Sadly not what it was !!!!

Having visited this site over a number of years we were very disappointed that the need to earn a living from the land has taken over from running a quiet little CL. The CL is just inside the farm entrance with all the farm and visitor traffic passing by, not a problem out of season but our last visit there was 6 Caravans on the CL and a further 48 pitches and Glamping pods in a field through the farm (50m from the CL) with every mix of unit but mainly campers who put enormous demand on the 4 showers and 4 toilets, sadly the new toilets they installed were of a portacabin nature and not new. There is also a Farm Stay B&B run from the farmhouse and a livery / stabling business in the barns. Out of season I'm sure this would still be a great place to stay but avoid during the school holidays and hot summer weekends. As others have noted the warm reception from Val has sadly gone as they struggle to keep all the balls in the air. I note that it has gone up again and is now £16/night which frankly makes it too expensive !!!

Getting expensive

Went to this site last year and went on the rear where the views are excellent but that is for none members and they have built pods there now. Stayed on the official CL.The view was very poor with barns, a grain silo and the toilets being our view with a small gap to the open country. The CL would be very quiet and peaceful at certain times of the year and was during the week but at weekend the non CL site gets packed (there were 30-40 tents and vans there) and the toilets and showers are shared between the cl and the non cl. There was a lot of noise from someone riding a motor bike , and on the Saturday low flying planes, non stop from a field more or less next door. The site was £12 last year with ehu and toilets and showers but has now gone up to £14. We parked infront of the hedge and were inundated with earwigs. The site is flat. It will be our last visit.

Good site shame about the welcome

Unfortunately we got the impression that Mrs Southerland did not have any time for us and we were just left to be shown round by one of the campers which was fine as she was running late but there was no further communication. She runs a very busy operation but is not very welcoming. Such a shame as the area and facilities of the site are very good

England Expects!

The location of this CL is a haven for 'Nelson' admirers. Situated 1mile past The Lord Nelson pub in Burnham Thorpe with single lane approach road. Quite isolated and quiet. The site itself is lawned, with some limited HS available just off the CL. Showers, toilets are available and recycling is very good. The Lord Nelson pub is 10 minute walk away and a must for Nelson aficionados - but it is a shame it does not do more to sell itself. The food is excellent. Across the road is the church where Nelson was christened and his father worked as the rector. Lots of history here. Overall: Nice tidy site, nice views and yes, we would re visit if in the area. Thank you.
