What customers say

This peaceful, semi-wild spot boasts spacious, private, nature-filled pitches. Guests love the great vibe, ample space, and fruit-picking opportunities. Showers are clean and hot, with unique toilets. Most found it tranquil, though some mentioned occasional air traffic and trickier vehicle access on narrow paths. Recommended for nature lovers.

Primitive grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked So good we came back for more! Two weekends in a row and we love this place! Despite the inclement weather, we found a cute area deep under the tree canopy but also close to the facilities. A fire pit, some twinkly lights and bunting made this birthday weekend special. Can’t wait for next season!

From the manager: Thanks Pete, you are becoming a regular! Its so nice to host good people. You are welcome back anytime!

Primitive grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely nature with lots of birds, wild flowers and native shrubs. Showers and toilets basic but clean and worked well. Very quiet (apart from planes overhead but they stopped overnight). Dark enough to see a fantastic view of the stars.

Disliked Didn't spot there were two padlocks on the gate to get in as I arrived in the dark but worked it out in the end :) Planes going to Gatwick noisy during the day.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review! The stars are pretty spectacular aren't they?

I shall simplify the gate locking system ready for next season, I hope to see you again then!

Kind regards

Paul

Matthew H.

Primitive grass and earth campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked small site, like wild camping but with a loo and shower.

Disliked the track was very bumpy and no where to turn around if you missed a good spot, so the washing up sink was too close to the mens loo

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I am glad you liked the site. The track is only a farm track but I shall endeavour to get the larger pot holes filled by next season. I shall also take on board your comment regarding the washing up sink. In an ideal world I would like a seperate camp kitchen, hopefully i will get there at some point in the future.

Kind regards

Paul

Liked What a beautiful site! Super friendly owner, great facilities including very clever showers and beautiful and clean flushing toilets. The site is very unique with lots of cute and very private areas. Really well looked after, was a joy to be in nature with great facilities. Hope we can come back next year. Best wishes Pete & Scouty
