We spent a weekend here in September with our kids.
Lovely rural site. Great pub with lovely food.
Nice welcome, friendly staff.
Good size field, fairly long grass which, despite our best efforts, made it a little messy in the van - however the weather had been pretty bad in the run-up to our visit so maybe there hadn't been the chance to cut the grass for a while. Grass a little water-logged in places.
Only used the camping toilets/shower a few times, was a little messy/smelly.
Great location - close to Tattonhall ice-cream farm, candle factory and lots more.
Only real down-side, didn't like the tight entrance in and out of field - large post on one side and a half demolished breeze-block wall on the other which was hard for the driver towing to see. This made pulling out difficult, due to the sweeping right-hand bend, half demolished wall and slope. That said our van is fairly long.
Other than that nice, peaceful site, happy kids, good pub = great weekend for us.

Really enjoyed our 2 nights here. Pitches are a good size and amenities are close by. The food in the pub is fantastic between us we had steak, chicken, burgers and gammon, also stayed for a superb Sunday lunch.
Lots of atmosphere, sky TV snooker, skittle alley and great real ales. Only let down by the toilets and showers, quite shabby and toilets leak. Only one toilet and shower. If they did this block up it would truly be exceptional. Brilliant play area for kids in good sight of the pub.

We had a fab time on this site. The pub people were very friendly but like other people have commented on alas the toilet and shower facilities need updating. They were clean but cold and door left open and bugs always in there.
We went to Hampton Springs fishing a few miles away, so site was ideally situated. The overall site did need a good brush up and was a bit untidy, however we would go back again as we simply loved the site and for the price it was fab.

Very warm and helpful greeting on arrival, where you firstly visit the pub bar to book-in ( very useful if you fancy a quick pint ! ).
Very reasonable pitch prices.
Excellent rural location, and particularly good for local country walks.
Excellent pub, very welcoming, relaxing and great food ( we live approx 15 miles away, and have visited prior to finding out they had a campsite here).
Pitches are average size, some level, some slightly sloped.
Relaxed atmosphere, with no over-imposing rules.
Very family friendly.
Pet friendly.
Shower / toilet areas clean but limited in size, and could do with extending to accomodate the demand in the future.
Dishwash area needs same improvement / modernise.
All-in-all a good site, in lovely area, and with some excellent future potential as the size grows in popularity.
We will definitely visit again, and recommend to friends

We stayed on the campsite for two nights and ate in the pub on Friday night.
There is just one shower and one toilet for ladies and the same for men. We felt it was not adequate for a campsite with thirty pitches which was nearly full on the weekend we stayed.
The pub customers not staying on the site are also able to use the same toilet facilities. The toilet roll and the hand towel both ran out on the Friday afternoon and were not replenished until Saturday morning.
The toilets are so small that when opening the door you can’t help but touch the toilet bowl with your legs. There is another larger disabled toilet but the light bulb was not working in that for the duration of our stay.
To walk to the facilities you have to walk past the bin area with a foul smell.
The campsite ground is fairly bumpy and the pitches are very close to each other.
The children's play area is by the pub well away from view of the campsite so not ideal for relaxing at your pitch while the kids play on the play equipment.
The only positives were the good food served in the pub and the excellent walks surrounding the campsite. Would not however stay again due to the poor facilities.

Some reviewers have commented on the relaxed nature of this site, the only regulation being that cars must be left in the car park after unloading. Well in theory this is a rule, as it clearly says so on the gate. Unfortunately when the gate is open you don't notice this, so to be charitable I'll assume that is why I counted no fewer than 20 cars on the site, next to tents and caravans. In itself this is no problem, except that it does take up space, and leaves a feeling of overcrowding.
As others have said, the facilities are minimal, and I gave up attempting to have a shower as it seemed to be continuously occupied. Also the paper towel dispenser in the gents was empty most of the time - although there seemed to be no shortage of used paper towels on the floor, as the bin was seldom emptied.
The pub owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful - and the shop is a big bonus - but we did get the feeling that they were trying to do too much with limited manpower, which probably explains the generally dirty state of the toilets.
A big plus point - if you have children - is that this is a very child friendly place. If you don't, it's probably best avoided, as even without the antisocial neighbours, it is pretty noisy most of the time.
Although it's such lovely walking country that it might be worth putting up with it as it's in such a lovely location.
