It is a field - well a grassed area - It's not however like shelsley with it's orchard trees all through the camping area - it's a raised (ie above track level) but fairly flat area overlooking the track - it's quite a long area but not that wide The grass is nice and well trimmed by mowers not animals and it will be insisted that BBQ's and fire pits are kept well above ground Would it be suitable for a folding caravan?? Yes Other points - there are proper brick built toilets at one end with a large hard standing area in front of them - we will be siting showers and a power source there. |

If by better it means that you can fall out of the tent after a good Friday night and cook breakfast, drink coffee watching the quick 60 track activity  |

Is that along the back side behind Stebbe straight, Edwinas and lake esses? |
