What customers say
This lovely site's praised for its beautiful riverside setting & peaceful vibe, with great views & trail access. Folks loved the spotless portaloos & the owner, Liz, who's a top host. Basic facilities (no showers) but excellent value. A few find facilities distant, some notice farm noise. Highly recommended for its nature & friendly feel.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Perfect little campsite, if you like to get away from it all!
Very basic facilities (portaloos and cold water) but what else do you need when you're right by the river?
Liz is just wonderful and always on hand to help, and sells the best eggs and cucumbers!
I will definitely be back :-)

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Site was small and very lovely camping by the river with beautiful mountain views.
Owner was lovely, kept checking in to make sure all was ok, helpful with places to go.
Toilets were kept exceptionally clean, (the cleanest portaloos i have seen.
Disliked Road was a little noisy in the day but went quiet at night, obviously not the owners fault or would deter from visiting again.
