What customers say
This adults-only campsite boasts stunning countryside views and a peaceful atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the exceptionally friendly and accommodating host, Helen, as well as the immaculate, well-maintained facilities, including a communal barn with seating and refreshments. Pitches are spacious, and the site is ideal for relaxation. Minor points raised include occasional road noise and a desire for more shower/toilet facilities during busy periods.

Fabulous site for lightweight campers
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very amenable owner (Helen) letting us pitch up in a ehu space to get more shade. The barn...coffee and chill out area is fabulous, for light weight motorcycle campers it's a real bonus. Definitely the best set up of our motor cycle tour.
Nice welcome in queens head pub, but no food monday tues at mo.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful views, brilliant facilities and such a friendly host - they went out of their way to give us a perfect quiet pitch when I mentioned about my excitable dogs which I would ask for again as it was stunning!

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A great adults only campsite, facilities was cleaned and maintained and the barn was a great addition we used it a few times to escape the weather. The views were fantastic I recommend binoculars. Helen was friendly and helpful and told us about the nearest pub and shops.

Fantastic adult only site with great clean facilities
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked My first ever tent camping trip and going solo (with dog) I could not have wished for a better place. Very peaceful calm and relaxing and views to die for across open countryside. Wonderful sunset and sunrise and lots of choice pitches to really get the views. Pitches looked generous and didnt feel cramped and a good combination of semi hardstanding for caravans and grass for camping. I asked for some shade due to the heatwave and temps in excess of 30 deg c and having the dog and it was no problem and Helen the owner met me on arrival and showed me to a choice of pitches. I agree with many other reviews here that Helen is a diamond and she had bags of ice on hand in the fridge freezer in the converted barn / facilities /kitchen area and my dog was very grateful for the ice water! I had forgotten to bring milk and she kindly gave me some of her own supply and checked in on my progress putting up my tent for basically the first proper time. Thanks also to my neighbour in the caravan who lent me a decent air pump when the one supplied with my air tent failed. I had heard and read about the camping community and Valley View was my perfect introduction. If you are looking for a no fuss easy going stop over or a base to explore the midlands for a few days or a week it would be perfect and the facilities and being in the central barn woud be great if say the weather turned or you just wanted somewhere to sit and read on the comfy leather sofas and there were board games you could use. Cannot fault the place
