What customers say
Guests praise the friendly and helpful hosts, with many highlighting the delicious homemade pizzas and milkshakes from the on-site cafe. The campsite is described as peaceful, quiet, and clean, with new and well-maintained toilet and shower facilities. While most visitors had a positive experience, one reviewer noted an uneven entrance road and pitches, cold showers in the evening, and a lack of hot water at the pot wash sink. The manager stated they are working on improvements, including additional water taps.

Liked We loved how quiet the site was. No light pollution during the night.
The owners were superb hosts, caring and thoughtful. The cafe on site was fantastic, great coffee, tea and home made cakes. The pizza in the evening with freshly made dough was fantastic. A lovely weekend with wonderful walking and farm camping facilities which we loved.
Disliked There was nothing we disliked. Bigger campervans would struggle down the lane.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The hosts were incredibly welcoming and very proud of their site. They also championed the local area and see real potential in what their gorgeous site can become. They should also be very proud of what it already is.
The butterfly farm is well worth a look in (pre book) and the cafe on site probably has the best pizza around. Oh and the milkshakes are dangerously good.
The site itself is simple, a very slight slope but flatter than most sites I’ve stayed in and I slept very well.
The facilities are good. The lot wash station is just right and the shower block is set up in the stable building. They kept the stable aesthetic which I thought was really cool.
Disliked I didn’t dislike anything, but people read this bit and it’s worth mentioning some things.
The site is growing, currently it’s an amazing hidden spot in a county that’s a tourist hotspot. The road in is a little bumpy, that’s ok. There isn’t a pool and a karaoke night. If that’s what you’re after you may need to look elsewhere.
It’s the kind of campsite that I went to as a kid. The kind of site that got me excited about going outdoors, under canvas. These sites are rare and should be cherished.

Liked Amazing stay!
We had a fantastic time at this campsite and can't wait to come back. The location was beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and well away from the noise of everyday life. Our site was clean, spacious, and easy to set up on.
The facilities exceeded our expectations — everything was well-maintained and clearly cared for. The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick to answer any questions we had. It felt like a place where the owners genuinely care about giving guests a great experience.

Liked My friends and I had a lovely time camping at St Hilary’s campsite. The campsite has great washroom facilities that were kept clean and stocked. The washing up area was so convenient.
