I have been going to Treacle Valley Campsite for years and go at different times, returning 3 or more times per year! I absolutely love it there and can’t thank Alan, Trish and family enough for their hospitality. I was there during the time when the farmers were working until the early hours of the morning and I actually really enjoyed watching them work as I understand and appreciate what they do for us and I guessed it was a one off. As I return often, I have experienced some peace and quiet as well as unruly behaviour from other campers but this is not down to the campsite owners and I feel that places like Hendra are worse which is why I choose to stay local. This year there was an unfortunate incident on the site but both Alan and Trish came out to assist which I wholeheartedly give them credit for. It is a beautiful site, yes there are slopes but the views and sunsets are incredible and if you’re an old fashioned camper like myself and my family you will know how to pitch on a slope. The facilities are cleaned daily after the shop closes at midday, however if you catch Alan or Trish and urgently need something they will gladly accommodate you and open up. The shop does reopen later in the afternoon and times can vary if they’re busy with the animals. I always love my time at Treacle Valley, have made friends with other regular visitors and will definitely keep going back!! Photos from over the years including this year with the farmers working into the night!!

Firstly, I would never return to this site, on arrival it says you need to sign in at the shop/reception. I went into the shop and asked the lady if I could register, there was no hello or welcome, all she said was 'name', not a very good welcome/customer service. Secondly, Facilities were not adequate (only 4 male and 4 female showers) for the amount of people on the campsite, every morning we had to wait in a queue for a shower and to wash up. The site it's self was not managed very well, the grass was overgrown limiting the amount of places where you could pitch up, also the children's play park was full of rubbish, lost items of clothing and other children's bicycles. Lastly, it was clear that the owner/management don't not care, other camper where smoking drugs, playing loud music until late and driving around the site very fast. I tried to report this but had no luck/response. Never again and avoid at all costs!

Really wonderful stay here! Very helpful staff, lovely scenic views on the campsite, fire pits for every pitch, very cheap coffee, clean showers, phone charging, free wifi and a very quiet, peaceful sleep. If you are wanting to walk on foot to anywhere from the campsite, be prepared to walk up a very steep, long hill!
