Primitive grass and gravel tent campsite
Liked: The area is nice and we had a lovely walk in woodlands close to the campsite.
Disliked: No running water. Very basic with a compost loo surrounded by stingy nettles. Few other guests but noisy drunkenness in the middle of the night. All pubs in the area closed at 6pm or didn't serve food on a bank holiday Sunday.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am sorry that you were not happy with the camping area. The area was topped and tidy with plenty of space to pitch tents in pleasant surroundings. There was running water on a stand pipe in the field and also by the farm shop, i am sorry if you were not made aware of this. We do state that it is basic camping and the compost toilet was easily accessible with a clear path strimmed and cut back in the orchard area. We do not state that we offer any activities or provisions for children so to give us 2 out of 10 for that is slightly unfair. We are a fully working farm that try to help keep the farm going with a little added income for camping. We are not a commercial campsite and do not claim to be.
