Positiv Everything you could ask for from a WILD camping site, I can’t express wild enough, there is not a drop of road noise, light pollution or anything you would generally get in a normal camp site, beautifully clean porta-loo’s with hand basin, no showers yet but planned for 2026 to broaden the horizons for people trying to dip their toes in the wild camping life without losing all of your usual amenities. That being said, in my view being that this is a wild camping site, having loo’s is enough of a step above the rest. Running water on site immensely helpful. I cannot stress enough how well put together this site is.

Rachel the owner could not be more helpful, she came for a wonder around site to make sure everyone was happy and that there was nothing that could be done to improve your stay.

Don’t think twice, if you want a night of beautifully starry skies, absolute silence only broken by the hoot of an howl or the cheep of a bat, this is the place to go.

I would advise a 4x4 as the best route of access however smaller cars such as a VW up where able to get on site, just be prepared incase it rains, the site is up hill partially.

Signal is also very sparse, so get your head out of your phone ;)

Negativ The road leading up to the site is not maintained (sorry to say) so it’s a bit bumpy to say the least. This site due to recent rainfall was tricky to access in my motorhome. But to be fair I would come back in the summer.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Mark,

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a pleasure having you stay with us at the farm.

Our track is maintained and was improved last winter. We added two passing places, levelled the track to reduce potholes, and laid chalk at the entrance to the field gate. That said, you’re absolutely right that it is still very bumpy. Please be reassured that we’re committed to further improvements over this winter, with plans for additional and larger passing places as well as a more solid track surface and a surface at the top of the hill to assist access after persistent bad weather.

I really appreciate your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back again next summer.

With best wishes,
Rachel

Positiv Lovely field right on the edge of the forest, with a fantastic view over the hills. Great spot to catch the sun setting.
Toilets on site cleaned regularly and Rachel is easily contactable for wood/fire pits etc. We started our stay on a Sunday and it was busy, but not intrusive, by the Tuesday (after bank hol) there were about 3 other campers in the field, it was so quiet. We will definitely return.

Positiv It is a very quiet and peaceful camp with plenty of room and beautiful views. At night the sky is spectacular and clear - perfect for star gazing!! Rachel was very helpful with brilliant communication. The Star and Garter down the road was very very nice and offered a 10% discount on food for camp patrons.

Negativ The road leading to the field is very bumpy and stoney.
