What customers say
This spacious, back-to-basics campsite offers a peaceful, 'near-wild' experience with plenty of room and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors praised the friendly staff, hot showers, and the option for campfires. While many enjoyed the natural setting and quiet, some noted that many pitches are on slopes and a few mentioned occasional plane noise. Compost toilets are present, with mixed feedback on their cleanliness and usage.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great having the open fire on the ground, great hosts, excellent location.
Disliked Very difficult to find level ground (I didn't) so you'll be sleeping on a slight slope.

No music policy! Large site, roomy, simple facilities.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked No music policy! It takes away so much stress knowing that you’re not going to be subjected to other people’s music or radio. Lovely staff. Campfires possible and firewood to buy and this is always a plus.
Disliked Nothing we disliked. We ended up up on a bit of a slope but we didn’t arrive til around 5pm and there are plenty of flatter pitches. We were there just for a night so this was fine. There were compost toilets which is fine - but they are often built really small! And are a bit of a squeeze. I’m a normal sized woman and it was a bit tight. My husband found it really tight!

Liked The area, the size of the campsite
Disliked Most pitches on a slope of sorts. Compost toilets not normal ones. Kept awake by a noisy party in a house nearby (not the campsites fault, but contributed to a rubbish sleep)

Nice site, well run, questionable flatness for a campsite.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The “vibe” lots of friendly campers and families with young children.
Not over crowded, friendly, helpful staff.
Nice warm showers.
Good provision of fresh water + toilets in many places.
Disliked I’ve seen compost toilets run better (be used better) - I think maybe signage / education could help here. The staff were in obvious, regular attendance of the toilets.
The site is very hilly / lacks many level spots. We were lucky to find a mostly level pitch.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely setting with lots of space and woods for the children to play.
Disliked There was no obvious place to recycle things, so everything had to go in the bin, which wasn't great. The site is also under the Gatwick flight path, so it's pretty noisy with planes from about 4am. The site is very hilly with level places to pitch very few and far between.

Well recommended.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked All great.
Very spacious pitches with loads of free space between tents.
You have nearly wild camping experience.
Owners don't bother you every few minutes either, so you have loads of privacy.
Disliked Some pitches are on little slopes, so slipping can be challenging if you position your tent incorrectly 😜😉

Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape london.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful setting. Felt very off grid. Large campsite which meant even though there were a good number of other campers you felt like you had plenty of space.
Facilities were more than adequate - although the showers weren't hot. But this wasnt a problem since it was a heat wave!
Disliked Not very level pitches. If it gets very busy it could be difficult to find a flat spot.
