What customers say
Pilsdon View is a cracking little spot – peaceful, heaps of space for tents, and the loos are spotless with good hot showers. April and Terry are legend hosts. Kids love the play area and tyre swing. The food van's a lifesaver for a feed. Everyone loves the chill vibe and great views, lots of folks head back again and again.

Bell tent
Liked Gorgeous countryside and lots of space for the kids to play. April and Terry are considerate and approachable; the campsite feels very loved and safe. Having a good van on the site was really handy and the showers were wonderful. They also have a fossil display table so you can peruse the treasures previous campers have found and left.
Disliked Nothing - there were no negative parts to this trip.

Gorgeous yurt
Family yurt
Liked There was such a warm welcome and the site is really well thought out with bikes and games for the kids.
The yurt was cosy and well equipped for everything we needed.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in the yurt. They are a lovely space and the wool insulation means they stay a more even temperature and are quieter than a regular tent.

Bell tent
Liked Absolutely wonderful! April and team are so kind and friendly - helpful and make the whole experience amazing
Disliked Unfortunately a bit of noise, but it was a crying baby so absolutely nothing to do with the site, who kindly moved us to make it lessen the noise.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Very friendly and attentive staff who gave us a bag of marshmallows as a welcome gift! They even offered car help when we were having issues. We went midweek and it was quiet. Very family friendly. Facilities were wonderfully kept, clean and well spread out.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for your visit and review. We keep the jump leads handy and they usually get deployed 3 or 4 times per season.
We will be back.
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Super warm welcome, lovely team. Able to choose our spot. Flat surface to pitch our tent. Warm showers and clean amenities all around. Nothing fancy, just perfect. Food truck was convenient after a long day. No light pollution, star gazing was an exceptional treat if you fancy waking up at 1am!
+++ blackberry bush right by our tent!
Disliked Near roads. We could hear the farm trucks and cars (and the sheep and birds :) ) early in the morning but that didn’t bother us one bit. Also, earplugs are a thing!

Bell tent
Liked Second visit to this beautiful site. Terry and April are amazing and always there to help and provide any assistance or suggestions for the local area.
We were a party of around 14 including several small children who thoroughly enjoyed the campsite. It was helpful bring a small personal site with toys and park for the children to use.
Facilities are exceptionally clean and were monitored by staff on a regular basis.
We look forward to returning again. Thank you April, Terry and staff. Best wishes Lucy & Family.

From the manager: We really enjoy hosting family groups. With the yurts and bell tents ready pitched for you, or the choice to bring your own tent or van, families can create their own ‘village’. The kids bikes and unicorns get a lot of use! Thank you very much for your visit and review.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked The greetings from the team upon arrival. Excellent explained all where to go etc, told to drive around and pick a spot, told us the best places for a sunset or sunrise.
The loos, but showers are more adequate for the site, with plenty of them.
Jurassic Pork was a nice touch to have icecream or some breakfast or dinner when during opening hours and buying milk if needed
The sky at night was amazing, toilets never seen so many stars with no light pollution it was amazing to site outside and have a coffee and just look up.
Disliked Only stayed 1 night, so nothing to dislike.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for coming to visit. Jurassic Pork is a great partner business and make lovely chips!
We also enjoy the view of stars in the night sky.
