What customers say
This is a spacious, relaxed campsite with stunning views of The Roaches. Visitors frequently praise the friendly owners, clean basic facilities, and convenient location for walks and local pubs. The on-site pizza van is a popular addition. While most found the experience positive, some noted potential for overcrowding and basic amenities, and a few negative experiences with owners were reported. Fire pits are available for hire.

Liked Being able to park anywhere. Pizza van on site in little wooded area. Nice no frills camp site. Lovely views of The Roaches hills. Near to reservoir visitor centre and watersports (less than 5 min drive) Great pub 5 min walk away.
Disliked Showers and washing up no hot water both times.

From the manager: Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you had trouble locating the bins during your stay. Just to clarify, we do have three commercial bins located by the entrance/exit for guest use — we’ll look at adding clearer signage to avoid any confusion in future.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you still enjoyed your time with us.
Best regards,
The hollies

Clean site, very friendly and relatively level pitches.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked This was a lovely camp site, well maintained, relatively flat site. There is a cute van which is hidden in the trees that sells pizzas and breakfast bits which looks even more lovely at night with cute festival lights in-between the trees with some picnic benches. Sausage butty was v nice!! Had an enjoyable weekend even though site was busy it wasn't noisy at night with everyone respecting others. Will definitely be back!!
Disliked Would be good if there was hot water at washing up stations.

Liked Great views, clean site.
Disliked Could do with a couple of extra toilets. Site was really busy, which was great, but the wait for the toilet in the morning was a challenge for my old bladder!

Great site with brilliant facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked This site was absolutely fantastic, it was very well kept. The facilities were very clean and set in their own area so were convenient and easy to use. The on site catering was brilliant, there was a little pizza place set in its own really nice area that had a great selection of pizzas/drinks/desserts etc and the prices were very reasonable which we taken full advantage of for our evening dining. Whilst we didn’t use it, they also served breakfast which looked great also. The site is in a great area which feels in the middle of the country side but just a few minutes up the road there’s a nice pub/restaurant and a few farm type shops.
Disliked Nothing! Everything they offered was fantastic
