Powered grass campsite (sloping, adults only)
Liked: Contemplated giving this site 1 star, but only so it didn’t get busy. A beautiful, well equipped site in a fantastic location. Great for walking, running and mountain biking. No shortage of hot water in the modern shower block and an onsite cafe with great coffee. A*, will definitely be staying again soon!
Disliked: The electric pitches are sloping, but nothing that a good set of ramps can’t cure.

Powered grass campsite (sloping, adults only)
Liked: Beautifully presented and clean everywhere. Very impressed with the pitch size. Water easily accessible, and hookups clearly positioned. Toilet and shower block, always clean, and well stocked with decent loo roll and hand soap. Utility hut has 4 sink units, with plenty of hot water, a washing machine, microwave and a fridge/freezer. We had arranged to arrive after 6pm, we were left clear instructions for which pitch was ours, and a simple diagram showing how to get to it. The site is very quiet and peaceful. Plenty of birdsong to listen to, and lovely clear view of the stars, cloud permitting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we will definitely be returning.
