We enjoyed our overnight stop, just what we wanted.
Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked Peace & quiet. Really friendly host & spot on site for us. We like basic, as long as there is a loo! We are happy. Was quite busy, but no disturbances from other campers. Like the 10pm quiet time, keeps things sensible. Nice pub in walking distance too.

love to visit again as it’s quite local to us with lovely scenery!
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely scenery, hosts came to check in during the evening and give ideas of what to do in the area. Pantry was a great finishing touch to the area.
I think adding a toilet block to pitch area 10/11 would be a great addition to the set up!
Disliked Group of young people arriving just before 9pm with a big speaker, they were up quite late although thankfully didn’t have their music too loud.
Some guests did not respect the toilets on site and didn’t clean up after themselves (thank god for anti bac wipes)

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The very spacious pitch size. The
attentive campsite owner Ava who checked on us several times to make sure we were ok.
The compost toilets were kept nice and clean.
The campsite vibe was really friendly.
The 12.30pm checkout time.
Disliked I was hoping to be able to park my car next to my pitch while I unloaded. It did state that cars were only allowed in the car park and I did assume this. There were pitches next to the car park and we chose one of those. I also saw others using a wheel barrow that I assume was available to borrow to help transport peoples items.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review Mark, I'm really glad you enjoyed your stay - it was lovely having you and hopefully see you again soon! Eva
A gem of a place
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked First time here. What a gem. Eva is fantastic. Arrived in 34c heat having cycled in. Eva came to introduce herself and a chat. Then offered an ice lolly. I gladly accepted.
The pitches are well distanced. Found a little shade in the tree line by the brook.
Other campers were very friendly. Making an overall pleasing experience.
On a footnote.. toilets were very clean. No unpleasant odours. With plenty of room inside. A neat little shop with an honesty book. Bring change though.
All this at a reasonable price
Disliked Nothing to dislike

From the manager: Hi Chris, thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm still very impressed with you cycling in that heat! Hopefully we can see you again on another one of your cycling trips Eva :-)
Welcome, beautiful and spacious site in rolling countryside
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked From contacting Eva to ask if we could arrive early and getting a resounding yes I knew we were heading to a welcoming site.
It was easy to find and very clear signage set out a few inclusive instructions and barrows provided made getting to the spacious, level pitch.
The no cars on site kept retained a very natural feel and with swallows, kites and swifts wheeling overhead, we quickly relaxed into the beautiful calm surroundings.
A wonderfully stocked ‘pantry’ with local honey, eggs and sweet treats was a gorgeous addition and just added to the welcome and sharing feel.
Very well presented compost toilets kept with the natural feel of the site and they were set in dry, gravelled area.
We will return as the site was so relaxing and welcoming we didn’t leave site until absolutely needing to so didn’t get to the Kelmarsh tunnels or the local pub.
Disliked That we didn’t have longer

Liked Loved how basic and back to nature this place was. Took my son on his first camping trip to show him what it was like to sleep under the stars and he absolutely loved it. Will definitely use this place again next year
Disliked There was not a single thing I disliked the people staying on the site was lovely lots of happy kids running round. Just a wholesome experience.
