
On the plus side, next to lovely pub, nice food, toilets in pub of course, site itself, areas with hardstanding and electric. Good size fields too. We would want tent pitch, so need to use facilities. This is where it falls down
1 toilet pan on show in field for caravan waste, next to that metal type unit with 1 shower and toilet. Outside looks tatty but new although dusty inside. Shower needs wash.
Further small porto cabin for 2 toilets, mixed. Floor quite dirty yesterday. Yes its still out of season really, but there were 3 caravans on the field.
So, will I visit, maybe not as yet, but this site could be really nice with a bit of effort. Oh forgot, you can see motorway traffic from site, but not too noisy, and its not expensive to stay at present
