Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Really nice field with great pitches. Lots of space away from other campers. Great instructions and directions sent through prior to our arrival.
Disliked: Only 1 portaloo that doesn’t flush well and was quite dirty at times. Understand this is what you get at a basic site but maybe another toilet would be good.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your comments, maybe need to look at composting toilets! Portaloos difficult to manage.
Pitched up right at the end so felt very quiet and private

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Open field, very few other campers and exactly as described. Back to basics camping, friendly supportive owner. Simply a very quiet field with mown areas for tent at a decent distance from other tents...50m minimum. And a portaloo. Great garden centre/animal farm/falconry and farmshop nearby. Canoeing on Thames 20 mins drive away.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: Peaceful Lots of wildlife - incredible birds / a deer / hare / fox! Really spacious campsite - plenty of space for several tents round a campfire on one pitch Clear instructions for reaching the site and settling in Clean portaloo provided with toilet paper No frills but that's what we wanted :)
Disliked: It would great if there was a source of drinking water on site - make sure you bring some with you. They provide some bottled water but it's sat outside in a clear plastic container so not recommended to drink.

From the manager: Hi, Thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed your stay with the varied wildlife!. I would like to provide running water but the cost is prohibitive due to the site location. The closest running water is a mile away.
I like the place. It's a field next to river Ock. It's…

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch
Liked: I like the place. It's a field next to river Ock. It's very quiet there.There is a toilet. But there is no other facilities. The landlord is friendly and provided fresh water which was actually everything we needed. We had no problems in finding a flat surface to set up a tent. It's a perfect place for people looking for space to take a breath, go for a walk etc.

From the manager: Hi, Thank you for your review and glad your stay was enjoyable.
Pop up site with clean portaloo, emergency water, well spaced pitches
