Lovely campsite that offers a little slice of joy!
Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The family who run the place are incredible! So friendly and kind. Made a massive effort to make us feel welcome and explain the site.
Not a massive site but that is to its benefit. Great location and gives access to a huge range of favourites. The Ship Inn in Wool is great and a lovely walk back.
Facilities were clean and never had any sign of use. I heartily recommend just hiring the fire pit and wood. The magic fire mix is worth the money on its own! Brilliant service!
No Wi-Fi on site but pressed the review button
Disliked I would say this campsite has everything you need but no extras. I love that but you should be aware. Also there are not numerous showers or toilets. It worked for us but if you are delicate about others it may not quite be for you. Just be realistic about what you want
