What customers say
Guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, the peaceful atmosphere, and the spacious pitches. Activities like calf cuddling are a highlight for children. While the site is described as basic, many appreciate this charm. Some reviews mention that the two portaloos became unmanageable when the site was busy, and that rubbish disposal could be an issue. Some guests would welcome showers.

Family Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The owners and their family were so friendly and checked in with all the visitors on a regular basis. Such a lovely feel to the place, relaxed and family friendly, all the children making friends and playing on the park together. Food van was lovely to have a late pizza and ice cream in the day. We can’t wait to return.

Really liked this campsite! Very friendly…
Family Field non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Really liked this campsite! Very friendly people who made the effort to speak to us and ensure we were having a good time. Can pitch up where ever is available, fires allowed, no strict quiet times, no strict rules at all on this campsite we felt very relaxed and had a great weekend. Dog friendly (lots of dogs!). We visited as a group of adults with dogs in the family campsite. Food and drinks available were reasonably priced. The pitches were close together however the site didn’t feel overcrowded or too noisy even on a bank holiday weekend. The walking trail with the river was great and very close. Would definitely return!
Disliked Toilet situation wasn’t great, there wasn’t any toilet paper when I went and it was a portaloo.

Had a lovely stay and would recommend!
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (adults only)
Liked Lovely quiet site, stayed on the adult field and plenty of room. There is a nice little walk at the end of the drive over the fields. The site had a little trailer selling pizzas, coffee and some other bits. Used it as a stopover on the way to the monsal trail as it's 20 mins away. Kids play area in the family field. Showers on site.
Disliked There are toilets on site but not the flush type on the adults field. It's just a hole with a toilet seat. There seemed to be a port a loo around on the family side though.
Recommend to friends Visit again
