Our go to site.

The Crown at Mickleton CL
Our go to site, never disappoints. Large pitches, fully serviced, gorgeous views. Feel close to nature, dark skies great walks. The Crown is closed but watch out for pop up Crown Outdoor events in the lovely garden. The Blacksmiths Arms is close by good pizzas. Love this site.

light pollution

The Crown at Mickleton CL
great site.the most spacious I have come across. cannot comment on toilets etc as didn't use them. adjacent to village with walks and a pub, the blacksmith's arms (no idea why or for how long the Crown inn is closed for). the only let down was the floodlight shining all night. I expect I am not alone, being someone that enjoys stargazing in the dark skies of the countryside but the floodlight spoils this. it stayed on all night and although the sky was clear was unable to view. at least turn it off at 11. £30 is pricey, esp with no wifi, but if people are willing to pay for the above then charge them. supply and demand.

Disappointed

The Crown at Mickleton CL
We have been regular visitors to this CL since it opened. We enjoy the local walks and the pub. It has now increased its price by 25% with no improvement in facilities. Still only one toilet. There is no Motor home waste disposal point and no WiFi on site. What has really annoyed us is the fact they have put an extra Motor home on the site which is clearly only regestired as a CL for 5 pitches, two motorhomes are sharing one pitch tonight which has happened in the past. Not sure if we'll return.

Christmas time visit

The Crown at Mickleton CL
Just returned from this site 30/12/2019 , could not fault any practical aspects of the facility , location and excellent time we had . There is a great pub in the village called The Blacksmiths Arms very friendly which is more than I can say regarding the Crown , where the manager really needs to attend a customer relations course . No information was given to us other than a card for the password to shower room all other exchanges were as if we were something on her shoe Food quality in her pub was excellent put the price very expensive . Eat elsewhere on the Sunday Despite the great location would never go again and the low mark is entirely self inflicted otherwise it would have been 100% 5 stars

Great site but you need to be aware of its limitations.

The Crown at Mickleton CL
Let's be clear this is a very good well maintained CL with large well serviced hardstanding pitches st in a lovely location supported by a warm welcome. It's what you might be expecting but is not available you need to be aware of. Electric hookup is on every pitch BUT only 10amp which in my opinion is not made clear enough on the site information. There was no WiFi available on the site (nor any sign of antenna for it) during our stay. It was available inside the Crown when open which brings me too my last niggle Winter opening hours were in force during our stay and apply from 1st September to 31st May, are 11am to close (food served 11am till 9pm) Thursday to Saturday and 12 till close (food from 12pm till 4pm) on Sundays and Bank HHolidays. It is very popular so if you wish to eat in the Crown my advice would be to book well before your arrival date. If the lack of wifi, 10amp electrics and reduced pub opening are not an issue for you it's great site.
