Helpful friendly owners , excellent facilities and very clean site
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Arrived on Friday afternoon for a two night stay , we were greeted by the owners who were very friendly and welcoming . We were shown where we could pitch our tent which was a spacious field with two flat terraces . The toilets , showers and washing up area were immaculately clean with plenty of very hot water . The site is so peaceful with amazing views . We will definitely be returning to this site and would highly recommend 5*

Excellent site, great views, spotless, spacious, lovely hosts.
Bell tent (no pets)
Liked It’s perfect! Great campsite all round. The bell tent was, spacious, clean and great views. Toilet and showers were spotless. The occasional spider but to be expected in a field!
What made our trip special was the amazing family who own the site, welcomed us on arrival and were warm and friendly throughout our stay. We arrived on a very wet weekend and had to add our 2 grandkids on at last minute but nothing was too much trouble. Due to weather couldn’t bbq so had breakfast and dinner from their cafe and food was lovely. Recommend pizza, waffles and pancakes. Really reasonable prices.
It’s easy to find, short car journey to the seaside towns and perfect location for exploring east coast.
Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We only stayed for 1 night as a last minute weekend trip but we will be back. The owners are lovel, friendly and helpful, the facilities were always clean. Lovely views and a nice little play area for the kids and a tent with pool/ping pong tables which was nice. The food from the snack bar and the evening pizza were both lovely!
Thanks for having us, we will be back :)

Excellent campsite that nails the "just what you need" experience
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We were greeted by the lovely Katie who checked us in quickly, with minimal fuss. The site itself is lovely, the toilets are clean, the showers are excellent (and free!). There's a decent snack bar on site and a large marquee with free games (giant connect 4, pool, table tennis). All of the owners/staff are very friendly and helpful and clearly keen to make sure you enjoy your stay. There are things people may need to be aware of (see 'dislikes') but I would very happily come back here again!
It really is a back to basics campsite but those basics are done very well. This is exactly the kind of place I like to camp :)
Disliked This isn't a list of dislikes, none of these things bothered me in the slightest, but they're worth being aware of before you book:
The entrance is easy to miss and it's off a busy main road, so be careful!
The car park is steep and gravelly. I was on a motorbike and forgot the golden rule of parking facing down (or up) the slope! Trying to get back on the bike was a bit of a challenge. Don't make the same mistake I did! (That said - the owners are very biker friendly)
The toilets/showers have one toilet and one shower each for men and women. They are tight cubicles. Always clean, very hot water - they work just fine - but worth being aware availability could be limited (we didn't have to wait at any point though)
The field is quite sloped - there are two areas that are flatter - one at the bottom by the main road, one up top where the views are. Still slightly sloped but manageable. The ground is hard but normal tent pegs went in easily - you just need to tap them in patiently! Don't hammer them in hard (or use hard ground pegs).
It's only open Friday - Monday, so if you want a longer stay this isn't for you.
It's off-grid, all power etc is generated on site. I loved that, others may not.
It doesn't have all the amenities of a holiday park (e.g., a bar)...and I think it's all the better for that. If you want the holiday park experience there are plenty of options to go for nearby.

My new favourite campsite
Primitive grass campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked What’s not to like this is my new favourite campsite. The facilities are just excellent. Well maintained and clean. A lovely little cafe which is so reasonable and did the most amazing waffles for breakfast. The campsite owners were lovely and took time to chat to us. Pitches were level and the site not over filled by design. We will most definitely be back.
