What customers say
Highly recommended, peaceful, well-kept basic campsite. Spacious sites, clean composting toilets, fire pits, picnic tables, lovely rural views. Great for families and quiet getaways. Owners are a highlight. No showers yet, but not an issue for most. Some found it pricey with occasional plane noise.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful setting. Felt safe. Liked the picnic area with hay bales. Plenty of room for our little one to run around. Bonus that at the end of August we were the only ones at the site! Toilets clean and pleasant. You get both a beautiful sunrise and a sunset from the site!
Disliked Many many aeroplanes flying overhead which keeps a light sleeper up. The walk to Queniborough is along a main road and therefore isn’t easy with a child.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really nice little spot, good fire pit and clean toilets. They had soap, wipes and big bins so we dint have to take our rubbish home.
Disliked Nothing really.

Great, quiet getaway
Bell tent
Liked Lovely setting for the bell tent. Friendly owners who went above and beyond to help when we realised we'd forgotten our firewood so the kids still got to toast marshmallows.
Bell tent itself was fab, comfy and nice addition of a few boardgames. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. We went to the space centre which was super easy to get to and the kids (4 and 8) loved.
Disliked If we were going to stay longer than a couple of nights I'd want a shower but it was perfect for us for a short stay
