Beautiful site
Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Absolutely wonderful site. Clean, tidy, improvements being made constantly! Staff are wonderful as well. My only regret was not booking 2 nights!
Definitely coming back here!
Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Loved the camping meadow, not many tents so very spacious and private. Incredible lakes and very laid back atmosphere.
Disliked Lack of and distance to toilet/shower block. Portaloos only near campsite, which weren’t great, but building work in progress for new shower block, so definitely coming back!
an absolute gem run by lovely people
Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Liked everything! What a wonderful place PBF is! I could have stayed a week….and certainly plan to do so next time. The field was very big and very quiet with ample toilet facilities that you were confident was not going to run out of toilet roll etc. Only a short walk to the beautiful lakes, changing huts, saunas, café, and everything else on offer. I frequently saw stuff around and they always spoke and answered all questions, and we’re happy to help. The whole place has such a family friendly vibe and is excellent value for money. I’ll definitely be going back more than once.
Disliked The only thing to dislike is that I don’t live nearer so I could go more often!!
I would definitely return to swim but I wouldn't camp here again.
Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked The meadow is huge so there was no noise from surrounding guests. The location with four swimming lakes walking distance from the meadow is amazing and we'd certainly return to swim again. We booked via Pitchup which was smooth and the price for camping includes swimming.
Disliked No one asked us about our booking details or took names etc. There is a new toilet block being constructed so portaloos were available. These were in a very poor condition, with a nappy blocking one of them. The showers are quite far from the meadow and were not clean when we arrived at 6pm and the loos there had no toilet paper in.

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Amazing place. Great massive and lovely field for quiet camping and room for kids to play and explore. The lakes are brill - both more tranquil adult ones, and kid friendly ( it still beautiful ) Q lake. Great cafe, fire pits, friendly staff. Kids loved it. Definitely return.
Disliked Big trek to potable water, showers and wash basin. Appreciate new block is being added, but at least a closer tap would have been good.
Nice open field, plenty of room, swam in the ponds every day.…

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Lots of space and the access to the swimming lakes is great. Will be really good when the new toilet block is up and running.
Ok for wild swimmers in motor homes, not good for tents
Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked Beautiful swimming lakes but not a wild swimmer especially as was seasonably cold
Disliked Lack of showers and dishwashing facilities and very far from pitch, portaloos only nearby and were smelly by end of weekend, had to drive to fill water containers as so far away
