Excellent campsite- highly recommended. It's a lovely quiet site and we had a wonderful pitch next to the river. During our time there we had an issue with the caravan and staff were happy to help. The facilities are spotlessly clean. Lovely short break away and we will certainly be back.
Excellent selection of pitches by the river. Ground firm and doesn't get waterlogged. Excellent site management. The river makes a constant noise especially noticeable at night but this just adds to the charm. Toilet and showers spotless and very well maintained. Site shop has good range of foodstuffs, some beer and wine. No litter on site. Long entrance road past the cricket club. Speed bumps keeps vehicles to a low speed, safe for children. Entrance to site via barrier with key code which you are given when you check in.
We haven’t been here for years, and having just bought a Motor home, we decided to pay another visit. This campsite is brilliant, and we have a lot of memories coming here regularly with family groups, and having great times. Not much has changed, which isn’t a bad thing. The attraction coming here was Lightwater Valley being less than 3 miles away. The site has good facilities, but I do think a play park for kids would really make it a 5 Star. Everything was clean and safe. My only criticism was the water hose was far too short to be useful ,other than filling a bucket. And a no Drone flying on site. I understand kites, but drones are far more controllable.
It's a shame we've only just discovered this site nearing the end of the season. Spent 1 night in our campervan by the riverside, stunning surroundings. The amenities were spotless and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to return
Beautiful site. The staff made us feel very welcome and were super helpful with any queries we had. Everyone behaved very respectfully on site and there was no noisy parties like we have experienced on other camp sites. The beach area is fantastic for kids when the water is not fast flowing during summer. We enjoyed a nice easy walk into the village where there are 2 great pubs to enjoy a pint. We will be returning again soon. Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Sleningford !
