Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Toilets and showers, fire pit. Provided eco friendly soap and washing up liquid, sinks were a good size and water hot enough. Owners really friendly and helpful. Really easy to get to, signposted off the closest B road. The kids play area was a lovely thoughtful touch as well.
Disliked: Being on a hill we did slip to the edge a bit, had to switch which end we slept in!

Lotus bell tent
Liked: This is an idyllic way to unwind - we stayed in the Lotus Belle which comes with everything bar towels, and a fully equipped kitchen, as well as logs for the fire pit.The site was uncrowded, the facilities spotless, with really lovely eco products provided for use. We felt very welcome; the owners showed us round, and were very helpful with local recommendations including swimming spots. There were even fresh flowers on the table in our tent. No pubs within walking distance but when you can sit by the fire with a glass of wine and a steak from the local butchers on the fire, watching kestrels chasing wildlife in the field and the stars come out, there are few better places to be. We could have played badminton or volleyball on the sports area but were just too chilled!

Liked: We absolutely loved our trip to Ruby Country Camping. Dinah and Marc were amazing hosts and gave us all the best experience. We stayed in the lotus belle and had everything we needed there for us. We particularly liked the open air shower and the children enjoyed the play area and stream. When we got home we booked another stay for later in the summer and already can’t wait to return!

Liked: Wow! This place was amazing, hosts Dinah and Marc were so welcoming and they keep the site spotless. We stayed in a yurt which was beautiful, the outdoor kitchen had everything you need. The children loved the play area, there are ball games and a swing plus a stream and a hammock, fantastic. Situated in a peaceful, beautiful meadow, if you really want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life this is the place!
