What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful, spacious experience with friendly owners, particularly Farmer Phil. Facilities, including hot showers and a kitchen with appliances, are generally considered adequate and good value, though some mention they are basic and could benefit from updating. Animal noises are expected due to the farm setting. While some found staff minimal, others praised their helpfulness and flexibility, especially for late arrivals. Issues with pitch allocation and shower water pressure have been noted.

Perfect for families and couples. Dogs are allowed too. Great location
Anonymous Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Really lovely basic site. Just a field with real toilets and showers and also a kitchen with a fridge/ freezer, microwaves, toaster and kettle. A big bonus in my opinion. My kids loved it, it was quiet even though the cows are a great alarm clock and my daughter went to see the animals every day. The two goats seem more like two pet dogs…
Perfect area for exploring the lush north coast and you can find beaches with barely any people on even in August.
Disliked The loos and showers weren’t spotless but they were clean… housed many lovely insects and creatures and that had its own charm. No issues at all.

No fuss, practical camping. Lots of nice birds and some animals too.
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked All your practical needs are covered. There's hot showers, hot water from the tap, drinking water, clean toilets, plenty of toilet roll, plenty of liquid soap, a washing machine and all in a well-lit area. I also enjoyed all the different birds I saw around the site.
Disliked I wouldn't say I had strong dislike feelings about anything but the access road is unsurfaced and a bit ropey for non 4wd vehicles.
