Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Very quiet site, all campers are encouraged by the host to spread out to avoid being near each other. Beautiful rural setting and very quiet at night. Took a large number of children with us who enjoyed the freedom to play in a secure and safe environment. Horse-box shower was unconventional but functional and composting toilets were exactly what you would imagine. There is also a small "farm shop" on site which is a nice touch. Host very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Also gave a chaperoned meet of the animals on site to the children.
Disliked: Only one water source in an inconvenient location. Would advise campers to bring large containers to reduce dependence on tap. Other than set up and breaking camp cars are to be kept in the car park near the entrance. Not an issue but be prepared and make sure to unpack cars completely!

Liked: View and location
Disliked: Facilities were not fit for purpose. Water did not heat and ran out. Had to empty the compost toilet after other guests used the toilet.

Liked: We stayed here for 2 nights, we were a group of 4 adults and 2 children. Upon arrival, you need to call Nadia to come and unlock the gated entrance. (This is a fantastic security measure for free roaming children) Nadia the host is the kindest lady, she has rescued numerous animals, which she loves everyone to interact with. We spend a wonderful morning with Nadia and her lovely children berry picking, grooming the ponies, and meeting all the animals. There is plenty of room, and you are able to choose your own spot where you would like to pitch up. There is unlimited space for children to safely play. This place is not for you if you like modern luxuries such as flushing toilets a shower block/ washing up point. This is wild camping, although there are compost toilets, along with1 shower and a bath in a quaint horsebox. You do need to call the host if you would like to come in or out, however Nadia always answered the phone and opened the gate within a few minutes, and as i said its great security for the children. I believe fires are permitted, however you will need to supply your own pit and wood. Nadia has not been here long, and has some fantastic ideas for the future of Staracre.I embraced the experience and genuinely had the best time. I am already excited to return again and see what Nadia has done
