Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Good value for money. Lovely location. Basic amenities (toilets and hand wash basins) were clean and easy to find. Joe was really friendly and made the rounds of the tents making sure everyone was OK. Complimentary bottled water was a nice touch. Availability of individual fire pits and wood was good and reasonably priced.
Disliked: Grass had been allowed to grow a bit long, which made finding a decent pitch on a sloping site a bit more difficult. Joe explained that the farmer who usually cuts this was sick, so not a major complaint from me. The rubble pathway leading from parking area to the field could be a bit awkward in places, so some risk of a trip, particularly in the dark. We stayed in midge season too. Again, not a complaint, just come prepared if you're staying when they're active.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Good experience in comfortable May breeze at wild camping like site. Despite no drinking water, only portable toilets, a few flat pitch, no car park by the tent and noisy neighbor, I really enjoyed the camping in the nature. Sound of creek flow, mountain view, cracking sound of wood in bonfire, sheep visit in the morning and friendly owner Joe, all tranquilized me.

Liked: We came as a trip away , we have been trying to find a nice campsite for a while which is safe but also private , Joe who owned the pitch was fantastic making sure we was ok and checking up on us , there is a portaloo on site for toilet facilities and the local town has everything you might need , amazing location and we are returning in two weeks time ! We also brought our dog who loved the open space and site , views are incredible around the area and we also chose to add a fire pit which was great at nighttime and Joe was great making sure we had enough wood , definitely recommend !
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Hi Kelly, thank you for your feedback - we have made improvements to the site this year - ensuring the toilets are more central to the camping field and ensuring the grass is freshly cut. We are a quiet, family friendly site and do our best to maintain this. We hope we get chance to welcome you again this season. Take care, Joe & Robyn
