The Meadow at Waples Mill

Positiv Beautiful peaceful campsite, everyone was silent by 10pm (apart from the badgers 😉).
I traveled with my sister as two single females in our 30s, we were dropped off and left with no car. We both felt very safe throughout our stay. There is plenty of fields and footpaths to walk and a shed with 2 showers and 2 toilets only.

The owner of the land/campsite was lovely, he came and had a friendly chat when we arrived, to make sure we were happy, he lent us some wooden chairs as we forgot to pack ours and kept us in wood all evening for our fire pit. The firepit was beautiful and burnt gently (remember you're own kinderling and firelighters to get it going)

Will come again

Negativ A small essentials farm shop on site would be a lovely touch as the closest convenience store was an 8 mile walk away (not a problem if you drive)

Toilets were abit grubby but not awful, bring you're own loo roll

Positiv We liked the situation, large pitches, walking from the site, provision of raised fires.

Negativ Drinking water was not mains fed and was just from a tank which was open to the elements and you could only fill from toilet basin tap.

Positiv Beautiful surroundings and great view.so much room to pitch and even when busy the pitches are huge. Very peaceful stay. Very friendly owner who is welcoming and offered tips for our onward journey.

Negativ Toilet and shower facilities were basic (which we are good with) but could also do with an upgrade and a little better servicing.

Positiv The location was perfect. We initially went to the wrong place which was close to too much but when we found the site and all you could hear was the wind and the birds, plus seeing no bars on the mobile, I knew I'd picked the right place to book.
Plenty of walks in the area and river to dip your toes into.
The pitch was lovely size, the site was quiet despite having many campers.
My reason for full stars for Facilities / Activities is because there were no activities. This is a do it yourself site which is want we needed. And Wifi, well there was none and that's what is advertised.
As others have mentioned, the facilities is a little rough on the edges but it is in a field and not at home. If everyone respects the space, then it's adequate.

Negativ My wife would say the 'adequate' shower/toilet facilities but otherwise for us both, there was nothing to complain about.
