What customers say
Spacious, peaceful site with great views & flexible arrival/departure. Dog field a plus. Lacked drinking water & portaloos could be cleaner. Basic but good for a back-to-basics trip.

Good clean site. Basic facilities.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Unrestricted pitch sizes. Big open spaces, stunning views and dark skies allowed us to see the meteor shower.
Disliked It is high up (giving the stunning views) so was very windy our first night.
No open pub within walking distance as advertised.

It was very basic, but the location is gorgeous.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful view, loads of space, easy booking. Quiet and peaceful site.
Disliked Only 2 portaloo’s for the whole site, alcohol jel rather than running water to wash hands and the single shower for the site was grubby and the inner shower bit locked.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked It’s a lovely campsite, you’re free to put your tent out of the way so great for people who panic around other people! The owners are great our first night our new tent snapped and we could not use it so they allowed us to add an extra day on so we could go back home and come back the next day! Showers available however we did not use them! Only a 6 minute drive to shops where there is a co op if you need anything!

Quiet, relaxing and spacious
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Extremely spacious so you can have your pitch as large as you like. Basic but quiet and relaxing. Porta loos kept very clean and have loo roll and hand sanitiser. Dog field great for letting the pooch have a run. You are sent an email with a site map and check in instructions, which is self check in pick your own pitch no hassle.
Disliked Could do with spacing out the toilets but isn’t a mega issue.
