What customers say
This quiet, tidy spot has roomy sites, clean facilities (solar showers!), and a relaxed vibe. Loved the rural moor location for walks and the farm animals. Great food and play areas were a bonus, though toilets were a bit of a trek for some. Management's listened to feedback.

Liked Everything about this place! Plenty of space, peace and quiet, clean toilets, showers and lots of extras like lockers for charging phones etc, laundry and fridge / freezer should you need them.
One of the best things we enjoyed was being able to have a campfire, wood and kindling available to buy here too!
We loved the morning visit from the chickens 🐔 😀
Disliked Nothing.

Liked It’s rather quirky which I love. The lady in the reception was so lovely and we ended up dancing with my tent, let me explain I rocked up straight from work eagerly wanting to pitch and eat my tea. Sign said pitch and see reception so I pitched my tent, but on the way to reception realised my mistake and there was a field especially for dog owners further back. So myself and the lady moved all my gear to the right area. There was an exercise field for the dog too. It’s a lovely campsite
I’d recommend it to friends without dogs or in a group of people
Disliked Unable to take dog on foot to facilitates, being a solo camper, my dog goes everywhere with me.
I drove to the toilet one day as asked so she didn’t roam, I wanted a shower but she barked. So I opted for the toilet which are in two separate areas. My dog barked again and set of the farmers dog, he came out not best pleased. A dog is communicating that’s them talking in my view but get that the whole having campers dogs is fairly new to them and it’s a working farm.
Thankfully I had a eco toilet but went without a shower as my dog so clingy, also on foot with a dog I had to use the back entrance onto the moor.
While it’s a lovely campsite I feel it isn’t for me I go camping to meet people and experience the full pleasure of the campsite life and sadly didn’t feel this here. I actually felt really alone and might as well have just camped in the farmers field behind my house.
I can’t really rate highly facilities or activities but I’m sure they are very good

Yurt (four person)
Liked What an amazing little gem!
We stayed in a yurt with our 2 girls )4 and 6) and we all had the best time!
Facilities are clean and thought out, playgrounds and farm animals were lovely, the girls had the best time! Really enjoyed driving and walking on the Moore, animal spotting, wild swimming, back in touch with nature!
Will 100% be coming back.

Liked Second visit, brought the family this time. Cannot fault this campsite, it is just perfect and really enjoyed doing the circular walk again. As with my first visit, the evening campsite inspection from the ducks is just the best! And it's so lovely watching the chickens too.Used the showers this time - immaculately clean, perfect temperature, very spacious.

Liked Friendly and helpful staff. Great facilities. Never a cold shower. Lots of space. Large hedges make fields feel very private. Views are amazing. Kids loved the wandering animals, play barn and play area at reception. We loved the short walk to the temperate rainforest.

Liked This is the best value for money campsite I've found and I can't recommend it highly enough! Immaculate facilities and thoughtful additions such as a microwave, fridge freezer, washing machine and phone charging available at a small cost.
Wide open spaces and hedgerows for wind protection. The 4km circular walk with directions on the website was stunning.
The highlight of my stay was when the group of ducks came round the field to inspect everyone's tents - so adorable!
Felt totally safe as a solo camper and will 100% be back!

Liked This is the second time we have been here and we love it. It's a laid back campsite. Very clean facilities. Family friendly. My daughter cried as we left as she didn't want to go home. Going to rebook it for later in the year.

Liked Absolutely perfect stay once again. Facilities are very clean, we used the added benefit of the charging locker, fridge and freezer ( well needed in this weather.) My two schnauzers enjoyed exploring the dog exercise field and had a lovely walk down to the blisland inn. loved watching the ducks explore our field everyday. The mutton sausages and burgers were so yummy I bought some extra home with me. Thankyou once again we will definitely be back.
