Hobby Wood non-electric grass tent pitch (no private bathroom amenities)
Liked: The site is in a relitivley remote but beautiful location. Facilities are fantastic and clean. Warm showers are always a bonus! Wadhing up facilities were great with provided sponges and cleaning products. My son enjoyed playing in the stream at the bottom of the site where we found a trout! We had one of the fire pits and logs (£10) which was ample for the evening. Shirley was very accomodating. She gave us a lift once we had packed up to the car park at the top of the hill. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitley stay again!

Liked: As a family we love camping here. The campsite is always clean and very well maintained. Shirley is an amazing host, she is friendly and great at communicating with us. The kids always look forward to coming here and don't want to camp anywhere else. They always say 'we're home' when we arrive. The campsite has flushing toilets and showers. The views are spectacular, especially late at night when the cloud clears up, you can see the edge of the milky way.

Liked: Really lovely quiet campsite with a family feel by a river. The owner was great and even gave us a lift with the gear down to the pitch on her off road vehicle. The facilities were basic but clean and the site was not too crowded with plenty of space between tents. The kids all seemed to make friends and were playing with each other.
Disliked: A little hard to find the campsite.

Liked: Stunning location and well kept site.
No dogs or cars - safe. Lovely to go somewhere that isn’t dominated by dogs!
The owners kindly help out with getting your things up to the car park.
Good communication from owner.
Just the right amount of facilities- all spotlessly clean.
Friendly accommodating owners.
Stream running through the site. Good space between pitches, space to run around and play.
Loads of wildlife. So tranquil sitting outside with a beer and campfire watching everything. We saw a deer on the way up there.
Flat pitches.
No WiFi but you can get 4g!
Fire pits very reasonably priced compared to other places.
Would definitely go back.
Disliked: Just points to note rather than criticism -
Roads are quite narrow and steep immediately around the site.
No noise curfew - reliant on people being considerate, sadly a group of 8 lads 2 pitches down from us were not considerate, played music till 1 am and talked loudly until gone 2 am. Couldn’t say anything as no curfew to refer to in the Ts&Cs.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
I am sorry you were kept awake by fellow campers, most of our campers are considerate, I always speak to large parties to ensure they keep the noise levels low & music off by 10pm. I also try to make sure families with young children are a distance away from adult/solo campers, as their requirements often differ greatly. My feedback for this weekend was that the boys bahaved well.
However I do understand with so little other noise on site any conversations/music do travel.
I hope this experience does not stop you from visiting again, we would love you to call again & enjoy our usually peaceful site.
