What customers say
A peaceful, wild camping spot with amazing views & wildlife. Great for walks to the pub. Basic facilities, some found it pricey for what's offered, especially the wet grass. Still, many recommend it and will be back.

Lovely views
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked The peaceful campsite with only us there, the views are fantastic, if you would like the feel of wild camping, this is it
It is a lovely site and should be appreciated for that, yes there only 2 porter loos but there is water too.
We saw deers and owls, and for star gazing on a clear night it would be fantastic, we walked across the fields, the footpath is there but not that clear, to the pub where the home cooked food was lovely, we loved the sight as this is my review I only hope people go and appreciate it for what it is and take it in
Disliked Nothing

View to die for…
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked View to die for
Disliked Long wet grass, feet were soaked.
Lack of facilities, two portaloos
Was over priced at £25 for the facilities available.
If this woukd have been £15,
I would have been happier. As this would suit.
