Fabulous location but overpriced and disappointing menu.
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great location with fabulous views. Pitches were nicely marked out. Showers and toilets good.
Disliked Menu was very basic and disappointing considering positive reviews on Trip Advisor from 2025. Closed on Sunday. Price wasn’t high compared with other sites with much better facilities.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, as you rightly point out we are in a great locations and the view are fabulous here
The site is under new ownership in 2026 so the reviews you read on trip advisor for last year are not relevant as many of the other reviews on here do point out so although our food offering is somewhat different so is everything else that is important on a campsite, in particular our newly refurbished facilities.

Liked Great site, stunning views.
Disliked Only 1 toilet in use.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review we are please you enjoyed our site. We are lucky to have such an amazing vista.
Unfortunately, there are times when the toilet misuse causes them to be out of order, which is not particularly pleasant for our staff to deal with 😒
There were still other toilets and urinals available for the short time it took to sort the issue then we could all go back to enjoying the more pleasant views!

Friendly, semi-wild site with excellent facilities
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked A friendly welcome. Lovely semi-wild pitch but with electricity and water close by. Wildlife - ducks and sparrows visited us most evenings with the latter actually coming inside the van! Beautiful, warm, clean facilities. Peace. Full blue moon rising orange in the sky.
Disliked Plastic flowers!
