Space, views, peaceful, pub, basic, no car needed
Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Space, peace and quiet, tents are not on top of each other. Also quiet enough halfway June, lovely horses in the fields next to us. Very basic facilities, just a field, a portaloo and a tap with a sink. Nice pub with friendly service is a 3 min walk. Plenty of walks from the campsite, no need for a car. Shipham is a 15 min walk away and has a butcher plus shop. And the views!
Disliked A few trees in the field would be nice
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for a great review. You actually read my mind about the trees, it’s been something we’ve talked about. Hopefully soon!
Lovely quite spot with great views and close to rowberrow warren.
Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Huge field and they only allow 20 pitches so lots of space. Children friendly and everyone is very respectful if they have dogs. Great walks in rowberrow warren a few minutes away without getting in the car.
Disliked None

Clean and well maintained, good location
Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Second stay at this site, exploring the surrounding area and nearby forest with my dog .
This site is very clean and well maintained. The porta loo was very clean and well stocked with essential items. The views are excellent whether enjoying your evening drinks and food as the sun sets or early morning cuppa.....there are two pubs very close by , walking distance,offering food and good quality beer if self catering isn't for you.
There was plenty of room for privacy and I found the other campers to be courteous and quiet. If you have a camp "bin" ensure it has a lid or is emptied at night due to scavenging wildlife. Good natured owner and friendly locals. planning to return.

From the manager: Thank you for a great review, apologies for the Portaloo situation, we do have two at busy times and we misjudged it this weekend. Hope it didn’t spoil your stay too much.
Great Site!
Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Lots of space and a lovely location. Great pubs nearby and really quiet!
Disliked Not a dislike- more toilets/ permanent toilets in the future would make this perfect. But given the price and location you really cant complain about anything!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for a great review. The toilets are always something we assess but we have to weigh up the cost against raising prices. I understand the toilets aren’t ideal but I can assure we are constantly reviewing this. Glad you enjoyed the peace, and the pubs!
A great basic camping site with…
Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked A great basic camping site with two clean portaloos and Belfast sink for water.
Easy access to a large field, tree and hedge lined to south and west with horse paddocks to the north.
Slightly sloping field.
We stayed one night camping in early June which was typically British: wet and windy.
Our hosts very kindly checked we were ok and staying dry. Top service!
Even with our weather the views are superb.
We didn't visit but there is a very popular foodie pub less than 5 minutes walk away.
Disliked If I was being really, really picky the sound of birdsong is occasionally drowned out by jet engines - Bristol airport is not far away.
