Campsite Review

We decided at the beginning of the week to take a couple of days away this weekend, trying to make the most of the campervan and the predicted good weather. We thought we would keep it fairly local as one of the major hassles is the journey, we also thought we would do it as simply as possible - no awning, no table, no real cooking etc. So we booked our campsite - Polstead Touring Park - and waited for the weekend. Sadly the rain came, as it tends to with all our camping trips so departure on Friday was later than intended but we still managed to arrive by 7pm and were ready to drink a cold beer by 7.10pm, well that's simple camping for you.

Anyway, I called this 'Campsite Review', so that's what I'll do. It was immaculate, beautifully laid out, with a lot of thought gone into the overall appearance. The only minor quibble I would have is that the 3 minute walk to the pub is rather optimistic, perhaps the person who timed it is a world class athlete. Anyway, here are my marks out of 5

General ambience

*afterall, you could have a nice toilet block but bad showers, or vice versa
** to be honest a major factor in this is whether youths or children are screaming around the place
