Liked: I stayed at this campsite, and it was really nice. The owner was lovely. The campsite is peaceful, and the amenities are basic but good. Plus, it's just a short drive to a great village pub and Derwent Reservoir for some outdoor fun. Highly recommend!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Hot water in the shower with a tap that stayed on was a big bonus. The water got hot quickly too. The field is large and spacious with picnic benches and fire pits you can hire/use. It has stunning views of farm land and we saw lots of wild birds. We got a clear night and it was dark enough to see lots of star..we were also luck enough for it to be a blue moon which was stunning to see. I had a good chat with the owner who was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us. I'd definitely recommend staying and plan to stay again in the future.
Disliked: My only reason for this not being five stars is that there wasn't really a designated washing up area which made it tricky for our stay. There was an outdoor cold water tap with clean water but it emptied directly onto the field. In the end I used the shower to wash up as it had hot running water. It did the job. The weather was against us on this visit and when we arrived it was really windy. The site is quite open and being a working farm doesn't have a tree line so the wind really blew through the field. Nothing can be done about that it's just worth noting In addition, due to all the wet weather the grass couldn't be cut. This meant it was just high enough to allow the wind to blow under the tent which was unpleasant. It's not the fault of the site owner who acknowledged this and was apologetic about it. If you are planning to camp as a family I would also not the road is a busy one. There is a gate to the field and the field is big enough to set up camp far from the road but if you have adventurous kids be cautious. I had no issues with my two and felt safe.
