Kingsettle Camping Retreat

Liked A beautiful campsite, thoughtfully set out with pitches that provide space and privacy.

Liked A magical, meadow-filled escape – simple, peaceful, perfect**

We absolutely loved this site. I rarely write reviews (even though I always read them!), but this place really deserves the praise. From the moment we arrived, we felt a deep sense of calm – vast swathes of meadow grass gently swaying in the breeze, with views of Arthur’s Tower in the distance. The pitches are beautifully spaced out, carefully oriented so you don’t feel on top of anyone else, yet there’s still a lovely sense of connection across the site.

Facilities are basic – and that’s exactly what we were after. Two clean showers with a simple on/off switch and one temperature, two compost toilets and a quirky urinal made from a beer barrel (brilliant!), plus two spotless washing-up sinks. There’s a freezer for ice blocks, good recycling facilities and a food waste bin – all really appreciated.

Dogs need to stay on leads to protect the wild meadow, which we thought was great. The care and respect for the land here really stands out. We loved the 6pm delivery of firewood – complete with homemade newspaper bag, kindling, firelighters, matches, and even marshmallows. A small but thoughtful touch that sums up the spirit of the place.

This site has a deep, rich connection to nature – and invites you to slow down and honour it. We left feeling nourished, peaceful, and very much planning to return.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Lots of space, well mowed flat pitches , clean facilities . Eco toilets are spotless but are in rather small raised huts. You have to reverse in ...beep beep beep

Disliked Signage to site could be better

Liked A lovely peaceful semi-wild site with impeccable facilities. Thank you

Liked I liked how each pitch was separated by short fence runs and wild grass really gave an element of privacy. It was so quiet and Jenny was very friendly and made sure she came round to say hi. The toilets are a novel idea and kept very clean, as was the rest of the facilities. Loved this place would definitely come back.

Disliked That we couldn't stay longer

Liked We have visited Jennie's campsite for the second year in a row and it's just a fantastic place. We love the quietness & spaciousness of this site. Even when we wanted to extend our stay but places were fully booked up, Jennie managed to get us a space so we could fully indulge in my birthday weekend. The toilets and showers and always clean and everyone is very friendly on the site. Definitely coming back again.
