What customers say
A top little spot! Friendly owners, great rural views for walks & stargazing. Free WiFi, clean facilities (though only one loo/shower & showers cost extra). Narrow road approach for some. Great value, keen to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Peaceful farm site with level pitches, and adjacent footpaths.
Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Lovely quiet site in the country between Clun and Knighton. Both really quaint villages. The Horse and Jockey in Knighton is highly recommended.
Toilet and shower very clean. It's £1.00 per 4 mins for shower. The owners are very helpful and friendly.
Peaceful nights sleep and wish we could have stayed longer. We will return!

Amazing views, peaceful site and truly a country getaway!
Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Absolutely fantastic, amazing site with incredibly caring owners. A true hidden gem! We adored the view of the farmland and the sound of the sheep, spotting a few red Kite's flying over the trees. Not to mention, there's nothing more amazing than the night sky views and casual conversation we had with one another and other visitors too.
The owners even came out on our last evening, we sat around a campfire with our neighbour tent and we all had fun looking at the milky way (for which this site is named) together and the various satellites that flew overhead - many of which are for navigation purposes, but also seeing a few shooting stars.
I'd like to advise there is no play area and it is on working farmland, so it is important that you occupy your children. We had no issues with this, it was one of the reasons we booked. There is no play area or anything but a large field that children can relax and unwind as well. My 12 and two 9 yr olds were more than satisfied and we spent 5 days there.
Disliked Nothing at all. It's a small cosy site with shared facilities and every person staying was aware of this, being mindful of showers, bathrooms etc. Nothing at all to dislike!

Cozy little camp site tucked away…
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Cozy little camp site tucked away down little lanes amongst farmland. Pitches are on level ground and easy to peg soil. Camp with your car next to your tent. All the facilities needed for a comfortable stay and your hosts couldn’t be more friendly and helpful.
