What customers say
Beautiful, peaceful campsite with clean basic facilities. Owners are friendly & welcoming. Great location for walks to the Kilburn White Horse & pubs. Plenty of space, flat pitches. Some missed showers/washing up, but guests found it great value & highly recommended it. Some networks had no phone signal.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked Peaceful (unless cows mooing upsets you) and easy to find level pitches. Grass well kept and mowed. Toilets are fantastically clean and well stocked. If your looking for a basic but clean place to stop then look no further! Will be returning to explore the area more.

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely site, great outlook. We loved having the cows in the field next to us. We walked up to The White Horse and as it was the Kilburn Feast weekend, we visited there after a drink in The Forresters Arms. Biggest double cheeseburger ever at the Feast! Thanks for having us!
