Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Beautiful and well equipped site, wonderfully managed, stunning views
Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked Draughton Heights Campsite was very well equipped. It made for a very comfortable stay.
The toilet and shower facilities were very clean. The communal kitchen had fridge freezers, washing machine and a tea/coffee station.
The campsite itself was cosy and beautiful. The three ponds were a delight. The fact that we could swim in them should we want to was a bonus! There were taps dotted around the campsite, so drinking water available everywhere. And the views from the campsite were breath-taking!
The owner was kind, warm and welcoming and he responded to our messages promptly in the run up to our arrival.
My husband and I have decided this campsite will be a regular spot for us going forward, and I think this place will be very hard to beat. We loved every second of our stay!
