Positiv Very clean site with no litter.
Lovely views. Very.clean portable toilets.
Showers looked ok, ish.
Thats it really. Probably nice walks in the area.

Negativ Showers could be better.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Mat, glad you enjoyed your stay.

We will be upgrading the showers at the end of this season so keep your eyes peeled for some changes.

Positiv Big field, really good access from the main road onto a tarmac drive and straight onto the field. Loos were clean and smelt good (on a weekend stay). Grass wasn't overgrown so easy to sit out with our chairs. Plenty of space to set up. You aren't micromanaged by the owner (we didn't even see them). It's right on the Ridgeway so works well for those doing the Chiltern Way cycle route.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Livy, we pop every to say hello a couple of times over the weekend but that's usually the most you'll see of us :)

Positiv Great site, really clean portaloos, amazing location for walks, huge field lots of space

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Jessica, thanks for the feedback.

We have been trying a new layout with the loos this year, hence the lack of sinks but we do have plans to install new ones.

Positiv Loads of space, easy check in/out, portaloos were cleaned and emptied daily, bins emptied daily, beautiful sunset, quiet!

Negativ Nothing.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Emily, hope to see you again soon

Positiv Good directions, all as described. Nice and flat, great views. Loos etc clean. Bins maintained

Negativ One of the site signage posts broken and on the ground, looked a bit sad.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for the great review.

The signpost is on our list to repair this week.

Positiv The space is fantastic and it is so peaceful watching the red kites flying around or the aircraft on their lessons. As the field is so big you can be as sociable as you want. Links to the walks are great - literally on your doorstep!
Cold water for dishes and showers (if it’s hot enough that’s lovely)

Negativ We arrived the day before the porta-loos were being emptied…whilst they were clean you could definitely tell they needed emptying!!
They were emptied whilst we were there and additional loos put in - if we’d arrived on that day we’d have given the site a 10

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Julie, annoyingly the portaloos should have been delivered weeks before but there was a problem at the supplier's end outside of our control.

Glad you enjoyed your stay though, we love the kites too :)

Positiv This was my third stay at Ridgeview. I do like it here. It’s a lovely and peaceful place to camp. Flat pitches, very simple, right by the Ridgeway and other nice paths. Short walk to the King William IV pub. Good value. Decent phone signal if that matters to you.

Negativ The featured portaloos are not the nicest place to answer the call of nature. They are kept clean though. Weather during my stay was very hot so the cold water only showers were bearable. Some modest upgrades would greatly improve the experience i.e. compost loos and a solar panel to heat the showers.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks Simon, always good to have you with us.

We do explore alternative shower solutions. Last year we had a very nice gas setup but someone decided to trash it so we're a bit nervous to look at something else quite yet. Keep your eyes peeled though.

Positiv Lovely campsite, good facilities. Really good walks nearby, including the Ridgeway.
