Liked: Chilled campsite, great for 1 or a few nights, lovely owner very friendly, nice that you can have a campfire. Great walks around, can walk to Monyash and the bull pub one way and to Over Haddon and The Lathkil Hotel the other way. Facilities, toilet block with 3 toilets, new addition of a urinal, always seem to be clean, water points on site, fabulous views. Really enjoyed our stay and will be booking in again soon.

Liked: nicely set spot in open fields, it was exactly as i imagined, simple, friendly and a great spot for me as a mountain biker. the owners pop round to check you in and let you know where everything is which is a nice touch for a solo traveller like myself.
Disliked: nothing, everything was as expected.

Liked: Lovely view and surrounding location, easy directions and sign posted on arrival. Very friendly host.
Disliked: No hand soap or toilet roll in toilets, I understand toilet roll but I think it would be nice to have hand soap or sanitiser available.
