What customers say
A lovely, tranquil spot with roomy sites & great, clean facilities (solar showers!). Praised for its rural moorland setting, friendly staff & cute farm animals. Campfires allowed. Some found roads narrow, staff scarce or noise from others a bother.

Nice place to stay
Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked Very nice Campsite with perfect facilities. Nicely situated on the moors.
Disliked Lack of control on where everyone pitched up. On a campsite like this you dont want your neighbours on a meter distance nor do you want people talking and laughing till 2 in the night.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site (no pets)
Liked The site was very well appointed and the facilities were excellent. The operators of the site were very relaxed but uphold the highest of standards. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy and I loved the fact that the showers were solar powered. It really was a wonderful stay and it proved rather near to everywhere we wanted to go. Would 100% come back. Thank you to the proprietors for keeping a really excellent campsite.

Gorgeous campsite! Has everything you need!
Unpowered grass tent or campervan site
Liked Beautiful campsite. It's quite remote, but has all the facilities you'd need. Campfires are allowed, which is a camping luxury on a site. We were in the dog field alone, so we could pitch anywhere.
There is a dog walking field, and plenty of bins dotted about the field (actually justifying an extra dog charge for a change).
Campfire stew and Dutch oven can be rented, which is a lovely addition!
There's a nice pub, about 30 minutes walk from the site, which was a good excuse to go out for a walk in the rain.
Safe to say, we will certainly be back!
Disliked (Being very picky...) Toilets on some of the fields further away would be helpful - but that's not always possible!
