Power optional grass tent campsite
Liked: The facilities were good and clean. Showers hot and powerful. Pitches were spacious. We enjoyed it so much we even stayed an extra night!
Disliked: Car parking not ideal. We managed to park right in front of our tent, but others were having to carry their bags a bit of a way to their car. Thereâs a bit of noise from the main road, but it didnât really bother me or impact my stay. It may bother others.

Primitive grass tent campsite (riverside)
Liked: Managed to get a pitch right on the stream which was really nice. If you got a small tent then this is good. Larger tent you're set back slightly from the stream. Only downside is there's loads of "midges" flying about. There's a very clean and modern toilet block just back up on the road where you park. The lady that greeted me at reception is lovely. Friendly and very helpful. Smiling too considering how busy she was. Because of the weather (raining) I would have been confined to my tent and the Internet reception where my pitch was was non existent.
Disliked: You feel like you've left the A66 and headed away from the traffic but by the tim you've turned off and in to the campsite you're pretty much parallel with the A66 again and you can hear the traffic. This is if you've booked a riverside pitch. Shower block is back near reception which is a bit of a walk.

Liked: The views on this campsite are BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!! If youâre a sucker for a sunset view then itâs a must visit. The owners are helpful with local walks and the showers and toilets are always clean and well kept.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike regarding the campsite itself. However, given the vast amount of rain we had over our weekend stay, if the weather is not on your side⊠Iâd recommend taking a pair of wellies and plenty of changes of clothes as our pitch was extremely boggy with no authorised car access.
