The Spinney Wild Camping

Positiv Peaceful setting, good customer service and adequate facilities given the site was not very busy. Pleasant walk to local pub.

Negativ Not so much a dislike, but I had thought that there was a more densely wooded area to camp in, which would have appealed.

Positiv Freedom to choose where to pitch your tent and lots of space available in the meadow and the woodland.
Such a warm welcome from Neil and Cherie, who are clearly passionate about making the Spinney a unique experience from your usual run of the mill camping experience. The site is verh well kept and maintained, whilst being sensitive to the natural environment.

Positiv The best campsite I've ever been to! The owners are super nice and welcoming, Neil showed us around on arrival and made sure we picked the best pitch for our needs. Fire pit hire is only £10 including fire wood which is a bargain, it also had a grill on so we could cook our meals on the fire. The campsite is well maintained, very peaceful, it has compost toilets (which are amazing and very clean) and a shower tent, which was really easy to use. There's also simple pot wash area, a small cabin with armchairs and a few board games, a picnic bench and 2 hammocks to use, also a hot tub available to hire. There were horses over the fence, right were we pitched our tent, which were super friendly, they came up to us to greet us too :) we spotted plenty of wild animals roaming around as well. As this was my partner's very first camping experience I'm happy to say it won't be the last, we will definitely be back. Thank you for this great experience. Kind regards, Barbara & Laura

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you Mark for the 10/10 review see you next time, and thank you for the feedback to my questions.

Positiv Wishing the world had a couple more people like Neil & Cherie. They’ve created a lovely, outdoor oasis, focusing on quality of experience. Where commercial campsites would easily host 2x the number of pitches, The Spinney makes sure everyone has a truly ‘wild’ camping experience which means plenty of room. Pocklington, the town nearby, has plenty of pubs & cafes so you get the best of both worlds.

Positiv Nice little site with excellent, friendly hosts who clearly care about giving their visitors the best possible experience. Be prepared to be woken by the loudest dawn chorus you've ever heard! The pop up shower was surprisingly efficient, but there's only one, so there might be queues when the site is full

Negativ My sensitive nose wasn't keen on the composting toilets, but they were very well looked after.

Vom Platzbetreiber: hello Joanna thank you for the great review we are glad you enjoyed your stay.

Positiv The site was beautiful, great facilities and amazing people that run it, always up for a chat and want to help, they provided us with a deck chair and wind breaker. Lovely and quiet and a nice pub 30 minute walk away. We will 100% be back and can’t recommend enough.

Negativ Nothing, it was flawless.

Positiv Spinney Wild Camping place was really nice and upon arrival we were greeted by Neil and Cherie. They were very friendly and individually took us around to show talk us through the site layout and facilities (even directing us to where the sunset would be happening later that evening), as they did for everyone else staying there. They were helpful in providing a wheelbarrow for us to move our camping gear which was so useful to have.

We were there for a practice camping night close to home to try out new camping gear. The site was lovely with a choice of camping in the open meadow or in the wooded area for a bit of shade. It was nice and quiet as it’s got a maximum of 10 pitches allowed which makes the experience a lot more pleasant and personal as it’s not cramped or got too many people. It was good for the kids to play in the hammocks and the lounge area as well as with all the other kids of other people staying there.

The compost toilets were far better than any I’ve used before. For the cost of £25 a night it was very reasonably priced. Plus the hiring of the fire pit was only £10 and that included kindling, a bag of wood (which lasted us about 2 hours for our fire), a lighter, a heatproof glove, heatproof mat, and a bucket of water to keep any drinks cool.

Positiv A wonderful place with everything you need to relax. Beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. There’s a composting toilet, running water, and a shower. You can sit by the campfire while listening to the birds singing. The hosts were friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back
