Liked: We could purchase firewood for £5 and the use of a repurposed drum from a washing appliance as a fire pit was free of charge with the purchase of wood. Shower perfect temperature, but best of all was the warm welcome from April and Hannah and their helpfulness. A lovely peaceful site, will definitely stay again.

Bell tent
Liked: We went as a group of friends with our young children and absolutely loved the complimentary marshmallows and the tyre swing! The little play area was really lovely and the children had a lot of fun. The provision of the fire pits was fab as well - a camp fire always makes it extra special. It was also helpful having a food van on site, especially for a short stay.
Disliked: The bell tents were near a road with lights along it, which meant they were lit up at night. I would also have loved a compost loo on each field - being pregnant and with small children, being very near a loo at night is helpful!

From the manager: Thank you very much for your lovely review. It was great to see your young children enjoying themselves in the open air. Thank you for mentioning the lights. When we know there is a problem we can make changes, so this feedback is really helpful. We hope to plant a hedge along that fence to screen the lights.
This was our second visit in 3 weeks - I think that…

Liked: When we were looking for campsites for a family friendly holiday this year we stumbled across Pilsdon view and figured all the positive reviews already received had to be right…and they definitely were!
From the moment we arrived we were met with a friendly welcoming host, we were able to pick where to pitch that would suit us and then given a lovely welcoming gift which were very much enjoyed!
The campsite pitches were large, meaning we had plenty of space from other campers ensuring peace and privacy in the evenings. The campsite itself was immaculate, the toilets were consistently clean and well stocked and were always available when required.
The owners on site were friendly and attentive without ever feeling intrusive. The play facilities on site were much appreciated by our children - and us as parents knowing our children had the freedom and space to explore and play safely.
The area itself is beautiful and relaxing - we enjoyed some wonderful clear skies and saw our first shooting stars which made our holiday extra special.
Thank you for providing a wonderful campsite that gave us a memorable holiday - we will definitely be back! 😊

Liked: We had a great time we stayed in a bell tent for 3 nights it was lovely and clean as were the toilets and showers.
The fire pits with the logs being delivered by tractor was lovely and plenty of space for the kids to play ball games.
