Liked: Well spaced out level pitches with a short walk to the toilets and showers which had the hottest water we have come across. Great dog walks straight from the entrance and a great view across the meadow to the valley.
Disliked: Electricity is extra and the minimum payment was £5

Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked: Norma was so lovely and welcoming, I arrived quite late at night but Norma still took the time to show me where all the amenities were, they have a coffee machine so you can buy a decent hot drink and even though it was late Norma still took the time to make me a hot drink so I could get warmed up settled in after a long late journey. The next morning Norma and her husband helped tow a few people off as the ground was getting a bit soft in places but nothing was too much trouble and they were the perfect hosts with a beautiful campsite. A few of us ordered hot pasties for later in the day which were bought to us on the dot and piping hot which was perfect at the end of a day walking just as it was starting to get cold. Can’t fault this campsite.
Disliked: Nothing.
