What customers say
This is a peaceful, off-grid campsite offering spacious pitches with beautiful lake views. Guests praise the quiet atmosphere, natural surroundings, and friendly owner. While currently offering limited facilities with only a water tap and portaloo, a new toilet and shower block is under construction. Some visitors noted the inconvenience of temporary facilities and the need for robust pegs due to stony ground, but many intend to return.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely beautiful location, the campsite is over looking the lake, which is huge, and full of nature. There's plenty of space to pitch up with no set locations, basically find a spot you like and off you go.
It's so peaceful (as long as you like the sound of nature).
There's only a portaloo currently available, but toilet blocks are being built which is a huge bonus. There's access to fresh water to fill up your bottles so you don't need to worry about taking lots of water with you.
I highly recommend staying here for your break from the norm.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Very generous area to camp over looking the lakes. Relatively flat, soft grass but had many rocks and gravely under the dirt layer, so do not bring cheap pegs.
Views were amazing across the lake and a public path to walk almost all around the lake (big sign saying a field was closed) but looked temporary.
There's a van that drives round and stops by the entrance and lots of checks, especially for the anglers. Clean, open and There's also a jetty if you like to have a splash. Although it doesnt state if wild swimming is allowed.
Will absolutely be back, great communication from Sally too.
Disliked The temporary toilet. The smell of the recyclable flushing water was gag inducing. Thankfully (hopefully) its only temporary and it is being used by others and the people fishing, it still worked xD

From the manager: Thanks so much for your thorough review.
We are really glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
We do understand the issues around the portable toilet and have put measures in place to try and overcome this until our toilet and shower block is complete.
We look forward to seeing you again soon
Many Thanks
