Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Beautiful rolling hills surround the lovely flat camping field. This was my 2nd visit to this site. It's incredibly quiet, perfect place to get away from everything. The pitches are a generous size and numbers limited so not over crowded. Book in by text on arrival and then just pick an area to pitch up. 8-10 toilets and 4 cold water showers, all kept immaculately clean. Fire kits are available while booking and highly recommend by me. If you stay more than 1 night you can get a refill at a slight discount. The Ridgeway path runs adjacent to the site so if you are into walking or cycling its a great place to stay. They have fresh water points on site, a washing up station, rubbish bins and recycling bins too
Disliked: I really like this site and intend staying here again when possible. The only slight draw back I can see are the cold water showers.

Unpowered grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked: Views, space, peace. Lovely, well maintained site with one huge field. Very basic with portaloos, which were pretty good for that type of thing. Always had paper and soap. Showers are cold though, so be warned! Lovely walk into town and lots of pubs and cafes to explore, as well as sweet independent shops and a Waitrose! The views were lovely. And the sky is endless! This is a perfect place to go for a chilled weekend, or last minute getaway.

Liked: Dark sky, quiet location.
Disliked: Portaloos, cold showers. Not much to do in walking distance of the site. Not worth the price.

From the manager: We're sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay. Our facilities are precisely as advertised, portaloos (cleaned on a daily basis to a very high standard) and cold water showers, we're a back to basics site, as it states clearly on pitch up before booking and very prominently on our website (text in bold "Please be aware before booking that we are a back to basics site, facilities on site are cold water showers and portaloo toilets"). Back to basic sites aren't for everyone, but we don't pretend to be anything else. Often this can disappoint or surprise people if they haven't read what they've booked in advance as it's a matter of people arriving with false expectations. As you'll see from the 10/10 reviews above and below this one, many love the simplicity of our back to basics site. But it isn't for everyone, we always recommend knowing what you've booked in advance so it can match expectations.

Liked: Lovely spacious site, lots of room for kids to play, flat ground for the tent, easy check in, facilities were fine (tho I didn’t brave the cold showers!), everyone was delighted with the red kites swooping overhead. Really enjoyed our stay.
