Positiv The views were amazing, lady who runs it was very friendly and approachable. The large fire pit with chairs all around was nice.
Single shower was nice.
The newly built communal shelter was really nice along with the solar powered phone charging units.
Location great

Negativ Only one shower, the wooden shed it was in was too small, you couldn't get dressed easily, you stepped in to a very small area, only max foot wide, then the shower curtain and cubicle, would be better if the entrance part was bigger.
even though the grass had been cut, it was still quite long and was extremely lumpy and it was mainly a very steep slop.
The porta loos were on one side of the field and the 1 shower was at the bottom of the very steep sloppy field. Drinking water was just in one place next to the shower.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Phillipa, I'm so sorry you weren't expecting a slope, as it's in the title and address Summit Camping Kit Hill.
I am pleased that you enjoyed what amenities we do have as we are just a pop up back to nature site. we try hard every year to add something & take on board what you all say, so as your review is the only one to mention limited space in the shower we will do something about that next year. We only have 1 as that is as far as the water gets up the hill ( 1,300 feet above sea level) & the pressure then trails right off, hence 1 shower & 1 tap. not ideal, but better than none. you can drive to it or pitch nearer.
We will be adding a washing up station by the shower and hope to add a covered area.
The grass had been cut and baled in June, as a farm field it is then left to grow before being cut and baled for hay bales the next time, so yes, is a tad rustic.

Positiv Very friendly owners, clean and tidy facilities provided and stunning views

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for booking Summit Camping it was great to see you all again & we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, looking forward to seeing you next time :)

Positiv so peaceful, site owner came to say hello on first day, a lovely lady
toilets were kept very clean, lots of space in field
solar charging for phones is an excellent idea too.
Views were to die for

would definitely recommend

Negativ Not sites fault at all, site is on a hill so some pitches are flatter than others but please dont let this put you off.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you for you review and booking Summit, in 8 acres there's always a space to suit everyone. That's the beauty of a hill. So glad you enjoyed the views

Positiv The 1 shower was good glad I didn't book another night

Negativ Over priced for a field with no washing up facilities and porta loos which 2 out of 4 were full. Rubbish area (jumbo ton bags) overflowing worth no more than £10 a night.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi I'm very sorry you didn't enjoy your stay, obviously, being a farm field as stated and only a pop up site we are off grid and loos & bins are emptied on a regular basis, but on the day you stayed they did need doing as we had far more bookings than expected, being quite popular now. We take all comments into consideration and I have put procedures in place to have loos and bins emptied sooner. I am up cleaning several times a day.
Yes, and £10 is about what we get for that we provide
Public Liability Insurance for your protection, Fresh water, Free Gas hot shower with biodegradable hair & body wash. 4 loos, double sink & hand wash, bins, dustbins, disposable bbq bin.
Firepit & Free wood, chairs and benches.
Notice board , First aid box, fire extinguisher's
Communal field shelter with picnic tables, solar lights. Free Mobile phone charging station.
Welcome pack.
currently we just have a table with bowl & fairy by the shower & tap. next year we will be adding a washing up station.

Positiv The shower was excellent, warm and easy to operate. However, the instructions provided did not get the water hot or the pilot light on the boiler lit. Might need to fiddle around a bit with the water pressure and temperature controls. Loved the walk up Kit Hill opposite, great views

Negativ Main issues with the campsite was the toilets. They were portaloos that had not been cleaned. Informed by campsite staff (who we only saw once during a 3 night stay, mobile numbers provided on site for assistance) that they were cleaned out once a week but that the clean had been missed in the previous week. By the third day the toilets were overflowing with toilet paper and excrement. To improve campsite would recommend a compost toilet and then owners can ensure sanitary conditions. Only saw owner on first morning and did not return for the rest of our stay, if there were issues staff are very absent.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi, I did meet you and explained we were waiting to have the portaloos emptied, which has now been done. They were kept clean by myself 3 x a day but i cant go behind every guest. However, we take all comments very seriously and addressed the problem by buying our own tanker so this never happens again. Our guests safety and welfare is of the highest importance to us.
We have also added more notices inside for guests to check before they leave and to leave the loos as they would like to find them. Which would have been obvious to us. My husband and i were both in and out of the field several times a day but sadly you must have been out when we were there. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the shower, its a great addition to have a free hot shower on a pop up site. The instructions are clear turn the lever on wait to connect adjust water for temperature. return knobs as found. we are glad you enjoyed the views and our lovely Kit Hill. Take care,

Positiv Sehr schöner Blick und super Preis/Leistung

Vom Platzbetreiber: Lovely to meet you, we're so happy you enjoyed the views, and we hope to see you again soon.

Positiv Absolutely beautiful spot. Lots of space. Wonderful walks from the campsite. Great fire pit. Really good communication.

Negativ Not the campsites fault but a family came and camped right next to us, we could hear them snoring - a huge field with plenty of space. Obviously 'no idea' people. Ruined our stay really.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Mary, Thank you for your review, i'm so sorry to hear about the other campers ( How sill & how rude) we do say camp 8 meters apart and they had 8 acres to chose from, crazy.
still, i'm sorry it was not nice for you so come again and I'll find you a quiet spot and a couple of free nights, cheers Tracy

Positiv Views and tranquility

Negativ Nothing except some wind. But it's normal on the hill.
