Not as what was advertised, too many caravans and tents grouped up together. The view of the marine was heavily obstructed by abandoned construction. The site was ment to be quiet after 9pm however that's when the noise began from, guests slamming car doors, dogs barking from each end of the camp site, to music, and the awful sound of a generator powering all through the night.

No management of site. Over-crowded. Tents placed so close the guy ropes were crossing. Official guidelines recommend that tents are sited at least 6 metres apart to prevent the spread of fire. A tent will burn in seconds. No control on the noise levels from fellow campers and caravaners. Shouting both nights until 2.30/3.00 am across the site. An absolute disgrace. The owner had scant regard for the safety and proper running of the site. On-site wardens were useless, denying they were the wardens when I spoke to them about the noise and over-crowding.

This was our 2nd visit and things/standards have certainly slipped. Firstly the positives, Great location with a lovely village a short walk away. Good pubs and eateries. A local Co-op which is a bonus.

However, I will not be returning. The toilets are smelly, humid and damp due to no ventilation and general cleanliness.
The pitches are not well maintained. Very cramped and muddy, it just seemed that people where placed on every inch of available grass. Our pitch was in the children's play area. With the football and play bikes knocking our canopy down at one point. I don't mind children playing, just not at the expense of my camping equipment being damaged. The pitch was also overlooking a very ugly waste area where there is concrete slabs for foundations to a large building, so our view whilst chilling with a cuppa or glass of wine, was overgrown weeds and wire mesh seperating the construction.

I do feel this could be so much more and very disappointed, it has so much potential from its location. Sorry for the negative review hope it's taken as constructed criticism.

Lovely location next to the riverside.
Small refreshment cabin reasonably priced, lovely sandwiches.

So relaxing. Seeing all different boats. Wonderful ice cream.

Hired a boat for two hours for a family trip. Just reached York when the steering cable snapped and we were in severe difficulty trying to get safely to the bank without sinking or banging in to the bank or any other craft. The emergency number we were given turned out to be unmanned and went unanswered. We only made it back thanks to our Airbnb host who very kindly came over and managed to get us back by sitting next to the outboard motor and steering it directly by moving it. Although they apologised they later implied it was our fault for over steering and wouldn't offer a refund. We're preparing a report for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Hopefully they'll shut the place down or revoke their licence asap. In the meantime, steer clear of this place if you value your life.
