What customers say
Peaceful, back-to-basics spot with loads of space & great rural views, known for sunsets. Basic portaloos & water tap are fine for short stays. Quiet, good for walks, near a pub. Great value for a chilled, no-frills escape.

Anonymous Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Traditional field site with lovely views.
Lots & lots of space.
A couple of portacabins, a few water taps (not sure how many), & bins.
The Swan Inn a few yards down the lane.
Great location
Disliked Tap’s not clearly identified as drinking or non drinking - turned out to be drinking.
Not much shelter from aggressive sun.

Space, views, peaceful, pub, basic, no car needed
Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Space, peace and quiet, tents are not on top of each other. Also quiet enough halfway June, lovely horses in the fields next to us. Very basic facilities, just a field, a portaloo and a tap with a sink. Nice pub with friendly service is a 3 min walk. Plenty of walks from the campsite, no need for a car. Shipham is a 15 min walk away and has a butcher plus shop. And the views!
Disliked A few trees in the field would be nice

From the manager: Thank you so much for a great review. You actually read my mind about the trees, it’s been something we’ve talked about. Hopefully soon!
Lovely quite spot with great views and close to rowberrow warren.
Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Huge field and they only allow 20 pitches so lots of space. Children friendly and everyone is very respectful if they have dogs. Great walks in rowberrow warren a few minutes away without getting in the car.
Disliked None

Clean and well maintained, good location
Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Second stay at this site, exploring the surrounding area and nearby forest with my dog .
This site is very clean and well maintained. The porta loo was very clean and well stocked with essential items. The views are excellent whether enjoying your evening drinks and food as the sun sets or early morning cuppa.....there are two pubs very close by , walking distance,offering food and good quality beer if self catering isn't for you.
There was plenty of room for privacy and I found the other campers to be courteous and quiet. If you have a camp "bin" ensure it has a lid or is emptied at night due to scavenging wildlife. Good natured owner and friendly locals. planning to return.

From the manager: Thank you for a great review, apologies for the Portaloo situation, we do have two at busy times and we misjudged it this weekend. Hope it didn’t spoil your stay too much.
Great Site!
Unpowered grass and earth tent or motorhome site (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Lots of space and a lovely location. Great pubs nearby and really quiet!
Disliked Not a dislike- more toilets/ permanent toilets in the future would make this perfect. But given the price and location you really cant complain about anything!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you so much for a great review. The toilets are always something we assess but we have to weigh up the cost against raising prices. I understand the toilets aren’t ideal but I can assure we are constantly reviewing this. Glad you enjoyed the peace, and the pubs!
