What customers say
Super clean, peaceful site with roomy, flat spots & great views. Owners (Jess) are legend, facilities are grouse. Good for bushwalks/rides. Small Wi-Fi issues, bit of road noise & tricky driveway, but folks loved it and want to come back.

Liked Arrived Sat 16th May for 1 night only to try out our new Ford wildax Proteus sport which we bought on Thursday.
This was our first campsite we visited.
Large pitch, with electric hookup. Peaceful campsite which we both enjoyed. Did go for a short walk turned right out the gate. Only went approximately 2 miles as it started to rain and we're not dressed for it.

Excellent site. Very welcoming. Would highly recommend
Powered concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Lovely, quiet little camp site. Very peaceful and the surrounding walks are just amazing.
The site is spotlessly clean and very well cared for. Gates for that added security.
The owner was lovely, helpful, on site and always happy to answer any questions. A small shop. So tour every day needs.
The site is sat on a huge field. So accessible dog area.
Would happily recommend and thank you for a wonderful stay.
Disliked From a personal perspective I would like a shower that stays in rather than a button press in all the time...
I understand the charge to use the hairdryer as costs are so high.... however, I personally don't carry change anymore. It might be worth adding this to your bio so people are aware and can bring the correct money or a view to removing it maybe?
The above s no reflection on the site because as I have said it was just amazing. The above are just my opinions that's all and certainly wouldn't stop me staying again.
