This is the 3rd year we have stayed on the site and we love it. The site is in a beautiful location with plenty to do within walking distance. The indoor trampolines and play centre are fantastic if the weather isnt so good. The Wye Knot Inn and Old Court are lovely places to eat and drink. The butterfly farm and hedge maze are brilliant fun for the kids. There are also boat trips and canoe hire within a 2 minute walk. If you are in a car Monmouth is well worth a visit and also the Big Pit at Blaenavon (about a 45 minute drive from the caravan park) which is a free museum all about the history of mining (parking is £2 all day) and it is a completely brilliant day out and the drive to the Big Pit is possibly one of the most beautiful.

The site itself is in a very peaceful and scenic setting. The only thing which spoilt this is the music coming from the Amusement Arcade, it starts at about 9.30 in the morning and is not in keeping with the surroundings. 
 
We did find the Warden a bit hard to track down if we needed to ask anything. The office next to his house was never occupied so if anybody had a query there was no-one in there to ask. 
 
I would say that all in all we enjoyed our time there and will be going there again.

Hello Mr Sterrett. 
 
Just read your comments. 
 
Glad that if things were taken on board then I would then highly recommend the site, its in a ideal position, Canoe Centre within a few minutes walk and beautful country side. 
 
Hopefully we will return, but I suspect canoes will not be involved next time as my wife was non impressed with my lack of steering prowness. But the one thing that did stand out in our last stay was having 2 swan take off and fly 3 foot above our caneo. 
 
Best Regards

We stayed for 2 weeks (3 july - 17 july 2010) had a fabulous time. Our little boy (nearly 4) loved the caravan. it was clean and tidy and there is loads of storage space. When we saw the brochure we thought it was a nice tidy park but on arrival it was more than what we expected. there was amusements, gift shop, cafe, butterfly house, puzzle hedge, tea room and a fab hotel The old Court who do the best chips ever!!! everyone we met onsite were really friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Loved it and will definately be back . Thanks Sterrets!!!

Have stayed here before which was a better visit. 
 
Stayed 01st June for one night with friends, we didn't pre-book. But on arrival no sign of Warden, waited 5 minutes but decided that as we had a canoe trip booked we would go to where I had pitched last time, leave the cars and see if the Warden was around before we went on our trip. 
 
Warden was there, but straight away he came across very grumpy and incoherant. We advised where we had parked and we had a canoe trip. Straight away he said we had to see him before we should have gone on site.. I stated to him we tried but where was he. After a laborious five minutes we manged to book in, He seemed ok where we had put the vehicles. 
 
Carried on with canoe trip and got back, set up tent etc. The warden appeared and with no regard said we couldn't pitch the tent there and had to move to the field. Considering I had previously stopped there and had pitched in the same spot I was a little suprised and considering it was pretty empty did try to talk to him, the Warden simply was unapproachable. 
 
Later that evening my friends made the mistake of setting up their coal barbeque which is ground shielded and raised to protect grass. 10pm Warden suddenly turns up in his car with headlights pointed directly to us, and in no uncertain terms along the lines of either get that out or get off my site. Again pointless talking to him. Yes we appreciate that we made a mistake with the barbeque but there are much better ways to people especially customers. 
 
Since my last visit 3 years ago, the toilet block has been freshened up, for using the local canoe centre it should be the best campsite, unfortunelty the Warden ruined what was to have been a couple of days break, Originally we were thinking of staying 2 nights, thankfully we hadn't booked the second night so left the next morning. 
 
Would we go back, going to have to say it this present time NO. Can I recommend it again have to say not at this time.  
 
In 22 years of camping in the UK, France and Germany never had this sort of experince. Such a shame that a site is let down by one of its Staff.

Thank you for taking time to leave your comments but I am sorry that you did not have a good experience. I am pleased that you have visited previously and now find the site much improved. As you say, the actions of a member of staff, and not the site itself, spoilt your visit. 
 
I can only apologise that my staff spoilt your stay. I have spoken to the person concerned and he accepts that he was in the wrong and behaved badly. You agree that you sited your barbeque wrongly but that does no excuse my warden's attitude towards you. In mittigation I would add that he has been dealing with personal problems but this should not have happened.
