What customers say
A remote, peaceful, and beautiful countryside campsite surrounded by hills and woodland, offering a true escape. Visitors praised the stunning scenery, spacious pitches, and the thoughtful inclusion of fire pits and picnic benches. The owners are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and hardworking. While the facilities are generally clean and adequate, some reviews suggest they are basic and could benefit from an upgrade, with occasional reports of limited numbers. Access via a narrow single-track road is mentioned as a potential challenge for larger vehicles. Despite minor drawbacks, many visitors express a desire to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
In summery despite the negatives it was actually quite likeable.
Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We liked its woodland setting, the fact that a stream runs near by with a little waterfall.
There was a unisex disabled facility with shower, sink, toilet and baby changing.
We also found that the staff were friendly and It was reasonably priced being in the main season too.
We may return, and it maybe worth a visit out out of season.
Disliked We disliked the road getting to and from the campsite.
There was only one male shower and one male toilet which wasn't enough. In the ladies there was only shower and two toilets, again not enough. On the plus side there was a unisex disabled facilities with a shower and baby changing as mentioned above.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We loved how remote and quiet it is. Stunning location with the little lake and the valley is beautiful. I found a couple of spots to get in the river. Spacious pitches with a bench and fire pit. The owner worked hard to chat and make sure everything was provided, even fairy liquid and sponges if you’d forgotten. Although the facilities were small, we never had a wait and it didn’t feel too busy. Pub and beach at the end of the room make it brilliant
Disliked Horse flies! Everywhere in the valley. I’m covered in bites so bring the bug spray. At least the warm weather meant fewer midges. But even then- so many birds and bats. I’ll put up with a few bites for a pristine bit of countryside. One of the kids also picked up a tiny tick from the bracken, but unfortunately this is more common everywhere.

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Exactly as described lovely hideaway in the hills. Friendly owners more than happy to recommend local walks. Great location lots of stuff to do nearby. I loved that you can do walks directly from the campsite. All round stunning scenery.
Disliked The only thing to mention is there was a lot of animal poo on the pitches. Although I appreciate that's hard to control. At least there's lots of wildlife!

Liked This campsite was excellent. Lovely and quiet, great welcome from the owner who works extremely hard at keeping the communal areas clean. Shower was great, lots of hot water and the same for washing up too. Would highly recommend.
