What customers say
A beautiful, well-kept campsite in a peaceful country setting with a relaxing vibe. Reviewers love the friendly owners, clean facilities, and handy honesty shop. The riverside spot is a highlight for views and activities. While generally great, some wished for more showers during busy times. Most highly recommend and want to return.

Nice location great facilities
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Nice owners, easy going site, excellent facilities, clean toilets, beautiful countryside. Recommend 100%.
Disliked Campers very friendly and respectful apart from some jock at the back of us playing loud moronic music, cracking cans all night.

Great site, great owners, great vibes.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Great site with very friendly owners, really peaceful and relaxed and lots of birds flying about to watch as you relax. Really clear sky for stargazing in the evening.
Facilities were absolutely spotless and there's great honesty fridge that is well stocked with the essentials and some luxuries. Pitches were really well spaced out, so when others were listening to music it didn't bother us at all. We will definitely be back!
Disliked Electric grass pitches are a little odd - we were in front of a static caravan not being used for the weekend. Not a problem at all, we had plenty of space and it was a great location, but is worth mentioning.

Perfect camping spot, peaceful relaxing and spotlessly clean
Bell tent
Liked This was our second visit and we plan to make this our annual trip. We chose to try out the teepee tent this time. So spacious and great value for money, took the stress out of setting up our tent and extra fun for the kids. The kids and adults all had a great time. The kids could just run and play in the field, we took outdoor games and there was lots of space. The adults could relax and just watch the kids have fun. The kids loved the honesty fridge, ice cream was a firm favourite. Spotlessly clean and everything you needed for a relaxed camping trip. Haven’t stopped telling friends and family about it!!

Loved it!!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely site, great amenities, very clean and very well maintained. Loved the honesty pantry, always well stocked and thoughtfully considered items.
Location next to River Wye is just wonderful.
Everyone we met were super friendly.
Disliked A few more showers would be ideal. Usually not a British problem… until there’s a heatwave 😎 camping area is quite open with limited shade for pitches.

Great place for a Tentbox stop
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Amazing host/owner, honesty small ‘shop’, location, price (value for money).
Disliked Only 2 showers (1 male only, 1 female only) but it is fine so minor point and didn’t stop a 10/10 rating!

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful setting by the river where we paddled every day. Honesty box shop was very useful. The campsite is sectioned into areas with trees and hedges so you have a lot of privacy and don't feel like you're on a big campsite.

Great site, very beautiful and chilled.
Powered grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This a really attractive site, well maintained by the owners. It has a relaxing countryside feel with lots of beautiful mature trees and plenty of wildlife. It also has a great riverside area to picnic, for kids to play or just to relax and take in the scenery. The owners are very friendly and super-helpful.
Disliked Granted we were there on a very hot and sunny bank holiday weekend, so the site was very busy (though also very calm and chilled). However, it's worth noting that there's only 1 male shower and one female shower on the site. It's quite a big site, so it could definitely do with more showers.
