A relaxing campsite and Friendly staff
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite.
Toilet blocks were small but very clean.
Hosts were lovely.
We chose this place for its simplicity and to take our kids camping and escape from the rush of life. It was perfect for that, Kids loved being out and able to roam the campsite
From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to stay with us this July! 😊 We're really happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the simplicity of the site and that it offered the perfect escape from the rush of everyday life. It's wonderful to know the kids had fun exploring and roaming freely – that’s exactly the kind of relaxed, back-to-nature experience we aim to provide.
We’re also glad you found the toilet blocks clean and appreciated the friendliness of our team – that means a lot to us. Thank you for recommending us, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Warm wishes,
The Campsite Team
Level pitches, clean facilities, friendly informative staff,
Bell tent
Liked We stayed in the bell tent. The owners were lovely and let us on even though we had arrived a bit early. Honesty shop was a nice touch although we didnt need it, except when the kids realised there where ice creams :) facilities where kept nice a clean. The kids loved going down to the lake and having a paddle.
From the manager: Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We're really pleased you and your family had a great stay in the bell tent – and that we could welcome you even with your early arrival.
It’s always a pleasure to hear the kids enjoyed the lake and a good paddle – and we’re glad the ice creams in the honesty shop came to the rescue! We take pride in keeping our facilities clean and making guests feel at home, so your kind words mean a lot to us.
We’d love to welcome you all back again soon for more relaxing days and lakeside fun!
Warm regards,
The Campsite Team

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful well kept site with glorious views! Very tranquil. Great facilities and Adam was extremely welcoming and friendly!
Overall a lovely place to camp and we had a nice time.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Beautiful campsite and very well maintained. We loved the honesty shop and the location which was close to hay on wye as we went to the festival. It was idyllic but got a bit busy over the weekend which was probably due to school hols and it being bank holiday. Staff were very attentive and asked often how things were, they obviously take great pride in the site.
Disliked No wifi or tv signal but we managed to get around that.
Would definitely come back again.
