Reviews
Really nice campsite overall, great for a stopover
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Really clean toilets, lovely owner, very relaxed, great view.
Disliked Didn’t realise it would be so close to the road, the road was quiet so not a major issue. The field was quite small, lovely when we got there as we were on our own but as people started to arrive it really filled up and we ended up with people right next to us on either side.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Was walking the LimeStone way. This place was perfectly located only a short 5 minute quiet detour off the trail.
Nice distance from Castelton for a through hike. We hiked 22km here and stayed on Saturday, and then the remaining 8km to Castelton on Sunday.
Nice amount of walking for a Sunday, plenty of time for lunch and pints at the pub, before getting train home!
