If you have never been camping - go here; if you have been camping - go here! This place is pure paradise, the pitches are super-pitch size, and the whole place is covered in fabulous giant old yew trees and many others. The playground has so much in it that you really don't need to leave the site at all, but the website and brochure show a large trampoline, which, to my 5 year old son's disappointment, is no longer there. The wildlife is absolutely teeming, you are sung to sleep by lazy wood pigeons, serenaded during the early hours by owls ("Oh no" I hear you say). Believe me, it's better than the sounds I've heard on some sites! The peacefulness radiates through the well-lit woodland paths that lead from all areas of the site, to the washrooms that are built in converted ancient barns. The loos, showers, and everything are first class - I had plenty of room to get me and my son into the shower cubicle with all our stuff, and still had room to move. A great idea they have is to leave a mop and bucket which enables you to mop the shower after use (and before, if you are like me!!) The shop was well stocked and reasonably priced, and has lots of "Inside Park" souvenirs. The only negative things I can think of is that it was really difficult to find from the map given on the brochure, but once found, it's easy. The entrance to Inside Park shows a board stating that the place is so relaxing, you won't want to leave - this is very, very true. Top marks, I've already booked for next summer!!!
