Perfect little camp site
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Lovely little camp site, amazing views of the hills and a nice little river to really give you the camp site feel, the site has a tap for water and a few portable toilets which were all spotless, Liz was very helpful and even check in a few times when the weather went bad, I wish I had brought some cash to buy some of the duck eggs the farms sells, I will definitely return to this site again
Disliked I saw a deer in the field, it ran off before I could take a picture, very rude!
