What customers say
This is a spacious and peaceful campsite on an active farm, with friendly and welcoming owner, Farmer Phil. Facilities include hot showers, fridge, freezer, microwave and kettle. Visitors appreciate the quiet atmosphere, dark skies for stargazing, and the presence of farm animals, particularly the goats. Some reviews note that the shower/toilet block is basic and could benefit from modernisation or improved organisation, and on busy occasions water pressure can be affected. The unpaved access road may pose a challenge for non-4WD vehicles. Despite minor points for improvement, many guests highly recommend the site and plan to return.

Enjoyed our stay but could be improved
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Nice big open field. Very quiet. Good location for access to local towns. Animals in their fields was lovely to see. Owner was friendly and happy for you to meet animals (especially the two goats!).
Disliked Shower/toilet block was sub standard. Only 1 washing up sink within the same block. Bins in the same room. I commend the DIY project but it’s not really enough for a paying campsite. Usually a separate toilet and utilities area is a standard so maybe an improvement for next season.

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.
