Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: Beautiful site. Well maintained. Lake swimming ( we also used the sauna) was a really lovely experience. The meadow is peaceful and magical to have a fire pit under the trees.
Disliked: not the nicest shower but currently increasing shower facilities

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: Lovely setting, excellent friendly staff. Idyllic swimming lakes. Large flat field. Plenty of space. We did have a lovely weekend stay, Swimming, Sauna (paid extra), local walk, running, pub. Would recommend the swimming, not camping.
Disliked: No tap, showers, toilets washing up, at the camp field. Significant walk to a small, shared block shared with day visitors. Only one shower! One washing up sink. The cost for this is far too high. The most expensive campsite I have ever stayed on. I have had better amenities on £5 a night farmer's field. My score is just for the camping and value for money.

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: Great pools, handsome & mature planting of trees and around the lakes and Meadow, relaxed admin, distance of Meadow from facilities, bird song, carp in ‘secret’ pool. Staff in café very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Rough roads, distance from Meadow to facilities (!), insufficient facilities (I can see new buildings being started though). Lake access points sometimes difficult for the aged & infirm, improvements would be welcome.

Meadow primitive grass tent or campervan campsite
Liked: Pool Bridge Farm is a very special place. It is a beautiful peaceful place to relax and unwind. The camping field was flat and dry surrounded by trees and birdsong. The swimming lakes that are included for camping are truly spectacular. So well kept with basic but great facilities. The saunas were also gorgeous.
Disliked: The camping field is due for a toilet and shower block soon. This will make a real difference as the water tap and showers are a long way from the campsite and the portaloos were dirty and smelly.

Liked: The camp is tranquil and I got to combine 2 hobbies at the same time wild swimming 🏊♂️ and camping 🏕 as iam new to the swimming part I found allmthe other participant's welcoming and had so much knowledge to share. A great 3 night break for me and my camping friend. Glad they are investing in both sides of my hobbies to make all stays e joyable for all. Loved that Jack the ja know joined us for hot chocolate and cake after our swim.
