just knowing there are 1000 (people or camps?- eg 1000 people or 5000?) would put me off going..

New managers and the 1,000 cap might make me try again. Been there quite a few times (last time when I started this thread, not since). I think the cap used to be 800 or 900. A single extra mens loo isn't enough, but it would be much better than the sh!t fight I originally reported on. It is quite a large place. I think it's 100 acres, with 50 acres of campground.

I’m thinking about going back in a couple of weeks which should be okay seeing it won’t be school holidays or a long weekend. So I will give an update after the trip.

Maybe we could think about a Swag meet, perhaps in the New Year

Just had another week out there, so time for an update of some new details

As well as the second toilet block, they've now also got 4 permanently mounted portaloos that are kept for busy times, & also a second shower block, with 5 showers.

As we speak, they're in the process of turning the old hall into a combined office / kiosk / cafe, which will also (soon, they hope ) have a camp kitchen included! Hoping for it to be up & running this weekend, & certainly have been going flat out this last week, so fingers crossed for them.

The old office will then become a residence.

Also putting in more powered sites, which will put them up to ~40.

New managers are pretty good, so if you haven't been out for a while, it may be worth a trip. Don't go on the weekend, especially over the school holidays as it's been pretty busy then!
