What customers say
This picturesque campsite is praised for its stunning riverside location and peaceful atmosphere, offering beautiful views and direct access to walking trails. Visitors highlight the exceptional cleanliness of the portaloos and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner, Liz, who is frequently described as a superb host. While facilities are basic, with no showers, the site is considered excellent value. Minor drawbacks include the distance to facilities for some pitches and occasional noise from farm traffic. The site is highly recommended for its natural beauty and welcoming environment.

Liked I loved sleeping next to the river Esk, it was very peaceful and I've never slept so good camping :)
The campsite has a small trail which follows the river, and a place to sit by the rivers edge with beautiful views.
Very friendly working family, great prices for off grid camping with clean "honey buckets" :)
Disliked Having hardly any signal, however the peace from my phone was nice :)
