Unpowered grass motorhome site
Liked: Super friendly and welcoming staff. Gorgeous views out towards Bodium Castle. Very minimal, natural campsite with plenty of space. Walking distance to the pub!
Disliked: Some spots were slightly on an incline so couldn’t position out campervan in our first choice, but this was really a small inconvenience

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: Stunning location with beautiful views. Meadow with designated area for ball games and big pitches that weren't pre allocated - it was nice to have some choice. Really lovely owners who are actually interested in the campers!! Campfires and wood available, and an added bonus that they provided firelighters!
Disliked: The signposting could have been clearer.

Liked: Small, friendly pop up campsite with some basic facilities, including fresh water tap, male & female chemical toilets. If you're looking for wild camping plus basics this site will tick the box. There's no bins on site, so be prepared to take your rubbish home with you. The map pin point didn't work for me instead I ended up about half a mile further down the lane, the What3words address is ///playing.clapper.whips From the top of the field looking down Bodium castle is visible are endless fields. The owner Terry & his assistant Nathan were on hand to answer any questions etc.

Liked: We booked last minute and didn’t know what to expect and couldn’t have been happier with what we found. We had the warmest welcome from the team and they gave us advice where to pitch up. The view was incredible and the field perfectly quiet and plots spaced apart. The toilets were cleaned regularly and the owner checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be coming again!

Liked: Warmest welcome and personal attention by the hosts, and we got a spot with a terrific view. All pitches are nicely spaced. It was lovely
Disliked: If I was being nit picking I’d say I prefer compost loos to portaloos …but it really is not picking. The facilities were clean, and that’s the most important thing
