What customers say
This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite with a natural, wild setting, ideal for stargazing and enjoying wildlife. Reviewers appreciate the quiet atmosphere, spacious and private pitches by a lake, and the allowance of fires. Basic facilities, including a clean portaloo and a hot shower, are provided. While generally well-received, some mention overgrown vegetation and challenging access tracks. There's limited phone signal.

Liked The site is very quiet with lots of space, the lake is beautiful and peaceful. The instructions were very helpful on how to find the site and the owner was incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend anyone coming for a near wild camping experience

All in all it was a nice experience with relaxation.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Went camping with my partner, and we where lucky that we had the place to our self's the second day.
The best spot is right by the lake with a short walk to the shower and toilet.
This place is a nice spot for relaxation and not much noise at all unless the farmers are about.
The only thing I suggest is to be prepared to collect and chop firewood if your making a fire.
Disliked Finding the place at night is a bit tricky by finding the campers sign and following directions.
Sara was a nice enough to pick up our phone call late at night and guide us.
I mentioned to her that it would be great to get a bigger sign so everyone can find the place easy.

Liked La tranquillité.
Près de Mottisfont.

Not bad, if the landscaping is cleaned up, I'd probably go back.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Quiet, small area, fires are allowed, clean toilet and hot water shower.
Disliked Vegetation was quite overgrown. Me and my son ended up with about 5 ticks each on us, some decent landscaping would make a world of difference. The grass was very long and the vegetation from the pond was thick and encroaching. Having designated "tent" areas would help, instead of allowing people to drive all over the grounds, making ruts when it's wet, makes it hard to find a flat area for even a small tent.
