Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: This is the second time we've stayed this month and we love it. The pitches are spacious and well maintained. The kids loved the horses in the field and there is plenty to do near by. The campsite has always been family friendly and quiet which is perfect if you have young children. The owners David and Jill are the highlight of your stay. You can tell that both are very passionate about ensuring you have a good stay and generally care about their land. Both are around the campsite daily if you need anything. David helped pack up our tent in the rain. The toilets are always immaculately clean.
Disliked: There was nothing we didn't like. I would just suggest to look at the facilities before you book. If you want a campsite with shower etc then this may not be the place for you. If your happy with a toilet and sink to wash up then this campsite is an amazing option.

Liked: - I loved how friendly and welcoming the owners were (David and Jill). - I loved that we were surrounded by beautiful horses and trees. - It was very peaceful. - David even brought us fresh plumbs and apples from his trees which were yummy! - Portable toilets were very clean. - Dish washing area also sparkling clean! - We would definitely stay here again if choosing to wild camp. We felt safe. - It is situated across the road from Bolam Lake which is beautiful.

Liked: The owners were so welcoming and lovely. The field was very well kept. We were a little concerned that there was only portaloos but rest assured, they were so well kept, they even smelt nice! So please do not let this put you off at all! Itâs lovely to see how much time and effort the owners put in to the site and keeping it well looked after along with all the guests. Thank you for having us and we will certainly recommend to friends and family. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again next summer.
