I have just spent 3 awful nights at this park.
The place is rundown and ill-equipped. There wasn't even a mug or teaspoon to make coffee with. I borrowed a mug off one of the permanent residents. There are at least 2 derelict buses at the park that appear to have been there for years. Most of the rest of the 'on site' caravans are green with moss etc and occupied by societys 'less fortunate' and 'down and outers'. My bunk room reeked of mildew and I wasn't surprised when a family arrived to occupy the room next to me, exclaimed loudly that the room 'stunk' and then left immediately with a full refund. My welcome by the owner was non existent. I was served by a decrepit old man who simply took my money and pointed at a faded photo of the camp to show me where my room was. He did, however, advise me to turn the outside light on if I was going to the toilet at night etc as 'it would be safer for you'. I have since learned that a convicted criminal is bailed to this park. The language around the park was hideous. The best thing about this place was the camp cat. He/she was lovely. I will never go here again unless the park is given a MAJOR overhaul and the 'hopeless and unemployed' are replaced by families having a nice holiday. I rank this park zero stars.
