What customers say
Sunnyside Campsite offers a peaceful, rural retreat with a focus on nature and relaxation. Guests praise the friendly, welcoming hosts, the beautifully maintained, sheltered site with spacious pitches, and thoughtful touches. The on-site honesty shop, play areas for children, and proximity to a community pub are highlights. While some mention the shower facilities can be temperamental due to low water pressure, most find them adequate for the site's 'back to basics' charm.

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
We had a wonderful stay at Sunnyside Campsite. From the moment we arrived, the owner Sally was so lovely and helpful. The site itself is peaceful, open yet secluded, and beautifully sheltered with stunning views.
Facilities were spotless – clean showers and toilets – plus a little play park for children. We loved the small on-site stall with logs, biscuits, local info, and even a delicious homemade Victoria sponge cake.
We stayed as a couple with our dog, and it was perfect. Just a 7-minute walk took us to the local community pub, which was so welcoming, dog-friendly, and served great food. It even had WiFi, darts, and a large park with a football pitch next door. Staff there were just as kind and friendly.
Overall, Sunnyside is a beautiful little hidden gem – peaceful, well looked after, and with such a warm, personal touch from Sally. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked A very laid-back experience for 5 of us in 3 x motorhomes, who thoroughly enjoyed our stay for a couple of days. We even coped with all the rain/drizzle, the very 'traditional', but highly efficient, bathroom arrangements - and the free running chickens closely inspecting our every move!
