What customers say
This tranquil, eco-friendly site has stunning hillside views and roomy spots. Guests rave about the super friendly, helpful owners who keep the clean, basic facilities (showers, composting toilets) spotless. While remote, it's close to beaches and attractions. Some found directions tricky and a slope to facilities, but most loved the amazing location and warm vibe, many wanting to come back.

One of my favourite campsites of all time.
Power optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We booked this site at short notice and were really delighted when we got there. The views are fantastic. The site was having the grass cut as we got there and the owners both greeted us and gave us all the information we needed for our stay. They were really lovely and made us feel very welcome. The facilities are basic being an eco site but we still had everything required including warm shower, toilets and washing up station, honestly I loved every moment. Being a camper of over 30 years I think this is one of the best I have been to. I will definitely be back to stay again. I don't think there is WiFi but our phone worked fine even in the mountains, with the peaceful site and great setting you really didn't need it. The facilities were kept immaculate by the owners as they cleaned them regularly.

Liked Small, calm and quiet site with basic but clean facilities (hot water shower hut, compost toilet). Owners are friendly. Amazing location. The nearby hill fort and the higher hill next to it are well worth walking up.
