Aug 2026

Liked The rural location was lovely and there weren't too many pitches. They were arranged in 3 tiers with big trees in between the tiers (about 6 pitches in each tier), so you weren't looking out on large numbers of other campers. Carolyn was really welcoming and helpful. The toilet/showers were always spotlessly clean and although there were only 3 unisex toilets (2 had showers) we didn't experience any queuing issues. There was also a pot washing facility (though it wasn't undercover) and rubbish bins and waste disposal (not listed on the website list of facilities). You could park next to your tent, so long as it was within your allotted space. My daughter loved seeing the horses. It was a really quiet site, although 2 pitches at the far end of our tier were playing music for a time that could be heard at our end.

Disliked The pitches weren't large and they were very close together indeed. Larger tents went pretty much right up to the next-door neighbours if they pitched sideways to put the car in front. Having said that, pretty much all campers were quiet and respectful, so there wasn't really any disturbance. We did take a windbreak to offer a bit of privacy between the pitches. There's no big open space for the kids to play - only what space is left on your own pitch.
