Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The secludedness. The play park for the kids. But most of all the owners. Rescued me in a time of need. My tent leaked last time in Cornwall and I hoped it was because I had made the inner skin touch the putter skin, but it wasn’t because we had waterfalls this time and the inner and outter weren’t touching at all. The lady lent me and my 5 children her caravan for the last night and how glad I was in the morning I took up the offer… it rained so hard that night. Thank you again for the kindness x
Disliked: I’ve used compost toilets before and I’m still trying to get my head around them.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: We absolutely love this campsite, it feels like a second home to us now. It suits us perfectly, quiet, isolated, not over crowded, amazing views but still only a short drive away from any of the amenities you could need and Will and Linda are the best hosts you could ever wish for.
Disliked: The weather, unfortunetly we had to leave earlier than planned due to our tent not surviving the heavy rain and strong winds, but we will be back next summer all being well.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Absolute gem of a place to stay. The most friendly owners. Loads of space to pitch, not on top of other people so really peaceful. Facilities are brilliant, amazing hot showers. Tucked away from the touristy places… but close enough so you can visit or get to them if you want to. We’ve stayed at so many campsites over the years and this one is definitely one we’ll revisit. Plenty of sunshine or shade depending on what you want, and toilets and showers are always clean. Exceptional value for money. Perfect for kids to run around in safety and play if that’s what you need too. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you for having us :-) Oh yes- and beautiful scenery to wake up to!
Disliked: Nothing at all. It’s superb.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: A lovely remote, quite place with great views. Went for some quite walks with the dogs. The hosts were both very friendly and we had a great chat with them both. You need to bring everything that you need as there is nothing near by, but this was not an issue as we picked a wild camping location so had everything. The site had all we needed, showers and a composting toilet and great views.
Disliked: Nothing, did what it said on the tin. Some of lower the pitch's are a bit steep, top level is fine.
