What customers say
Pilsdon View is a grand spot for families, with hosts April and Terry getting rave reviews. Facilities are spotless and warm showers are a winner. Plenty of space, a peaceful vibe, and a tasty food van on site. Kids love the play areas and outdoor games. Just a bit tight for big vans on the way, but most want to come back.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everything, from the friendly welcome from April to the spacious site and ability to pitch where and how we wanted. Excellent clean facilities and hot water showers dotted around. Firepits provided for free with a bag of logs and kindling only costing £5. Food truck available for breakfast and early evening at very reasonable prices. Overall excellent value

Disliked Such a shame the site opens for such a short time
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for your visit and review. We usually open a couple of weeks before the school summer holidays then stay open until the schools go back, or a week after the Bank Holiday.
Fabulous site with friendly helpful staff. Loved the atmosphere too!!
Bell tent
Liked Very friendly and helpful. It was very relaxed and peaceful too. Eco ethos was a great touch and we felt like it kept us off our devices for a change!

From the manager: Thank you for your visit and review, good to hear you had some ‘unplugged’ time.
Extremely helpful hosts, lovely site, clean facilities, good showers
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked How friendly and helpful the hosts April and Terry are. Reasonably priced pitch and free fire pit hire when you buy firewood. Firewood, kindling and fire pit delivered by tractor. Showers perfect temperature for us.
Disliked Hubby would like a shelf in the shower to save him bending down
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for your visit, and for taking the time to write a review. We will look into providing a shelf or more storage solutions in the showers.
Brilliant site. We will definitely be back with friends.
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked The welcome, the food van, the flat pitches, the dog walking field, the park & tyre swing, plenty of space to play ball games, the showers, the loos, the friendly vibe created by the owners.
Disliked Nothing to dislike. The only teeny weeny thing that would have made it even better was to provide dog park type clips near the loos and wash up to park your dog!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you very much for your visit and very kind comments. We will look at providing a safe and secure way to park your dog near the facilities. Thank you for the positive feedback.

Bell tent
Liked How spacious the site was. Pre erected Bell tent option. Vegan breakfast options on site.
Disliked Lack of shade.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Many thanks for coming to stay in the bell tent and for taking the time to write a review. We pitch the bell tents in the open so they don’t get damaged by anything dropping out of the trees. It can mean they are in full sun during a heatwave. Our guests are very welcome to bring a shade tent or gazebo, or unzip and roll up the walls to allow air flow.
Excellent site!
Bell tent

From the manager: Many thanks for visiting and exploring the local countryside. Thank you for your lovely review, we will look forward to seeing you again.
