What customers say
Popular for wild camping, it's peaceful with spacious pitches, campfires & BBQs. Owners are friendly, entry is secure, and it's close to amenities. Great for a natural, relaxed trip, though facilities are basic (one portaloo) and bin areas can be untidy.

Lovely little site definitely be back
Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked The fact that is a wild camping site was perfect for me and my grandson, he had a great time helping me gather wood for a fire and helping with other tasks and for his 1st time camping he loved it
Disliked Cut wood for fires could be a bit smaller
We had an issue with noise from some older teenagers on site, messaged the site owner and the issue was sorted out very quickly 10 out of 10 and issue was NOT the fault in any way of the site owner and was delt with very promptly

From the manager: Thank you for your booking and your kind review . It’s very unfortunate the young people showed themselves up but we won’t tolerate this as we thankfully have such lovely people here. Their behaviour was very unfortunate and are now banned.
So glad your little guy had fun

Liked Quiet, plenty space. Forest full of wood that was cut for fire. Park anywhere u wish. I had the tenbox and a living tent next to us. Drinking water tap also onsite. Secure site with electric gate locked at night.
Disliked Only downside was the portaloo. It was clean when we arrived Tuesday afternoon. But by Wednesday morning it was very unhygienic. Was only 3 camper vans and 3 tents including us. Not sure if someone had a bad belly but it was me I would not have left it in such a mess…. If I comeback I will bring a portable folding toilet for the kids. Was the only downside but I suppose it’s basically wild camping

From the manager: Thank you very much for your lovely review & booking. Unfortunately the portaloo is ongoing issue as it was professionally services on Tuesday & we clean it daily. Wild camping only needed one last year and they are a big expense too. I really appreciate your booking & glad you enjoyed the wood that was chopped x

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Travelled with my husband and 2 children (7 and 11). The location was excellent, feels like you're in the middle of nowhere however, local amenities are just a 5 minute drive away. There is plenty of space for the children to run around and they had a great time collecting wood (already chopped) for the fire. There are animals roaming, my girls really liked to watch the peacock. The highlight of the trip was my daughters getting to see and interact with the horses. Although these are personal horses and this is not part of the camping experience, Louise and her daughter Anya were really welcoming and allowed my girls to have a small ride around the paddock. I would definitely recommend this site for a family friendly off grid experience.

From the manager: Hi sorry you did not enjoy the wild camp. There is no facilities as clearly stated on the wild camping listing. There is a tap . You were sent a text message on Thursday prior to your check in on Friday which unfortunately you didn’t read by driving to the wrong place .
“Please close the double wooden gates (please close after you as we have several dogs)…..
Please don't approach the house as there are a number of dogs just text or call & we will come no problem … Theres a water tap behind the riding arena. Just text if you would like to drink bottle water and we will bring some but there is a tap cold water hose…”
We could have brought you bottled water as much as you liked & by not closing the gate Laura likes to visit people & in the main most repeat guests love Laura she’s a very quiet little dog who has had a very sad life. She’s most certainly not a stray & most enjoy seeing her .
Sorry you didn’t enjoy the wild camp
