What customers say
A top-rated wild camp with roomy spots, scenic views & a reservoir for swimming/paddleboarding. Guests love the peaceful vibe, fire pits & friendly owners. Facilities are basic (bucket showers, portaloos) but usually clean, though some found portaloos unpleasant when busy. Manager is looking into composting toilets & warmer showers.

Wild camping, wild swimming, this place is back to nature!
The Roughs primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Definitely a wild campsite! We had a great time here- the owners were very friendly and helpful. The reservoir was a great addition, despite the mud due to the long dry spell and then torrential rain, we loved swimming and paddle boarding. The pitches are generously sized and flexible. We bought logs for the fire, they were good quality.
It was quiet after 1030pm, and people seemed not to stir until about 8am which was good.
You can park right next to your tent.
Disliked The chemical toilets were not great- there were far too few for the amount of people, and despite the owners cleaning them multiple times a day, they were a bit grim. No water in them, just hand sanitiser which was pretty horrible.
The showers are adequate (bucket with a shower head), they’re outdoors, cold water and meagre water but better than no showers!
The access road is clay so incredibly slippery when wet.
Only one place to dispose of rubbish- on the opposite campsite.

Loos and Showers aside - we will still definitely be back next year!
Tennis Wells primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We stayed in the Tennis wells.
Lovely scenery, kids had a fantastic 'wild time' - they loved the little woodlands with swings an the hammocks scattered around. The haybales in the middle of the field were also a hit.
Had a great time on the hired SUP. With water low due to the drought was quite muddy at the edges but that just added to the fun tbh.
Pub across the field was gorgeous.
Fantastic and friendly service. Fynn and Harry (I hope I have their names right) were particularly brilliant!
Disliked The portaloo toilets and buckets showers were fine for a couple of days, but I think I would probably have liked a proper shower to stay longer than three nights (but that's just me - my boys didn't mind at all).

Tennis Wells primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The fields are lovely and spacious, the toilets are clean, the views are spectacular, the lake was amazing, we spent hours out there on kayaks, sup boards, inflatables and just swimming, it’s like a little slice of heaven!
Disliked The only thing I would recommend, and it’s not a dislike about the place, but a bucket shower by the lake to wash the clay off would be amazing, the clay is so thick and hard to get off if you could wash as soon as you got out of the lake it would make the experience even better.
