Liked: Ed & Jane are lovely campsite owners! I got a parcel delivered to the site and when it went missing, Ed was very helpful in reaching out to neighbours and getting it back for me! The campsite is gorgeous with stunning views and loads to do around!
Disliked: It was only the weather that made setting up & taking down harder, everything else was great 😊

Disliked: I booked in to car camp but when I got there I wasn’t allowed on the field due to too much rain so had to park on the car park. Wasn’t offered any discount and was still made to pay for fire wood £10 a bag. Then to rub salt into the wounds a camper van and a roof tent turned up and was allowed on the field. Not worth £20 a night plus £5 a night for the dog.

From the manager: Hi solo camper, Unfortunately we could not allow vehicles onto the hillside campsite due to excessive rain. Vehicles can not climb the terrain to get back off and become stuck. If the vehicle is a 4 wheel drive then there is not a problem and we have to make a decision accordingly. Hopefully the weather will turn soon! Our wood prices are competitive when buying one off bundles at petrol stations and bargain stores. Campers are more than welcome to 👍 Bring your own wood 👍 We supply fire pits free of charge. 👍 Free hot showers with room heater (janitorial supplies and cleaning have a cost). 👍We accept car campers, DIY conversions, small campervans. 👍Day visitors who wish to picnic, barbecue then pack up and go. The view is stunning! 👍Picnic benches available 👍 Fishing trolleys available to carry on camping equipment when vehicles inaccessible. 🙏We appreciate your comments and will be adding a Solo camper option to the booking platform which we will offer at off peak times. We keep the pitches to a max of 25 on a 7 acre hillside campsite to maintain a rustic, back to basics experience. Our fee for dogs is maintained at a low price compared to some sites. Our campers tell us we are too cheap and have paid up to £15/dog. Thanks. Ed & Jane.

Liked: Beautiful view. Showers were nice and warm.
Disliked: Given how wet it has been recently it’s unsurprising it was pretty muddy. Site is on quite a slope which provides the nice view but makes it tricky to find a pitch which isn’t sloping too much.

Liked: Lovely quiet camp site. The owners were very welcoming and nice to talk to. We chose a really good spot with a great view and used the fire pit provided to sit out late and admire the view. Toilets were clean. Was only there for one night so didn’t use the shower but they seemed fine as well. Would come back to this campsite for a nice quite weekend away again.
