What customers say
Spectacular views, tranquil vibe. Staff are friendly, helpful. Facilities (showers, toilets) are clean, well-kept. Spacious pitches, close to pubs & trails. Some noted wind, basic facilities, but overwhelmingly positive – many want to return.

Beautiful views, clean toilets, lovely staff
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We stayed here for 2 nights, the Friday night was pretty quiet, so was lovely and peaceful. The views are beautiful, you get to see some of the sunset and we got to see the moon rising on both nights! The toilets are super clean and even smell nice!! The staff are so friendly and genuine and we even got homemade pizzas from the pizza man who came on the Friday night! Delicious. Very pleased with everything at this location, we would definitely come again!!

Lovely Location
Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked We loved the visit from start to finish. The young lad who checked us in was great and the site was lovely and open with great views and farm animals near by. We did venture off to the pub and it took us 14 mins walk and it was lovely. Facilities are basic but for the price, it was great for us! Thanks!
