What customers say
This is a spacious, laid-back campsite in a beautiful location with stunning views of The Roaches. Pitches are plentiful, and visitors appreciate the freedom to choose their own spot. Facilities are basic but generally clean and well-maintained. The on-site pizza van and option to hire fire pits are popular additions. The site is praised for its friendly staff and good value. Some minor issues include limited toilet and shower facilities during busy periods and occasional road noise.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great site in a beautiful area
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Nice well kept tidy site with great views. Relaxed atmosphere pick your own spot put up your tent and enjoy camping as it should be and used to be. Three field's you choose it's that simple.
Owners come around and see if all is ok and offer firepits for use in the evening. Facilities are clean and presentable with the shower costing £1 for five minutes. The showers are large enough and provide a good hot powerful shower with ample time.
Possibly a good idea as this generates a fair time for all as some sites I've waited half an hour for some people.
The site is relatively flat with short grass and pitching was easy in the ground for a large tent.
Nice to have quite after 10pm every tent seemed to respect on our visit.
Great area for walking climbing etc and close enough to get to leek for provisions being just a few minutes by car
No mod cons but that's how it should be (reconnect to nature)
Nice to see a few red kites around the area
Disliked Nothing

This was our first time camping…
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked This was our first time camping and just 30mins from home what a little gem we found. From the moment you get there and see that view you just feel relaxed. You choose your own pitch and have 3 fields to choose from all within walking distance to toilets and showers which were very clean and toiets well stocked with toilet paper. We pitched up on the middle field right in front of the view of the roaches. Our 2 dogs had 10m leads and didn't even come close to anyone else's tents or campers so you have plenty of room. If you have kids there's plenty of space for them to play. Yesterday was really hot so we didn't go walking with the dogs but being local tittesworth reservoir is a stones throw away and is lovely to walk around and there's also The Three Horseshoes pub a 5 min walk away for a nice drink and food (we didn't go but again, being local I know the pub has always had a solid reputation and is lovely outside too when the weather's nice). There was nothing we disliked about this camping spot and will definitely be returning. 10/10. Keep doing what you're doing 😊. We paid £22 for 1 night (£18 pitch and £2 per dog) and we would have paid that just for the view.
P.s for anyone moaning about not having hot water to wash up with, it takes 2mins to boil a kettle. You're not at the ritz you're camping get over it and enjoy the experience 😊

Liked The freedom of choices for pitches, the view from the campsite. The option to have a fire and the easy access to fire pits and wood/kindling (also very affordable).
Disliked More toilets would be good given the size of the site.

Liked Everything was grate, the people who run it are very friendly. The fire wood was a reasonable price and the toilet/shower facilities were kept at a good standard.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Field was spacious and pitches were nice and even.. Food van was great but a little pricey, toilets were clean and accessible.. Because there was no electricity we had no issues using the local pub up the road Three horse shoes to charge phones etc.. which offered fantastic carvery for just £11
Disliked nothing to dislike, but would’ve liked own fire as you have to pay for wood on site and hire the fire pit etc

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Camped at The Hollies for the 4th time this weekend. Absolutely loved it. Such a great site, beautiful weather, stunning views, great location, facilities kept clean and tidy - even on a very busy weekend, and owners very friendly. We stayed in the lower field this time, but both fields are great for camping. Lovely addition with the food van on site. Will definitely be back for a 5th visit! Got to see a few shooting stars at night in a beautiful sky.
