Basic campsite in need of refurbishment
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Pitches were separated by hedges. Nice views. Had basic amenities.
Disliked Showers basic, door not good on one shower, didn't try other. Shower head pole very loose and shower head kept falling down. Showers in need of a refurb.
Toilet hand towel holder doors kept opening themselves and nearly hit you in the face/bang your head on them when getting up from the loo.
We also had a noisy neighbour playing bagpipes/accordion very badly whilst we were eating our evening meal so we had to ask them to be quiet a couple of times.
Washing machine drums as fire pits looked a mess especially as they still had the plastic on the back. We thought someone had left them behind to claim their spaces.

Perfect adults only nearly wild camping
Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site
Liked Such a beautiful site, perfect for meeting friends, we had a pitch big enough for both vans to park together, with a gorgeous view. The facilities are great, everything you could need for a "wild camp" without losing out on the basics.
10 min walk to the pub that serves great food and lovely hospitality, and loads of walks to take the do on.
We regularly come for one night and only live 30mins away.
