Liked: We had a great time at Lower Ford. It was magical to hear the red deer bugling so close by and the views were amazing. Danny was so kind and helpful and went out of her way to give us tips and help us see the deer. I would thoroughly recommend this campsite!

Unpowered grass caravan site
Liked: Beautiful scenery, ideal location-remote but not too far to venture somewhere. The host was more than accommodating (we booked last minute and we're the only ones on site) so they quickly set the shower and environment back up for us. I love horses so this is based on a race yard so that was a bonus to have them grazing in the next field to look at. Amazing space.
Disliked: Their are only two points to make (more feedback than a dislike) It is quite costly to take the dog (£10 per dog) And the toilet could maybe do with a small solar light (but a good torch worked ok) its just we were in our converted van and don't have a toilet so early morning toilet need was a dark one :)

From the manager: Thank you for you comments 😊 We have taken note of your improvements and will sort prices and lighting as both valid points.
Quiet, Value for money, gorgeous views!

Bell tent
Liked: Lovely quiet camping area with gorgeous views & friendly horses. We love camping but wanted to try somewhere close to ‘test’ our 5 month old over night so we opted for the lovely bell tent. We were the only ones on site which was amazing if it didn’t go well & meant our toddler just run about for miles and burn off steam. Showers & toilet lovely and clean, nice hot shower & we met the owners who were both welcoming & helpful. Will stay again!
Disliked: If I had to give any constructive feedback, the beds are quite hard & no handle on the loo confused the toddler! Other than that, perfect ☺️
