Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Conned into a little late season camping by my daughter and found that Oatcroft was one of just a few local sites still open in mid-November. It turned out to be a great location and we chose a level grass pitch, accessible by car, near the top of the ridge. From over 1000ft we had stunning views of Herefordshire and across into Wales. On a Monday evening, we were the only customers, but Philip couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and he and his brother both dropped by to check that all was ok. Philip is also very knowledgeable about the local area and I enjoyed our chat. After dark, to the accompaniment of tawny owls and the odd sheep in the fields behind, we enjoyed planets, stars, a dozen Starlink satellites and a moon bright enough to cast shadows.
Disliked: Nothing. Wonderful “wild” camping exactly as described. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints (and maybe the odd tyre track!)

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: This site is worth coming here just for the view!!! The sunset, the sunrise, the clouds, the night sky!!! Perfect for a weekend away from it all. Walks starting from the field, cycle routes through pretty villages on almost traffic free little lanes. It definitely felt as close to wild camping as possible, but drinking water and the clean compost toilet added the right level of comfort.
And there is enough signal in the field to stay connected if you need to - it was good for last minute changes to my walking and cycling plans.
Super interesting chat to Philip and his dad as well. I hope to come back at some point in the not too distant future.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Absolutely everything about this site. The freedom, the views, the well kept grass to pitch on. The location, the views, and tge facilities ( enough - it’s all we need when camping) and the care of the farmer who makes sure he knows who is on his site. He was exceptionally knowledgeable about the area, made recommendations for reading and went above and beyond when it got windy by surrounding our tent with hay bales!
Disliked: Nothing. (If there are scores of 0 it’s because it is NA )

Liked: Plenty of space, peace and quiet and great views. Simple camping as stated in the description which is exactly what we were looking for.
Disliked: We didn’t really dislike but we hadn’t realised we’d have to drive through a field full of cows and then another field to access the camping field.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: We had a lovely week's wild (ish) camping in a super field with plenty of flat areas in such beautiful countryside with amazing views. It was great to be able to camp where you wanted, we were lucky to have the field to ourselves. Good access to water and a composting toilet which was clean and basic. The farmer Philip was super friendly and informative about the local area, with great advice on where to wild swim locally. Great walks straight from the campsite. Highly recommend.
