Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)
Liked: I wish more sites were like this! Orchard setting with mown out paths and pitches was great, gives the pitches a lot of privacy and space and a sense of adventure. Facilities are obviously basic as expected for a 'wild' site, it isn't for everyone but the toilets were clean and the shower was warm and having no WiFi or phone reception was great!! Simon was really friendly and relaxed. Also a bonus of apples straight from the tree!
Disliked: Road noise, though we knew to expect this from the location and other reviews. Earplugs helped at night!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite (wild)
Liked: The campsite is a well carved out space with lots of blackberry bushes and apple trees making each pitch rather private, we were given the most tucked away spot in the site which gave the children the chance to roam a little without worry. The shower was perfect. Toilets were kept very clean and stocked up. I thought I’d be worried that the children would get bored without a play area. But with the setting as it is, the fruit picking, and the few activities we brought with us there was very little boredom. A great wild site and very well looked after by Simon.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Camping in the wilderness is always a 5 star experience. The site is well kept, inclusive and yet private, and overseen by the wonderful Simon. Local villages are Dark Skies so there is no light pollution, and there are many of activities and day trips in the local area. Always we'll be back every summer.
