Liked Loved the back to basics 2 night camp in my tent... 1 tap, 1 shower hose, for washing up or to fill a bowl for washing etc.. no hot water.. 2 porter loos, no signal, just pure peace with out all the home comforts and hotel trimmings.. you can pick up 4g in the owners farm house driveway opposite the campsite, or by the telegraph pole at the top of the campsite.. If your looking for a posh shower block, or heated loos, this isnt for you... dont leave a bad review because you were expecting butlins... go and book a hotel.. or do your research first, its not fair on the owners, (who are lovely). This place is for outdoorsy people that want to be in nature camping around other quiet people, with the owls and the buzzards.. not a busy family site due to lack of facilities, it would not be entertaining for kids...but thats what i wanted. lovely scenic walks.. woods and reservoir not too far away.. if your looking for a safe place to pitch up for a quiet break away with running water and a toilet only.. this is your place, fires allowed 🔥👍 take a camp shower and pop up tent.. if staying more than a night.. boil your water if you want a hot wash etc... Loos are very clean, attended to daily and toilet roll is provided. It depends on what your looking for.. A quiet place to read or recharge then book it.. A holiday park with all amenities and entertainment.. its not for you, don't turn up then leave a bad review. 🤷‍♀️ Anything you need or even just a chat.. Sue the owner and her husband are lovely people and go above and beyond to make your stay as peaceful and accommodating as possible. A must for the solo campers or quiet peace seeking couples 😊 ⛺️ happy camping.

Disliked Nothing I didnt like, it was all as I expected.
