What customers say
Swinsty View delivers a peaceful, back-to-basics camping experience with stunning natural scenery and abundant wildlife. Campers love the remote location, quiet atmosphere, and spacious sites. Portaloos are consistently noted as very clean and well-maintained, with running water now available. While facilities are limited, many feel the price is fair, and the site is highly recommended for a wild camping feel. Recent feedback confirms the field has been mowed, resolving prior grass length concerns.

Field full of poo
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful location
Disliked The whole field was covered in sheep poo. If you had children, they wouldn't be able to olay in the field. A very small and dirty wash station. Water tap not connected to water supply. Had to go to the farm house to ask for water. Cost £40 for 2 tents and very little facilities
