What customers say
This small, quiet site is praised for its friendly and helpful owners, good location, and spacious, level pitches. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues with the toilet and shower facilities, describing them as unclean, outdated, and in need of renovation. The advertised on-site pub is permanently closed, and some guests found the site to be basic and close to a busy road. Efforts to upgrade facilities are noted.

Liked Campsite wasnt overcrowded and site manager borrowed us a electric lead which was nice.
Disliked Where to start. We booked this last minute as our booking had been cancelled elsewhere due to unforeseen circumstances, so we weren't expecting much. when arriving the pub that was stated on site was a derelict building at the front. (after looking at reviews after appears this has been derelict for about 8 years) We rang the number as no reception when you arrive to be told to head down to a pitch. When we got to the pitch a man turned up and asked us what we were doing there and that we couldnt just decide what pitch we were on (fair enough but thats what we were instructed to do on the phone), the man spoke to the person on the phone and it turns out he owns the site and this man runs it. Apologies were given by the man after, but it was a strange welcome after a 2.5hr car journey.
Site was basic, no where to wash pots, shower block smelt clean but very outdated and muck and mud surrounded the shower cubicle and shower so getting ready the next morning with a baby was a nightmare. Shower temp went scolding hot and then freezing cold. No where to hang clothes in shower either. The site sits directly behind a main A road and you could hear cars flying past, this didnt bother me as much but more concerned that if there were to be any accidents on that road the speed they were going, the only thing keeping between the main road and your tent is a bush.
Left very early the next morning as nothing to do.

Electric optional grass pitch
Liked Absolutely lovely people that own this campsite always there to help if they can. A very easy campsite to find and easy to pitch up a tent no horrible rocks ! The views here are incredible all day around but especially in the morning when the sun is rising ! The toilets and showers are good. And the price is very affordable.
Disliked Absolutely nothing

Disliked Almost everything we nearly packed up and left but instead just used the place to sleep, toilet block dirty couldn’t even take a shower as disgusting, no where to wash pots pub closed down too near a busy road so noisy seemed like a lot of the people on site lived there permanently wouldn’t return the worst camp site ever stayed in to date

Would not go back
Electric optional grass pitch
Liked On a clear day the views from the site must be lovely
Disliked The site was very disappointing. Quite mucky. The semi derelict pub at the entrance does not look good. The grass needs cutting, and maybe the warden could pick up filthy customers dog poo and bags of rubbish left by the hedge.
The ladies toilets had no working locks on the cubicles, dirty toilet paper on the floor and two hand basins with cold water. One basin was supported by a concrete block with a lorry axle stand on top ! !
