Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Nice, flat field. Welcoming owner, Laury. Quiet site, just lovely bird song. Very clean toilets and cute flowerbed. Use of fire pit and logs. Good walks straight from the campsite. We enjoyed the Rivington brewery walk and the local Masons Arms pub, friendly and good beers.
Disliked Some motorway noise, but it didn’t disturb us. No showers or washing up facilities but that’s fine just for a weekend.

Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked Spacious, flat and quiet camping area. Lots of room to pitch and didn't feel too close to other campers. Toilets are clean and tidy. Friendly hosts too.
Primrose Cottage campsite is in an excellent location for country walks and more demanding hikes into the surrounding west Pennine Moors directly from the campsite. Brilliant local pub (Lock n Quay) that does excellent food. This campsite is a hidden gem
