Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Great campsite. Clean toilets and showers. Good hot water supply in showers. The whole site is powered by solar. The kids loved feeding the numerous animals in the morning- ostrich, sheep, goats, rabbits and collecting the chickens eggs. Super friendly on site owners and a great lake for fishing. They only take 30 families max so there’s always loads of room to explore. If you have chemical waste you need to use green.
Disliked: Nothing. Had a great stay

Liked: Basic facilities, but all you need 🙂 - on arrival lots of info/advice given. We were invited to a party bus on arrival with snacks/drinks & dance music. We felt so welcome. Kids spent the morning feeding the animals and we stayed over Easter and they did an egg hunt for them in the forest school. For a last minute booking our kids had a blast. Bit muddy but to be expected after a very wet winter. Fun little find.

Liked: Great off grid campsite - solar showers and compost toilets, fridge and freezer to use if needed…. Very chilled out friendly hosts. Don’t expect the Ritz but do expect a great base to explore the south coast from. The site is within easy reach of Branscome, Beer and Seaton amongst others….we didn’t try the fishing but speaking to those who did they had good days 👍🏻 Lots of varied animals on site to keep the kids amused. Our daughter befriended one of the cats meaning we now have to return!
Disliked: Nothing to dislike 👍🏻

Liked: We arrived late and in the dark to a gate to open yourself and a pick your own plot and as our first time we were skeptical about why we had paid a higher end pitch cost for an non-electric campsite. However In the morning we found it to be a lovely small campsite and the owners/staff were going around feeding many animals while encouraging the children (and adults) to join in along with teaching them bits. The weather was hit and Miss but with the lake area having fishing, games area and the tunes in the evening from 6-10pm it was a really friendly and fun site which rubbed off on all the other campers making it a very happy stay. Toilet and showers are basic but are very clean and powerful. Brilliant little site which we will definitely use again as close reach to the Jurassic coast
