What customers say
This campsite offers spacious, peaceful pitches with a friendly, accommodating owner named Val. Facilities are generally clean, with electric hook-ups available. It's well-located for exploring the area, with a village and pub within walking distance. While the site is praised for its quiet atmosphere and ample space, some visitors noted that the toilet and shower facilities are basic and could be improved, particularly regarding capacity and consistent availability of essentials like toilet roll and soap.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely and friendly host (Val), loads of space, toilet and shower facilities were basic but clean and well kept, lots of walks roundabout, excellent value for money and dog friendly.
Disliked Not the campsite's fault but was hard to get a meal in the village for Mon/Tues, so car required to travel further afield for food. Worth bearing in mind.
