Liked: we been comming here last 3 or 4 years. been here so many times that lost count. perfect for those who loves peace and quet, hence pub is not that far away if you may need one. got stuck after rain and they even helped me out. (i only have normal car so its not best towing vehicle anyways). always clean and tidy. and orchard trees always make me feel like im in the movie scene.
Disliked: dislike not to park, but to previous visitors - we always park in same spot, and i was so disappointed when this time I found rubish left and frame around pabble water drain broken... didnt had my tools this time so couldnt fix it, just feel sorry for those who disrespect places they visit. we come here with 4 and more kids at the times and they all know how to behave, so kids enjoying them selfs isnt excuse... as i said nothing wrong with site managers and keepers, its people who visit.

Liked: I had a really lovely stay at this location. As a single mum travelling with my 10yo daughter it was as near to wild camping as I could offer. The pitch is gated with a security code so we at all times felt safe which is a huge factor in our satisfaction. The weather conditions were incredibly adverse but the staff, namely Paul made us feel very welcome and offered us a place to charge our phone which was the only gateway to the outside world. I cannot praise the staff enough at making us feel safe whilst experiencing the joy of nature at its fullest. The site is exactly what it states on the tin. No electric or toilet facilities but is a brilliant way for children to step into the realm of nature. We did 9 full days on the site and would have booked more, however the extreme wind meant that some of our tent poles were snapping. We cannot thank Paul enough for making our stay one of my daughters most treasured core memories. We met many different people during our stay and any parents considering removing internet devices from their children for an amount of time, I would wholeheartedly recommend this place. We enjoyed beautiful weather on the first weekend and my daughter made a "pirate ship" out of a trolley and formed a strong cohort of four girls for 3 whole days. We then formed an alliance with a man and his step son who were experimenting with bivvy tarpaulin tents. Please do not come to this site if you expect "mod cons" - it is a stripped back experience and should be judged as such. I have never known such rain but at the same time, we had a lovely time, its benefits will be reaped for more than the time we stayed. Thank you.

Liked: Easy access, could come and go as we needed. Great local walks. Basic, water but no loo but then priced accordingly.
Disliked: It's a gently sloping sure so you'll need chocks to be totally flat. Risk of getting stuck if it's very wet too.
