What customers say
This quiet, basic campsite offers a "wild camping" feel with stunning rural views. Campfires/BBQs allowed. Porta-loos and water dispenser available. Narrow access roads/bridge may challenge larger vehicles; alternative routes advised. Praised for peace & scenery, though some noted lack of drinking water & occasional shower issues.

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked The rural position. The small quiet feel of the campsite. Great for families, couples and solo campers who want a basic site. Good view with the campsite set on a small hill. 2 x portaloos, which were clean and always had loo roll.
Disliked The bins were emptied daily but could do with a couple more. Would be even better if it had drinking water.

Lovely basic campsite, (read the access and facilities info) worth it!
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Lots of space, dogs loved it. Views were amazing. Very basic but that’s in the description, two porta loos which are emptied and cleaned regularly (but still a bit manky, like most porta loos are lol).
Love that camp fires and bbq are allowed as can’t beat an evening sat by the fire enjoying the sunset.
Road in and out are a bit of an adventure on their own lol. We have a lwb high top transit. Wouldn’t want to attempt it in anything wider.
Definitely take note of the info on the booking site about which way to get to the site otherwise you will end up at a very narrow bridge.
Disliked Not a dislike just an observation. It’s on a hill (obviously lol) if it’s busy it can be a bit hard to find a good place to set up with out blocking people’s views. So just be mindful of this when deciding where to set up. Everyone is there to enjoy.

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Absolutely stunning views, full moon, no light pollution stars amazing. It was a clear night.
Disliked Once you’ve driven up the very narrow single track lane, which I encountered a tracker n van my car has a scratch all down one side now hopefully will tea cut out.
Please could the farmers cut back the hedges to allow for passing vehicles.
