What customers say
This spacious and well-maintained campsite offers a peaceful retreat in beautiful surroundings. Visitors praised the reservoir for swimming and paddleboarding, ample space between pitches, and the tranquil atmosphere. Friendly hosts and a nearby pub were frequently mentioned highlights. While facilities are basic, with bucket showers and portaloos, many found them adequate and clean, though some noted minor issues like slow shower heads and a lack of crockery washing facilities or bins. The site is ideal for those seeking a back-to-nature experience.

Tennis Wells non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked the views / not crowed / the simplicity / the local pub / the lake or reservoir and surprisingly the buck shower, although they need to clean out the shower heads as it runs very slowly. And pleanty of space.....
Disliked none really except shower heads but that was very minor

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we're now thinking about a mesh top to the bucket shower to stop the leaves falling in!
Lovely campsite but expensive for minimal facilities.
