What customers say
Friendly, family-run site with stunning views. Praised for spacious pitches, great cafe, and kids' entertainment (play barn, farm animals). Facilities generally clean, though some noted inconsistent shower temps, scarce hot water for washing, and limited loos/showers during peak times. Site's being developed with more planned.

Down on the campsite … please come again
Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked This is a lovely site either with very friendly staff, we stayed one night after randomly driving past the site a few weeks ago . There was a lot of wildlife which is helped by the wildlife pond and we loved saying hello to the farm animals . The site was clean and had recycling facilities.
Disliked Lots of queues for the toilets due to their shower/toilet set up and I couldn’t figure out if there was supposed to be hot water at the dish washing station or not . However it was a minor inconvenience as the weather and views were amazing

From the manager: We're pleased you enjoyed your stay.
There is normally hot water in the washing up station, so if you didn't have any when you went.
There isn't normally a queue for the toilets, sorry to hear that was the case for you.

Liked - Play barn was great for the kids.
- Peaceful location
- Cafe on site is a great option
- Staff were always very lovely and polite
- Kids loved the goats!
- Basketball and Swing Ball in the yard was a nice touch
Disliked - Play barn is not free for on site campers (£2.50 per child per day)
- Site is on a fairly steep hill
- There is only 2 showers for the entire site and there is often a queue.
- There is only 1 toilet available if the on site cafe is closed and the showers are in use (a toilet is also in each shower block).
- The elsan point is an approx 400m walk to the very near the site entrance.
- Very quite area which we found a little quite with not much to do.
- I don't think there was an on site small shop with essentials such as milk, bread etc

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked The campsite was probably one of the best ones I have stayed at so far. The campground is large, with lots of spots to pick from, not to mention the nice pond in the middle which really adds to the experience. The cafeteria is such a nice addition and the owners are absolutely lovely, very accommodating and friendly. We were camping during the France England World Cup Match so they kept the bar open until the end of the match which was way past the closing time for the campers to come in and watch. The prices were very decent in my opinion and the bathrooms were also some of the best we’ve seen at any campsite. They had a children’s play area and some outdoor toys for them to enjoy too as well as some farm animals that the children could walk up to. Couldn’t recommend it enough and we will definitely be coming back
Disliked The only thing I would maybe add is an extra shower considering the amount of people that were there on the weekend.

Excellent value, great staff, great campsite, would stay again
Anonymous Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Very friendly staff, very welcoming
Goats were a unique touch
The lake at the bottom is peaceful
Aerobatic planes fly over
Good quality land to pitch on, spacious
Showers and toilets were clean, not hot but not freezing cold, lukewarm which is fine for the peak of summer only, however a lack of them
Great value for price comparing to other sites
Disliked Not enough showers or toilets to meet demand - two showers for a large camp site is not enough. Three toilets during working hours (of which two are in the shower) is not enough. Showers need to be warmer.
