Positiv This was our first camping experience and overall we had a very positive impression of this campsite. The environment and views were lovely, and the whole place had a relaxing atmosphere.

One thing to note is that many of the driving paths around the campsite are mainly gravel roads, which may feel a little rough or risky for some cars. However, as long as you drive carefully, it should be fine.

Overall, the campsite environment was very good. The only area that could be improved slightly was the toilet facilities. The women’s toilets were perfectly fine, but the men’s side only had temporary toilets, which felt a little less comfortable compared to the rest of the campsite.

Despite that, we still enjoyed our stay and had a good first camping experience here.

Positiv This was our first time camping at this campsite and overall we had a really good experience.

The farm owner was very kind and friendly, and the whole campsite was well organised. The environment was lovely, especially with the good weather during our stay. We also liked the terraced layout of the campsite, which made the whole place feel nicely arranged and spacious.


That said, overall the campsite atmosphere was great and everything else was managed very well. We would still recommend this campsite and enjoyed our stay.

Negativ The only small downside for us was the toilet situation. Although there are separate toilets for men and women, the men’s side currently only has one temporary toilet. We understand that adding more facilities would likely increase the campsite fees, but during busy times there could be quite a long wait if someone urgently needs to use it. It also felt a bit difficult to comfortably use the temporary toilet for bigger toilet needs.

Positiv Ed was a fantastic host, regularly checking the site and making sure everyone was happy. We stayed 3 nights and had a fantastic view over Dovedale.

Basic but clean toilets and shower.
Very natural with no airs and graces, grass quite long, but it was dry so didn't bother us.

We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it.

Positiv The pitches were spacious. Views were beautiful and the location peaceful. The owner, Ed, was very friendly, helpful and talkative.
All of the positives above were spoiled by the substandard facilities; see dislikes.

Negativ The facilities.
Toilets consist of a single portaloo for gents and, in a small portable building, two toilets for ladies.
Additionally there were two usable showers (out of 3 potential) and two sinks in another portable building.

The gents portaloo filled up over the busy bank holiday weekend and ended in a revolting and unusable condition. It was not adequate for the number of male campers and wasn't checked and cleaned regularly enough.

The ladies toilets were better but ran out of soap and stayed that way for over 24 hours indicating again an inadequate checking and cleaning routine. Additionally one of the toilet door locks didn't work.
The ladies were in a portable building shared with the washing up facility. As a bloke tasked with doing the washing up this left me feeling uncomfortable and compromised doing it next to the ladies toilets.

There is no shade on the campsite.

It's a pity about the toilet facilities. A relatively small investment in another portable building like the ladies would resolve it. As it is now, with only one portaloo for gents, I would not return.

Positiv Location. Aspect overlooking the countryside is lovely. Quiet location, good rules around noise. Large pitches.

Negativ Facilities. Men had one porta loo between them. It was disgusting. Women had two loos, one didn’t lock and the washing up facility was also in here. Paper towels and soap ran out and bins were over flowing.
Two electric showers were fine. Just think with all the money made a bit of it could go in improving the facilities. As a man I would not return to the site because of the facilities.
