点评:We’ve been coming to Mac’s Farm for years as a large family group with children, and sadly we’ve watched the atmosphere change for the worse.
From the moment we arrived this year, several members of staff consistently made us feel unwelcome. We completely understand that campsites need rules and that everyone should be respectful of other campers, but it now feels like there’s no enjoyment left.
At 10:10pm, a member of staff came over and told us they had been awake since 6am, were tired, and that we needed to go to our tents. We weren’t being loud, playing music, or causing any disturbance—we were simply sitting together talking. It felt completely unnecessary and left us feeling like we were being treated as a nuisance rather than valued returning customers.
The restrictions also seem to increase every year. During an intended heatwave, we were told off for using water, despite the site having no water supply on the Friday, which was already incredibly inconvenient. There are no campfires or fire pits, no Saturday football match anymore, no music, and generally no sense that families can relax and enjoy themselves.
We’ve always respected the site, cleaned up after ourselves, and followed the rules, but the balance has shifted too far. Camping should be about making memories with family and friends, not feeling like you’re constantly worried about being told off.
It’s genuinely disappointing because this used to be one of our favourite places to camp. Unfortunately, after this experience, we’ll be looking elsewhere in the future.

今年我们一到,就有好几位工作人员让我们感觉不受欢迎。我们完全理解露营地需要规则,每个人都应该尊重其他露营者,但现在感觉已经完全失去了露营的乐趣。
晚上10点10分,一位工作人员走过来告诉我们,他们从早上6点就醒了,很累,让我们回帐篷去。我们既没有大声喧哗,也没有播放音乐,更没有造成任何干扰——我们只是坐在一起聊天而已。这完全没有必要,让我们感觉自己被当成了麻烦,而不是被当作尊贵的回头客。
而且,这些限制似乎每年都在增加。在一次计划中的热浪期间,我们因为用水而被训斥,尽管周五那天营地根本没有供水,这已经非常不方便了。这里没有篝火或篝火坑,没有周六的足球赛,没有音乐,总之,感觉不到任何一家人可以放松享受的氛围。
我们一直都很尊重营地,自觉清理垃圾,遵守规则,但现在的情况太过分了。露营应该是和家人朋友一起创造美好回忆,而不是时刻担心被责骂。
这真的令人失望,因为这里曾经是我们最喜欢的露营地之一。很遗憾,经历了这次之后,我们以后会选择其他地方露营。
