What customers say
This is a peaceful, back-to-basics campsite with friendly, welcoming hosts. Reviewers consistently praise the quiet atmosphere, lovely views, and the owners' helpfulness. Facilities are described as clean and functional, though some note they are basic and suggest improvements to the number of toilets and showers, particularly for non-glamping guests. The site is noted as dog-friendly and well-maintained, with some guests finding the surrounding walks limited without a car. Easy booking and a lovely natural setting are highlighted.

Liked We took the children away for their first glamping experience and we had a great time! Comfy beds, plenty of space, useful kitchen area (which was a saver when it rained)! Friendly hosts too!
Disliked Smell of the toilets!

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely site, lots of room, friendly hosts. Enjoyed seeing planes and skydivers. Lovely countryside. Had booked a short stay nearby home to pitch our inherited tent and get used to everything. Overall had a really relaxing short stay. Nothing bad to say really! Walking shop was a brilliant idea but unfortunately didn’t bring enough cash! Bring a bit of extra cash when coming! Site itself was brilliantly priced.
Disliked Composting toilets take a bit of getting used to but fine in the end, and other guests had left the toilets in a bit of a state one night. Not the owners’ fault! Just other disrespectful guests.

Liked The host was friendly.
Disliked Not as described - no bean bags, private kitchen is shared, we were charged for logs but when we checked amenities again, we were not meant to be charged.

From the manager: I apologise that the tent and facilities were not what you were expecting. The camp kitchen is a shared resource but only for glamping customers. The campsite and glampsite has been greatly improved since the listing went live and we are extremely proud of what we have created. We work very hard to make sure everyone is happy with their stay and any issues at the time of your stay would have been resolved fully. All information about Far and Away Camping and services we provide is always sent via email ahead of check in to avoid any confusion.

Liked Lovely, peaceful campsite — would definitely stay again!
I really enjoyed my stay here and was genuinely impressed with the site. The location is lovely and it has a really peaceful, relaxed atmosphere, which is exactly what I was looking for.
One of the things I particularly appreciated was the locked entrance gate. It gave the site an extra sense of security and made me feel much more comfortable, especially at night.
The owners were absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and approachable, which really added to the overall experience. It’s clear that they take pride in the site and want people to enjoy their stay.
Overall, I loved the peace and quiet, friendly atmosphere, security and cleanliness of the site. It felt safe, relaxed and well looked after, and we would happily come back again. Definitely a campsite I'd recommend to anyone looking for a quieter, more laid-back camping experience.
