What customers say
Handy spot near the M5. Owners are welcoming. Enjoyed the orchard pitches, some even got tasty apples! Facilities are basic (portaloo, water) but a shower block's coming. A few mentioned long grass or traffic noise, but most liked the chilled, rustic vibe and would come back.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Perfect site with toilet and solar shower. Ideal for a stop over.
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked We stayed here for a night to break up the journey from home to Devon the location is very convenient just few minutes from the M5. It was extremely peaceful considering its close to a main road. Very relaxed set up and the owners are very very nice and extremely helpful. Beautiful location with the pitches being between the apple trees which are also delicious. The site opens up onto a large meadow housing sheep. We will 100% be back to stay again.
Disliked Nothing we disliked on our stay. Cannot offer a rating on WiFi as we didn't need it and didn't ask if they supplied it.

Liked Lovely rustic site with camping bare essentials. Elaine and Les are great, friendly and flexible hosts who go out of their way to ensure your stay is the best it can be.
Perfect for short stays.
During the 30° heat there was sufficient shade to stay cool and drinking water readily available.
Disliked It is not the Ritz! Still in the early stages of development.

Liked Simple and straightforward campsite that was perfect for our weekend racing BMXs in Burnham. It had everything we needed. Host was very helpful and it was easy to find a nice flat spot to pitch the tent.
