What customers say
This adult-only campsite offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Pitches are well-maintained and spacious, with a friendly and helpful owner. Facilities are basic but clean, featuring hot showers. The location is ideal for walks and boasts a highly-rated pub within a short walking distance. While generally quiet, some visitors noted occasional noise from farm machinery or aircraft. The site provides a good value, back-to-basics camping experience.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely little campsite, probably 20 pitches in total. Really quiet and chilled out with good views around. Didn't go to the pub Crowdecote as it was closed on the days I visited but went to the one in Longor about 20 mins walk away and it was great. Clean toilets and showers. Multiple walks direct from the site.
Highly recommend if looking for a quiet and peaceful site.

Lovely well maintained site with good facilities and stunning views.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The site is in a beautiful setting on a working farm. Steve the owner was very friendly and helpful, and has obviously put a lot of love into creating a wonderful camping experience. The grass was freshly cut and the pitches are fairly level and clearly marked out. The toilet and shower block is obviously kept very clean and well maintained. And the best thing of all is no children are allowed, so the only real noise is from the livestock in the adjoining fields. The nearby pub is a short walk and does good traditional pub food at good value prices. We will definitely be staying again in future.
Disliked Nothing. Can't fault it.

Great site, managed well
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (maximum 7 metres)
Liked Nice well set out site. Flat pitches that are well kept. Facilities are kept clean, two toilets and two showers are adequate for quiet times but in busy times there are queues, (would be useful to increase the number of toilets), Steve maintains the site well and is always on hand to help.with any issues.

Still worth it
Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch (maximum 7 metres)
Liked Nice welcome, fantastic views.
Good facilities
Disliked Rules make you feel like you are the problem. Most people I know who visit sites stick to the rules without the need for sarcastic notices treating everyone like crazy teenagers. A quote from one of our fellow campers summed it up " In France the notices tell you everything you can do, This site tells you everything you can't do. "
He had a point.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked This is a lovely quiet campsite. Owner very welcoming - we were able to choose our pitch. Facilities were clean. Pub within five minute walk and nice little village 20 mins walk away with cafe, general store pub and chip shop.

Lovely little site, friendly staff
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely little site with laid back and helpful owners. Very easy to locate too.
The facilities are basic rather than fancy or aesthetic but they are clean, functional and well stocked.
The pitches are a good size so you don't feel like you are on your neighbours lap - some pitches are on a bit of a slope so I would definitely recommend levelling ramps if you are in a camper.
Disliked Aircraft and late night tractor noise.
We received an apology the morning after about the aircrafts and assurance that this was not usual. We were only there one night though so can't comment further. It would not stop us returning :)
