Idyllic, Peaceful & Back-to-Basics Bliss.
Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked If you're after a campsite that truly lets you switch off, soak up stunning scenery, and enjoy proper space between pitches – this is the one. From the moment of arrival, the panoramic views were breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere was exactly what was needed. With a strict no-noise policy after 10:30pm and generous space between pitches, it really delivers that remote, back-to-nature feel.
The site proudly describes itself as “back to basics”, and it absolutely delivers – in the best possible way. The portaloos were spotlessly clean, and while the showers were certainly on the cold side, they were surprisingly refreshing. It all added to the wild, outdoorsy experience.
One of the best features? The freedom to choose your own pitch – no crowding, no being crammed in – just open space, quiet surroundings, and room to spread out. Firepits are available to buy on site, and watching the little fires glowing as the sun set across the landscape was genuinely beautiful – a perfect end to a calm evening.
The site owner and staff made regular walkarounds, checking everything was in order, loos remained clean, firepits were delivered, and the peaceful vibe was maintained.
A pop-up pizza stand made an appearance during the stay – separate from the campsite itself, but a brilliant touch. The pizzas were tasty, reasonably priced, and served by someone clearly passionate about what they do. Definitely worth trying if it’s there.
Another bonus: it was easy to sit down and get some work done on a laptop with zero distractions – and the mobile signal/data was absolutely fine. It's rare to find somewhere this peaceful that still allows you to stay connected when needed.
If you're unsure about portaloos or chilly showers – don’t let that put you off visiting.
Incredible value for money when you consider what’s on offer: true peace, space, and stunning views. A hidden gem that’s already high on the list for a return visit.
Tip: Smartphone photos capture the setting well enough, but if you’ve got access to a DSLR – amateur or professional – it’s absolutely worth bringing. The landscape deserves it.
From the manager: Thanks so much for the review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us! We are so lucky we have a site like this that we can share with everyone. Hope to see you again
No frills camping at the right price.
Non-electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked A great big open field with great views and plenty of portaloos. Basic camping at a great price and in a beautiful location. Rght on the ridgeway walk.
Disliked Maybe put one set of toilets at the far end of the camping field.
From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. Hope to see you again in the future

Liked Great campsite that’s got lots of space, so you’re not cramed. Pretty peaceful and quiet around. Facilities are basic, but that’s enough for what we wanted as we camped in a van.

Liked Really peaceful, went on a Sunday on a really warm summer evening and still only around 6 people there. Basic campsite - cold showers, toilets are portaloos but clean and well-stocked. Check-in and out via text.
From the manager: Thanks Zara. We are glad you had a nice stay, it's definitely a pretty place to be at this time of year. Hope to see you again in the future
