What customers say
Great, friendly park with spacious sites & top-notch, clean facilities (heated showers!) and a popular cafe. Lovely rural views, close to towns. Most loved it, though some mentioned facility queues at busy times and outside noise occasionally.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A fantasic stay which we all enjoyed very much
Powered grass site
Liked Loved it all. Rustic, beautiful site and countryside. You can tell the owners are campers.... everything has been thought of....freezers/fridges/coffee/cafe/hot tubs/toilets & showers clean and very very friendly staff. The ladies in the cafe were brilliant and I met the owners son (I think) most helpful. We will be back.

Unpowered grass site
Liked Stayed here with my husband and 3 children for 3 nights tuesday to friday. We loved it, plenty of room to pitch up and really impressed with the facilities. We used the little kitchen area to charge our phones abd the showers were lovely and hot. We rented a fire pit for £15 and that kept us lovely and cosy at night. We went out to lightwater valley one day and had a few drinks along the local. Will definitely be coming back to try the hot tubs.

Nice campsite but be prepared to drive
Unpowered grass site
Liked Clean site, cafe was convenient, friendly guests, lots to do nearby
Disliked Not the campsites fault but local pub wasn't friendly, local shop was closed, chippy is only open at weekends so we did have to drive out to get food.

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback about “us” but what’s around the site / locally is beyond our control.
Leaving a relatively low score because of this is a little unfair as it reduces our overall ratings

This site is a cracking place for all campers
Powered grass site
Liked Everything! Great open pitches with lots of space, water taps as easy to reach as the electricity and the best shower & toilet block. The only place we went to where it was easy to get hot water to wash up too. Views are amazing, especially at night where the sky was full of stars. My grandson lay on the grass looking up for ages & his only issue was that he forgot his telescope! Play area for the kids, grassed area to walk the dogs, easy walk into the village which has a fab butchers (pub too but we went in the morning). Site also has a lovely cafe and the owner is a real gent. Staff are polite & helpful. Great site

Liked Wow what a friendly well kept and brilliantly run camp site.. we have been touring for the past few weeks and this place was amazing. Met by a friendly gentleman who showed us to our bus!! It was amazing… fully equipped, comfortable and such a fun experience. 4 adults and a 9yr and so much space to do everything needed. Bonus of a wood hot tub! Lovely bonus
