We usually stay here and although it may not be everyones cup of tea we like it. The surrounding trees and landscape is nice and I find it is quite peaceful. I like it that there are other friendly campers around and that helps to make you feel safer.

Was a great place to stay. Felt safe with the guys in cars very helpful and considerate will be back.

Ranking: 1/10
Felt very unsafe here as there are people living in tents full time at the site. Good toilets but just a scary place to stay, we left in the middle of the night due to loud music, drinking and yelling.

good place to stay a night.
toilets clean enough, but closed at night.
3min walk next to the sports field.
plenty places left, even in summer.

some dodgy cars and people around,

It’s a big carpark next to a sports oval and athletics track. There are toilets in the aths clubhouse, but the gate gets locked at night. It was reasonably quiet but pretty sure we saw a drug deal take place! There were a few other campervans staying there too.
