What customers say
Lovely woodland spot for chilling, with loads for kids (pool, trampoline). Harry the owner's a gem, and wildlife abounds. Easy pitching. Facilities are basic but grand, just the wood might be a bit wanting.

Liked Beautiful little campsites surrounded by fields and trees. Perfect place to escape and relax. 5 minute walk to the village pub,they do very nice food. Only live 10 minutes away but felt like miles away. Staff very helpful. Will definitely be going back again

Great for families!
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Parking was great! Kids loved the rope swing, trampoline, garden & horses in the nearby field. Nearby restaurants 5 min walk was really handy! Running water, shower & fire pits to hire were a bonus. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. Even got our kids airplane out the tree!
Disliked Toilets! Dirty & small. If toilet block could be installed it would be perfect

From the manager: Glad to see you had a great time.
We have a composting toilet, as stated on our description. Appreciate it's not the same as a permanent toilet block but it's simple not possible to build one here. Your point is taken nonetheless and we try to do the best with what we have.
Please come again, but note disposable barbecues are not allowed as they burn the grass. Expensive too, about £5, and for the same cost you can hire our fire pit and grill tray with as much wood as you like.

Liked Lovely cosy campsite with a nature reserve walk, a heated pool and your basic facilities. Harry was lovely made us feel very welcome and was super helpful. Was a lovely couple days away, would definitely visit again !
Disliked Only improvement i could think of would be having showers put in, toilets, sink etc. just so we can stay a bit longer as the rest was so nice.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Absolutely fabulous place for camping with kids. In hot days the pool is a game changer, amazing swings on long ropes, really big trampoline where even adults may have fun. Grass on camping field is short without any weeds, everywhere mostly level, a lot of trees which are perfect to protect from sun on early morning. Fully recommend
Very friendly and very nice owner.
