What customers say
This is a well-maintained and exceptionally clean campsite with spacious, level pitches. Guests consistently praise the modern and immaculate toilet and shower facilities, many highlighting the hot water and good water pressure. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful. The site is ideally located for walks and exploring the surrounding countryside, with a dedicated dog exercise area. On-site food options, particularly pizza and bacon sandwiches, are popular. While most guests have no dislikes, some mention occasional noise from other campers and a desire for more on-site activities for children.

Liked we love everything about this site! It is well situated with lovely walks. The people are friendly and helpful. The facilities are fantastic and so clean, having a shop is also very handy. We have been here several times and will always come back. Look forward to seeing Gary & Enid, 2 wonderful friendly bulldogs. See you soon!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Stayed at the end of March for one night. The site was understandably quiet, which was perfect. Wash up area was clean and tidy with plenty of hot water.
Showers and toilets were excellent, 50p for 10 minutes is just what is required after a days walking.
Quick and easy check in. I would definitely stay again.
