What customers say
This is a peaceful, off-grid campsite on a small holding, praised for its friendly and hospitable owner, David, and his family. Guests enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, shaded pitches, and the charming presence of farm animals. While the ablutions are basic, consisting of a composting toilet and an outside shower, many found it a unique and enjoyable experience. Communication with the owner was excellent, and visitors appreciated the welcoming environment and local insights. Some reviews noted the lack of running water and one instance of showers being out of action.

Amazingly basic, fun, beautiful spot
Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked Honestly, when we arrived we had no idea what this pitch was going to be like, we booked online due to location and didn’t look at any reviews so when we got there and found the facilities made out of pallets, rope, bungie chords and tie wraps we were a little shocked HOWEVER… This turned out to be the BEST CAMPSITE EVER!!!! The rustic primitive charm is infectious, the toilet is a wonderful idea, the shower was incredible! As horse lovers we got to shower while watching horses graze will absolutely be back!!
Disliked Not sure if this os the fault of this property or a neighbour, but a dog barked 24/7, which though out the night became especially grating. Even as animal lovers, listening to dogs bark so frequently and prolonged really did spoil slightly what would have been a perfect location.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked The kids loved the animals. Margaret the pig is always so happy to see you!
The camping was basic, but whilst we were there they were creating new facilities in a different field.
The owner is absolutely lovely. Our gas wasn’t working so he tried to see if his canister would work. He also gave us some tomatoes.
Cimes de Courcy is a short drive away and worth a visit. They have bouncy nets suspended in the trees, with a cafe on site.
Disliked The toilet and shower were in need of work when we were there, but they were building new ones, so I’m sure that they will be much better for others.

Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked Great stop off with a shady pitch under a walnut tree. We stayed one night as we travelled south and spent an afternoon relaxing after a long drive.
Very easy to find, the sat nav took us right there and David was there to meet us who was a wonderfully welcoming host.
The ablutions are very rudimentary - a composting toilet and an outside shower. I enjoyed my shower whilst being watched a horse but it may not be for everyone! Think of this as an off grid aire and you'll be just fine!

Superb!
Electric optional grass and earth pitch
Liked What a great place to stay. David’s farm was completely charming - our neighbours were goats, pony’s and a beautiful (and chatty) pig called Maggie.
This is a peaceful place surrounded by vineyards and run by David and his very friendly family.
We were made to feel very welcome and were introduced to the local vineyards and area. Highly recommended
Disliked Nothing at all
