A tidy, good-value spot with lovely views. Spacious, flat pitches with EHU & water. Friendly owners, great Wi-Fi. No loos/showers, but priced accordingly. Some mud/road noise mentioned, but most want to return.

Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked I had a fabulous stay at Aurthers Retreat with my dog. The owner Holly checked in at the beginning and was very kind and helpful. The pitches are spacious, elec & water & Wi-Fi including waste disposal. It is very quiet with lovely walks. It is an excellent spot for fully serviced tourers, inexpensive and peaceful. I have booked to return!

Good basic stop over for passing through with no facilities
Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked Available pitch at short notice. Price was very competitive. Staff seemed very friendly although we never actually met anyone. Nice Pond with ducks. Arrived late and left early so easy access to main roads. Perfect for a quick late night stop over.
Disliked No facilities at all. Not even toilets. Also road noise was quite high. Pitch was very soft despite being on stones. Front tyres sunk into ground

Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked Small, with eight pitches, all hard standing. No facilities, but has water and electric close to each pitch. Beautiful setting in the quiet countryside with a pond with wildfowl and nature. Adults only, so super peaceful and quiet. At £12.50 a night plus £5 for EHU, good value for money. The main things were the owners, Holly and her partner. Super friendly, really accommodating, and my dog fell in love with their son! Super relaxed site in a lovely country setting. I will definitely be back.

Great location, needs levelling but owners lovely and helpful.
Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked Lovely little site, nicely situated in beautiful countryside with a lake to view birds. Wild camping but with electric and water hook up - brilliant. It was close to lots of local attractions and having dogs loved Thetford Forest and, as detailed by owner, a walk at Thornham Walks which has childrens play areas, designated path or off the beaten track paths. A lovely cafe and nice feel.
As newer site was asked by owners for any feedback which I given below. Not a dislike just notes to help get it perfect! There were slight errors between booking with owners or PitchUp ie paying by cash on arrival or sending money to owners directly through bank which, of course, is much easier. This was remedied quickly by owners and they have said they are looking into this.
Disliked There was no specific drainage point for waste water. No recycling facilities. Not a problem to us, but wifi is not good however TV signal is great.

Excellent facilities with friendly staff and level pitches
Power optional concrete slab caravan site
Liked Well maintained small camp site set on a quit country lane. Small pond. Great bridle way walks across the fields for dogs. Hard standing with electric hook up and a tap for each stand. Has a picnic table for each site. Cctv in operation and owner available if needed.
Disliked Would be helpful for a path from road to toilet waste as grass is quite bumpy
