Quiet site and ideal for our short stay. Very close and convenient to the Pilgrim Fathers pub/restaurant, 5 mins walk away. Downside, we waited at the locked gate entrance for quite a while. We rang several phone numbers but no reply to any of them. Luckily for us, a local resident camper came to our rescue. He opened the gate and told us the pass number and where the number box was situated outside the gate. He told us to wait outside the closed entrance hut. After an hour we decided to park up and plug into some electricity. This helpful chap, who'd got us through the gates, gave us a phone number to ring. A man answered and told us which plug-in to use. No member of staff ever visited us so we have no idea who the warden was. We won't be returning to this site. It was rather expensive, considering the lack of welcome.
Small, pleasant site

Nice enough site, remote enough to be quiet, close enough to town for good food and beer. Struggled to get a shower as there was only one and always seemed to be in use in the mornings. Not many tent camping pitches, seemed to be mainly statics and tourers but the usual camping camaraderie. Only other bugbear was something beeping all night for two nights that was definitely not in my tent.

This was our first camping trip as new campers and we chose this campsite due to a concert that we had booked at the local zoo. Upon entry, we were greeted by Steve as the owner was away in America. Steve was great, a lovely, friendly guy who couldn't have done more for us if he tried. He helped in every way he could, even giving us tips about the tent and the local area for food. The site itself was very disappointing. As first time campers, I was expecting the friendly and bubbly atmosphere that most campsites provide, smelling everyone's else's breakfast in the morning, being able to socialise with other campers. However, this campsite is full with semi and permanent residents. We felt awkward making any kind of noise or being outside of the tent as no one else did this and found it would be disrespectful when the site is technically their home. The patch of land we were on was so bone dry that we ended breaking or bending every tent peg we had trying to hammer them into the ground. The facilities were okay. We were told of a water pressure issue in the ladies' shower, so to use the men's, which can be awkward and the ladie's loo was leaking from the bottom, which was reported on day 2 and was still leaking when we left. Overall, it did us location wise for the concert as it was nearby but was not a pleasant camping experience for our first trip as we didn't feel welcome by the other campers/caravaners and felt like we were imposing.
