What customers say
This is a friendly, basic campsite located in a beautiful natural setting next to a river, ideal for walkers with excellent access to local trails. Pitches are well-sized, many with fire pits. The pub across the road is a popular feature for drinks and socialising, with friendly owners and locals. Facilities are described as basic but functional, including a hot shower. Some visitors found the site slightly overpriced for the amenities, and motorhome/campervan pitches were noted to be in the pub car park. Improvements to facilities and clearer communication regarding pub opening times were suggested by some guests.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A lovely small and quaint campsite.…
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked A lovely small and quaint campsite. The surrounding areas are beautiful and great if you want to go for a hike or a peaceful walk.
Disliked Really disappointed that the pub opposite was closed, the nearest one if you were walking is about an hours walk. No access to the toilet which is appalling and no site of the owners. Bins were overflowed so it doesn’t seem very well maintained which is such a shame due to the lovely nature of the site itself.
Quite disappointed overall but made the best out of it and took in the surroundings. Definitely recommend that the owners are more tentative and perhaps some communication wouldn’t go amiss, especially with the pub closure and toilet access.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Nice location by a small river with easy access to a hiking path alongside.
Disliked Shower was broken and we weren't informed of this. Toilet paper wasn't stocked so we had to cycle over a mile and a bit down the road to nearest shop. Campsite was a little small and very full, it was hard to find a suitable pitching location. Bins weren't emptied and were overflowing

Not the idyllic peaceful spot advertised. No facilities so we left.
Non-electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Absolutely nothing, we ended up leaving.
Disliked Toilet and shower were not working. Pub wasn’t very welcoming, no food and it closed at 6 pm. It was a car park on a main road with a camping field behind it. There was a large group of young people in the field who were gearing up for a big night.

Lovely location but unfortunately will not return.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked The location.
Disliked The toilet facilities , one toilet across the road for the whole campsite.
The attitude of the lady who told me the bar was shut before I even had chance to say hello.
The rowdy group of young adults who drank and partied all night resulting in me having to leave the campsite and pack up in the middle of the night .

Lovely site by a stream and nice views. Facilities were mostly OOO.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Cozy environment and site - not very large but a decent space. Firepits and fires welcomed. Nice landlady.
Disliked Showers not working and the toilet camp side was padlocked, this meant having to cross an A road in order to use the toilets at the pub. Loud music and partying till the early hours but not necessarily the fault of the landlady, a check after pub lockup to enforce noise rules would have helped here.

Great sight, friendly owners, amenities could do with an upgrade.
Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked Great location, lots of good walks and sights nearby. Owners seemed very nice. 5g and 4g all around the campsite, even all the way up the mountain.
Disliked Toilet on the campsite was locked and pub was closed at night, also closing the only available toilet. Bins hadn’t been emptied in a while and were full.
