What customers say
Great for a peaceful, off-grid escape. Lovely lakes for fishing, friendly staff and plenty of wildlife. Facilities are basic but functional. A bit of train noise, but mostly quiet and natural. Perfect for a relaxing break outdoors.

Unpowered forest floor tent or trailer tent site
Liked Beautiful fishing lakes completely off grid, I was given a place in island in the middle with fellow campers. Parked next to tent facing back lake. Made to feel very welcome from staff, compost toilets short walk away. Paths around whole side with eco building and outside kitchen and group fire circle. Allowed to use my own fire pit, wood and fuel brought from site for a tenner, even lent me a lighter as forgot mine. Slept great little noise apart from occasional train and church bells
Disliked Having to leave and not having a week here

Unpowered forest floor motorhome site
Liked Willow Garth was great, the site is eco friendly, scenic and had character with the pitches spaced naturally rather than just rows of them cheek by jowl. There's fishing on site for those who fish and wildlife including Moorhens, Canada geese and chickens. A communal table was close to my pitch for campers who may want to integrate and socialise. It made cooking alot easier too.

Liked All the staff/volunteers are super friendly and helpful. Everything they earn whether it's camping fees or stuff sold in their cute lil shop all goes back into making the site better. Which is just fantastic. They have loads of adopted animals on site too. We will definitely be returning several times and helping out make this place even better for everyone else to enjoy.
