What customers say
Top spot for peace, privacy & nature. Spacious, secluded pitches with water, tables, fire pits. Loved the river beach (swimming/kayaking) & wildlife. Facilities clean, compost loos & hot showers. Watch out for bumpy pitches & chilly showers sometimes.

Fab location!
Unpowered grass and earth tent site (woodland)
Liked Everything! We have been coming here every year for a while now. Beautiful surroundings, nice and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing break with the kids, who also love it here. We especially enjoyed Matilda's cake shack in the village! Hopefully the pub will be open again for our next visit. Really friendly and helpful owners too!
Disliked Absolutely nothing.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (woodland)
Liked Wonderful gem of a campsite, each pitch has its own little clearing amongst the trees, feels very secluded and means you don’t/rarely see the other campers. Each pitch has its own water tap, table and fire pit - very convenient and the fire pit is a great touch and fantastic to sit around at night (plus reasonably priced logs available to buy on-site too). Owner is very friendly & polite, the Eco-toilets are surprisingly clean/odourless and well looked after. The campsite is surrounded by beautiful, quiet countryside far away from any habitation and a few mins walk down a private track to the river beach/shoreline, all making this a magical camping experience. Definitely coming back here again!

Liked Location of site - not so difficult to get to but it felt wonderfully remote
Simplicity and size - everything worked well, we were hardly aware of other people due to spaciousness and care taken in layout
Blackberry heaven!

Unpowered grass and earth tent site (woodland)
Liked A wonderful setting on the estuary with large, secluded, open woodland pitches, each with its own tap. Not a campsite with lots of silly and fiddly rules. Really easy going and relaxing in a beautiful place 💕

Liked Beautifully laid out pitches in separate spaces surrounded by firs and blackberries with a tap and fire pit each. Simple and good toilets and shower. Lovely walk to river. Tranquil and peaceful.

Hidden gem
Unpowered grass and earth tent site (woodland)
Liked Hidden gem!!
Absolutely beautiful site. So private and generally peaceful. A stones throw from the river beach where we enjoyed some time on the water paddleboarding. The lay out of the pitches are very private and offered a huge amount of space to set up our little home from home.
Dark sky area with the Milky Way visable. The wildlife was plentiful with owls, foxes, hares and wild geese. A beautiful area to reconnect with nature and be at one with the earth.
We shall definitely be returning with our grandchildren next year.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
Disliked Unfortunately, on our arrival and continuing into the next day there were a very large group of people that had been allowed to set up camp in the field opposite the main site itself. They even had two cars of guests which left later in the evening.
They were extremely loud - screaming, shouting and riding quad bikes on the field for hours and hours on end. This absolutely ruined the peace and tranquillity of this sites and it's try essence.
My advice is to keep the site as low profile as possible. It is perfect the way it is!
It would be such a shame to lose your wonderful reviews by allowing large parties like that to disturb everyone's peace.
