What customers say
This campsite offers a peaceful escape with spacious pitches, stunning river views, and excellent access to outdoor activities like mountain biking and hillwalking. Guests frequently praise the friendly owners, clean and warm showers, and the convenience of on-site fire pits with logs for sale. While generally considered good value with minimal, effective facilities, some reviews mention the toilets could benefit from an upgrade or maintenance, and occasional issues with mud or overflowing bins have been noted. Overall, it's a highly recommended, well-maintained site for a relaxing break.

The website makes out it such a different place but it's really not!
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Maybe the view of mountains and river.
Disliked We did not enjoy the campsite at all, when arrived the bins were overflowing at the entrance and the smell was horrendous!! The toilet's were so smelly and we had to flush if needed as it stated on the door. They barely flushed! We will not be returning here again

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The location is great, people at our stay were quiet. Families, larger groups. Though no one was on site, but it didn’t have an impact for everyone to respect each others.
The owners were coming to site on daily basis few times a day.
Disliked Toilets and showers must be improved. We survived, but it was extreme.

Great place to relax, and enjoy the surroudings
Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Pitch was a good size well spaced circles cut out in the medow. There was the basic rustic facilities on site, with a river you can cool down in. Just turn up pick where you want to camp and that's it.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Spacious pitches, well spaced out too from others. Quiet & scenic. Situated under the Mach Loop for those interested. Hot water showers and flushing toilets which were well stocked. Firewood available on site for a reasonable price for small firepits provided. Second time visiting and definitely will be back again!
Disliked Facilities could do with a bit of TLC. Compared to last visit, the floor of the toilet huts wobble a bit depending where you move. Might just need reinforcing. Both toilet and shower doors have fair sized gaps in when closed, which was a little unnerving if people were around.
