Tennis Wells unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked the views / not crowed / the simplicity / the local pub / the lake or reservoir and surprisingly the buck shower, although they need to clean out the shower heads as it runs very slowly. And pleanty of space.....
Disliked none really except shower heads but that was very minor
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we're now thinking about a mesh top to the bucket shower to stop the leaves falling in!
Lovely campsite but expensive for minimal facilities.
The Roughs unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lots of space to camp. The reservoir was lovely. Very clean portaloos.

Liked Beautiful part of the Downs in walking distance to an excellent, family run pub. Lovely views, very peaceful, not too busy and plenty of space. We met the farm owner and she was lovely too! Our children loved the swings and playing in the woods. We would love to come back!
