This basic campsite boasts vast, open fields with spectacular views, perfect for families and those seeking peace. Visitors praise the friendly owner and clean facilities, though some note the lack of bins and the cold water-only shower. The price is considered high by some for the limited amenities.

Liked Second time at the campsite and again found it a great base! Lovely campsite with plenty of room for the kids to run round!
Famer is also fantastic and came and gave us a jump start when the battery died on my car! Thanks again for all your help!

Excellent site, clean and tidy and staff are spot on.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Location is handy but remote enough to go off grid for a couple of days. The guy that runs the site is spot on, we've stayed on the site a few times now. Great if u want to pitch up and chill and listen to the wildlife. Kids were amazed how close the sheep and lambs were coming. Advantage is the toilets are always clean and the site is always tidy.

Lovely campsite!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Absolutely loved this campsite!
Great location, and the fields are massive!
Very clean and tidy!
The farmer/owner was lovely aswell!
You are right next to a main road but honestly because the fields are that big you hardly notice the cars going by, we were the only ones camping there but even if there were a lot of people camping there is 4 different fields to choose from so you would never be on top of each other!
This camp site is a lovely little gem with 2 porter loos, a tap and a shower(cold water only as the hot wasn’t up and running yet, but we go camping all the time and always take body wipes etc as we like the idea of ruff camping(we don’t go camping to stay at the rits)
So peaceful and quiet and our kids 6,3 and 1 absolutely loved being able to run around and play football whenever they wanted.
Thanks again for a brilliant stay.
Disliked The only one thing I would have to say is it doesn’t have any bins so we did just have to leave our rubbish bagged up on the grass as we didn’t have enough room in our car to take it home with us.

Definitely booking again soon
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Quiet site not that far from the prom. Lovely big open space for kids to enjoy and run around, everyone on the site was really friendly and polite. The site did get busy but airshow was on and there was a car boot sale in the next field on Sunday morning which was great. The site is close to Tesco, a garage, home bargains and Asda.
Disliked The potholes that done my ankle in 🤣

Staff was friendly.
Dogs allowed.
Disliked I really didn’t like that the grass was cut short, it was literally a farmers field with grass that had just be trampled on to flatten. Made it hard work with young children as they kept falling over and wasn’t really able to play activities with them.
