Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: We had a fabulous time here. We had an enclosed pitch which was with very careful parking big enough for 6 camper vans! This meant the dog had plenty of room to run around and we could completely switch off. All you can see around you are green hills and fields. A novelty when you compare it to houses everywhere in even the smallest of towns. Carol was very responsive to my many emails and indeed very patient. Plenty of loos and showers and all very clean. We definitely will be back.
Disliked: Nothing at all

Liked: Beautiful quiet campsite at the foot of the Blackdown Hills on a working farm with wonderful views. Large pitches cut in amongst the meadow grasses, composting loos, showers and solar powered shed for USB charging. All very low impact and green. They also had two pitches that were fully enclosed with wire fencing, which were occupied by dog owners and their vans, such a great idea.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Location is nice and not far from places to visit. Pitch was a good size. Can hear M5 traffic but that’s to be expected when camping not far from main roads etc. Toilets okay and nice fenced iff areas for dogs.
Disliked: Not really a dislike, more in a way that improvements could be made to make this site really good. Wash up sinks and showers needs to have clear instructions on Turning on/off the water supply to avoid wasting water and making the boiler go into fault and no longer produce hot water, also a separate water supply to the showers so you don’t turn the water off if someone is showering. Number the pitches so people can book specific areas. Bell tent in the middle is in the best spot of the campsite, wish it was our pitch lol.
