What customers say
This is a basic, quiet campsite situated behind The Bell Inn pub. Visitors praise the friendly staff, good pub food and drink, and reasonable prices. The field offers plenty of space and lovely views. Facilities include a shower (£2 charge) and a washing-up station. While generally clean, some noted issues with limited toilet provision and occasional lack of hot water for washing up. Noise from farm animals and other campers has been reported, as has a challenging access for larger motorhomes.

Liked Nice basic campsite adjoined to a pub. Good location, 20 minutes walk to the Collier Way. Great pub staff and food at reasonable prices.
Recommended, we will definitely be returning.
Disliked I believe this site is reasonably new and in its infancy, at the moment there's only one unisex toilet cubicle available outside of pub hours, but hopefully this will change in the near future.

Bell tent
Liked Great views. Wonderful friendly staff. Nice bell tent. Pub handy for first night drinks/meal.
Disliked Toilet a long way to walk in the night or when desperate. Shower was too hot for daughter to use. Other campers noisy and large group parked right next to our bell tent when loads of space.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Loved this place and will definitely be back. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Not massive but there were only 7 groups when I went so plenty of space. The staff at the pub are amazing, and it has a lovely atmosphere. The food is very reasonably priced and is good. It is basically a field behind a pub, but that is the charm and it is in an absolutely beautiful location. There is one shower in a shed on the field itself (costs £2 and only takes 2x£1 coins for 6min of hot water) and next to that shed there is a single washing up sink with cold water only. There is a single toilet for the campsite in a building near the pub open 24hrs which is 100 feet away from the field and you can use the pub toilets when it is open.
Disliked Very hard to dislike but I guess it may not be for you if want a sterile faceless and zero atmosphere site. If you want to feel like you are in a beautiful location away from it all with very nice staff then it’s perfect.

Anonymous Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked A large field so there was plenty so there was plenty of space between pitches. There is a shower and washing up facilities on the field, the toilet is a little bit further away. The owners are friendly and accommodating. The pub food was good too. Will probably stay again in the future.
Disliked Nothing.

Clean, cheap and friendly. Whats not to like!
Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked The Location, pub,local people and owners were fantastic. They made me and my wife feel very welcome indeed.
While the campsite is very basic, you know that before you book, and thats just what we wanted. Its surrounded by farmland as such its very quiet. For the price, you can't beat it. We will be back!
Disliked Getting in and out of the campsite could be tricky. One way is a slope the other is a little tight width wise. A very small issue on an other wise lovely place. We got in and out with our 22ft caravan ok.

Anonymous Bell tent
Liked Lovely chilled campsite only stayed one night in a bell tent wish i had more time. bell tent was clean, washing up facilities, coin operated shower , toilet was clean and you can use the pub toilets when it's open
Disliked Campbed in bell tent a bit awkward as a double but for a basic bell tent you can't expect miracles. Next time I bring a extra duvet to make it more comfortable
Recommend to friends Visit again
Lovely meal in the pub and very friendly staff
Anonymous Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Big empty field. Only stayed a night so didn’t explore
Disliked No washing up facilities that we found but maybe we didn’t look hard enough. I don’t think the single loo would cope if there was a full field. £22 per night for pitch and 2 dogs a bit steep for the facilities on offer
