Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Great location and huge plots. Really friendly and accommodating owners. Not far from the coast and the amenities (showers etc) were great. We left early because of the weather, but that’s the only reason. I imagine in good weather this place would be lovely.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Great site and very warm welcome from Andy. Nothing was too much trouble! The pitch was spacious and the facilities basic but clean and all in fine working order. For the down to earth camper Forest Edge is ideal. Shade might be a problem but the English autumn did not allow us to be concerned about over heating!

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Pitch size, level pitches. Clean
Disliked: Advertise 3 dogs included. When arrived said only 2 dogs and charge for dog. Not what advertised. We’re able to show advertising. Only later after another unfortunate incident did they say they were not going to charge us for the dogs. 😵. Owners a bit manic. Need to relax with campers.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, it wasn’t a great start when you tried to smuggle your three dogs without paying 🤷♂️🤷♂️ as for manic owners, not sure where you come from , your wife or girlfriend decided to drive to the toilet every time? Which was approximately 80 feet from your pitch. and as for being on the perimeter of the campsite, most people like to be there, not sure what your problem was.???? Anyway, I hope you find a lovely campsite with everything you need for the future Kind regards Forest edge
Peaceful site with great facilities and super friendly staff.

Liked: Very friendly welcome. Private style, large pitches. The pitches were cut into the meadow, it was a really nice touch to have the longer wild patches to make it feel like your own spot. Showers warm, toilets clean. Dogs welcomed on leads. Dogs even had a field up the top to have a run and stretch. Our fire pit and logs were delivered to us each night which was a lovely touch. Would definitely come back and recommend others.
