Great site in a lovely location, and great price!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Really nice site to stay at, plenty of parking to be able to get a good view and plenty of space to pitch up in. Amazing surroundings close by for exploring with kids or just a nice walk.
Disliked It is advertised as a wild camp site so amenities are very minimal. So you get access to a toilet and that’s it but I was fully aware so it’s not a negative for me but don’t go expecting amenities. You will need your own handwash and toilet roll as well as there isn’t any provided

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Toilets were clean and site was mostly flat enough.
Disliked Loud until late (4am). Says no groups but seems like this was ignored as there was a very obviously loud group. No where to wash dishes wasn't great, would be nice to add this.

Not even basic
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Good location,
Quite a few flat spots
Disliked I feel like providing soap/toilet paper in each toilet should be a normal and expected thing. We are still paying 20£ for the night and there were plenty of people there to earn the owners a fortune. Filling up a few dispensers is hardly a lot of work. It just made it all a bit grim and filthy. I’d rather proper wild camp.
