What customers say
Beautiful, peaceful campsite with spacious sites. Guests loved the reservoir for swimming/paddleboarding, friendly staff, fire pits, and nearby pub. Bucket showers/portaloos suited the "wild camping" vibe. Minor issues included slippery paths and toilet paper shortages, with management considering upgrades.

Tennis Wells primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Reservoir was really fun, kids had a great time. Atmosphere at camp site was very fily friendly. Staff super helpful. Aromatic leaves in the portable loos was a nice addition as they were quite smelly in the heat.
Disliked The bucket showers were very cold but that can't be helped.

A lovely stay!
Struttons primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Quiet campsite and great facilities
Disliked The water level in the lakes was a bit low which made it hard to get in and out. Maybe a floating jetty would be popular to allow people to get in and out without getting covered in clay!

Tennis Wells primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really lovely wild campsite. The facilities are basic but thought through to make the place feel very homely and cared for. The reservoir was wonderful and still had plenty of water in it for swimming and paddleboarding. The pub, walking distance, has beautiful views over the country side. Lots of great small touches for the kids to explore such as rope swings and hammocks. The team drove round every day selling wood or to answer any queries which was also really helpful.

Perfect stay, loved it all!
Struttons primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Myself, husband & children had the best time at Wild Combe Camping, the location is beautiful right next to woods & wild flower fields. The lake was low but still 5ft deep so perfect with paddle boards (I must say, take swim shoes as the clay around lake is very slippery with crocs & flip flops!) Lyndsay & team made us feel so welcome the whole time & we’re very helpful. Plenty of water available, outdoor showers very really a lovely experience & toilets extremely clean. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole stay & will be back again, for longer next time! Thanks very much x
Disliked Nothing, couldn’t fault it at all

Fabulous
Struttons primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We had an amazing time, we loved the novelty of the bucket showers and spent hours swimming and paddle boarding in the reservoir.
Met the host, Lyndsey I believe but I have a terrible memory, and she was lovely, very welcoming and informative and on hand if we needed anything.
Loved the 5 minute walk through the field to the pub for dinner. Can’t recommend it enough.

Great fun for the kids getting stuck into nature and a nice local pub
Struttons primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really friendly owners who welcomed you to the site and were very helpful if needed and completely non-intrusive during our stay. The water levels were low on the reservoir but that didn't stop us and the kids having lots of fun and get a bit mucky with the clay. Quiet campsite with tons of space. The loos are portaloos but we're kept clean throughout our stay and have some nice herb bunches so they weren't stinky! The hay bails and tree swings were also nice touches to keep kids entertained. Walk up to the pub was well signposted and the pub had great food.
Disliked There isn't a local shop within easy walking distance but that wasn't a big deal.
