What customers say
Awesome views, heaps of space and a warm welcome. Quirky horse box showers and clean loos get a thumbs up. Relaxed vibe, fire pits and nearby pubs are a hit. Site's a bit sloped but mostly fine. Some noise heard but generally a peaceful, tidy spot.

Anonymous Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great location. Beautiful views. Campsite was clean and tidy. Showers were quirky and unique being in cattle trailers. Enough space to pitch up without feeling like you were encroaching on anyone else’s privacy. As we were there on a bank holiday there were pizza and ice cream van each night (not sure if this is usual) and the pizzas were lovely and cheap enough. Also. Lots of portaloos were dotted across the site so no one had to walk far for a toilet. (Again not sure if this is the norm or whether this is due to bank holiday). Loved our stay here. Would happily go again.
Disliked Only issue we had (which wasn’t the campsites fault) was people letting their kids play out at 6.30am running round tents shouting. But it’s kids being kids and no harm done.
Also. Just as a warning. As a tall guy the showers aren’t super big so be prepared to have to crane ur neck to get showered. But again. Tall people problems and not a campsite issue.
