Birchington Vale Holiday Park

This is our 2nd stay here. We've always had good clean caravans. Check-in is a doddle. We ate in the restaurant last night and the food was very good. They have 4 slot machine but sadly lost what I had allocated myself so no more play for me. Also 2 yrs ago they had an atm, but they have removed it. That's disappointing and they also no longer do cash back. That can prove difficult, especially if limited transport is available to some people. There is bingo nightly for those that like to play and kids entertainment daily too. Seems to be a welll organised site

We three couples booked an 8 berth caravan for another of our Carry On Glamping weekends. The campsite was easy to find despite the narrow, winding country lanes on final approach from both directions. I know there's nothing they can do about that but worth being prepared for it, you haven't gone the wrong way!! We arrived early so waited in the bar until check in time at 4pm. Apparently this was their opening weekend after the winter close down. It's a nice, clean, bar area with plenty of tables and chairs and room in between so you're not sat on top of anyone plus there are various games machines and pool tables. There's a whole games arcade in the adjacent area if needed. We were in TR26, a brand new caravan and we were the first occupants. All in all a very nice caravan with a decent sized double bedroom and two twin bedrooms plus the sofas can be used as beds making up the 8 berths. Wifey and I had one of the twins and noticed how narrow the gap between the beds was compared to our previous stays at Park Homes and other holiday park companies' sites and it's not as if it was to accommodate wider beds. The toilet/shower room was a decent size but the separate toilet and sink room was tiny. None of us are large people but we all had to step in up to the loo, carefully turn round in the space to close the door and use the loo and sink. I noticed that the boiler cupboard was alongside the loo which drastically reduced the room in there. In previous caravans the boiler was either in the kitchen or in a cupboard in the hallway. That said the boiler was very effective with a quick heat up for hot water and easily powered the toasty heating system. The kitchen was well equipped and the sitting area had a decent sized TV too. All in all a great caravan which was let down by the constant buzzing from the huge pylon about 10feet away caused by the misty weather and the strobing street light outside the lounge bay window. Another note was that as the caravan had clearly just been positioned on it's pitch, judging by the fresh scrape marks on the concrete approach, they had not fitted the skirt around it nor constructed the raised walkways they tend to have which did make it look a bit unprepared from the outside but this was immediately forgotten once inside. We didn't eat at the restaurant but had a great night in the clubhouse on Saturday night. Wifey even sang with the band!! We went for a long walk to Missin Bay on Sunday and the narrow approach roads which are quite busy with traffic did cause some concern. As I was advised, if you want to go off park you're best driving. I did notice the pods but didn't get a chance to have a look as they all seemed busy. Overall a great weekend but we will look for more beach accessible sites in future.

Had a weekend stay here with the family, we loved swimming and crazy golf but biggest shout out goes to ParkStar Liam for his excellent entertainment. My daughter loved the Krazy Crew and Liam made our weekend away feel like a real break away with memories made.

Lovely staff, pods look lovely, but not really child/buggy friendly, toilets pretty far from pod, toilet blocks not clean, pool very bumpy, not great for kids with sensory issues or in with baby, one of the pods we had wasn't made ready for the stay. Unfortunately inconsiderate neighbours too.
