Went for a comedy event, the site was good with a selection of food and drink, unfortunately there was very little comedy on offer in the show on the 3rd December 2023. Left during the third act which was the second of two talkers
Brilliant camp site with good facilities, we attended a Pagan celebration for the weekend as the campsite is large enough for big events. The pitches are flat and well spread out with plenty of EHU points as well as grass off grid pitches.
First time away with our Caravan and we have just returned from a fantastic week at Upton Barns. The site is nice and clean and the staff who work there are friendly and do a great job. We met some lovely people there who were also staying and will definitely be returning and hoping to see them again. Certainly worth a visit and don’t forget your fishing rods! ???? ???? ????
Great camping, with relaxed vibe... generally used for families and fishermen as there is a fishing lake
Great evening venue, with various entertainment, including a comedy night once a month... THE BARNYARD COMEDY CLUB
Well, what can I say, I try not to be negative in reviews but can’t help myself. The basic ingredients are there… friendly staff, efficient and accommodating, level pitches, EHU, drinking water, activities field, dog walking field, fishing lake, cafe up the road (some days) pub a 20 minute safe walk away lovely. BUT…..
So many rules! Signs everywhere, don’t do this, must do that. If you walk your dog on the field you must go the right way around, visitors must pay to get in (really!). Felt like I was in a correctional facility at times.
AND THEN…
The toilet block… The facility is cheaply constructed and maintained in a rather dark and out of the way old brick out building. Such a disappointment for a medium sized £35 a night site. Clean thankfully (hopefully), but paint missing from doors and slipshod wall coverings while one urinal tray, 2 showers and 2 toilets for all the men on the site is woefully inadequate… not even a toilet brush in one of the cubicles (are we supposed to share?) so you can imagine the rest.
There is an Elsan point but it’s about as far away from the majority of pitches as possible and not accessible by a motorhome, and nowhere advertised on the leaflet handed out to show where grey water can be disposed.
Ramshackle is not an unfair description of the whole site. Dilapidated outbuildings, piles of pallets and various bits of machinery lying around with an adjacent compound full of weeds and algae covered caravans. It’s the cost that makes me so negative. For £35 a night my expectations were much higher. There’s one last thing, another rule, use more than 10kw of electric a day and you get billed at an undisclosed rate, but quite how that will be measured baffles me. I will not be back.
Love this place. Well set up. Activity fields means children are playing away from tents and vans. Great midweek deal , fishing lake. Walks nearby pool was closed and being refurbished during my visit.
Stayed a night here as part of a motorcycle weekend away with mates. 5 camped and myself and 8 others used the B+B. They could not of made us feel more welcome. They have their own bar and restaurant and their prices are very reasonable. Evening meal was excellent, as was the huge breakfast. Definitely going back there
