What customers say
Spacious pitches near a beautiful lake, great for swimming/paddleboarding. Friendly staff, clean facilities (new showers!), relaxed vibe. Walk to a pub. Minor notes on water pressure & occasional noise.

Great friendly site in stunning countryside
Bell tent (basic)
Liked This campsite is in a beautiful peaceful location, with hills all around, the drive down into it is stunning. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities were nice and clean, and there were plenty of them, spread across two blocks one at each end of the site which meant no one has to walk too far. The closest pub (white horse inn) is very close and there is a footpath taking you there so no need to drive (pub is highly recommended by the way but I suggest booking at the weekends).
There is a lake on site where you can use paddle boards and they had a clever rental scheme for SUPs and kayaks which we’d definitely try if we came again. There is a cafe by the lake which has options for breakfast and lunch, hot drinks etc. The waffles were delicious.
We stayed in one of their ready pitched bell tents which was excellent - new this year we were told. The warden was very friendly but I have no doubt she could enforce the rules if needed. Actually the site quietened down relatively early both Sat and Sunday night so it was a peaceful weekend. Would definitely try and come back. Thanks!

Lovely camping site, would come again
Anonymous Primitive grass campsite
Liked Really lovely site, with the lake next to the campsite and some great fields for walking the dog. The lake is perfect for kids to learn to SUP on! We had rain the first night so went to the very close pub and had a great meal together (pub is dog friendly too!)
Disliked Unfortunately we had a few neighbours who were quite noisy, and some went on until the early hours. Our second night was much quieter, thank goodness.
