Liked: Good space, right by the water, lovely walks close by. The campsite was quiet at night and woken up in the morning by the birds, sheep etc which was lovely.

Disliked: No running water but to be honest wasn’t the end of the world- we planned ahead and made sure we had plenty with us.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: Very nice place just next to the river. Good communication and easy to Find.

Disliked: The driveway on the way in and out was horrible. And when it rained more it got more horrible. Too mudy and wet

Apart from that, all good, would come back.

Liked: Location, friendly owners and Farmer Bill! Toilets were also fairly clean.

Disliked: Noisy groups of young people shouting at night, really muddy in and out entrance - could put down rubber matting/mulch to help with this.
