Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: Wonderful clean field and pitches. Tidy and spacious site. Excellent facilities - best showers ever experienced on a camp site! Small but tidy cleaning/washing up facilities. Fridge, freezer and microwave for all to share and access. Intimate and exclusive feel as limited pitches. Will definitely book again - not only for next years Outlaw event (12 miles away & easily accessible) but for mini breaks this year. A little gem hidden away.
Disliked: Traffic occasionally noisy but didn’t really impact the stay.
