What customers say
Quiet, large campsite with welcoming hosts, especially Val. Guests liked the nature and nearby villages. Facilities are basic but clean, with upgrades planned. Some found traffic noise and limited loos/showers during peak times. Fire pits for hire.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















OK stay for a night or two, if you are not precious about facilities
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Fairly quiet, spacious stay. Lovely local pub down the road (1mile walk)
Disliked Only one toilet had a toilet seat out of the 2, and even that was broken! The shower was constantly locked after trying several times throughout our stay. Disappointing as we booked due to having these facilities.

From the manager: Hi Rebbecca sorry about your stay , when we opened on wed both toilet seats were intact as they had been done before opening i am very sorry about this .with it being busy and easter we could not get the plumber out they are now replaced with having the grass cut the amount of footfall made it inpossible to keep up with it but i assure you my husband tried many thanks for your feedback .Val x
Didn’t expect much for 20pn but usable facilities would have been nice
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Plenty of space to pitch up, beautiful dark skies for star gazing
Disliked Pitch near the road was noisy at night, showers had no privacy and drains were blocked and the neither of the 2 toilets had toilet seats or toilet roll.
Dogs off lead and load music from other campers

Recommended. Clean and level.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Big flat field. Can park next to pitch. Easy to find and well signposted. Friendly owner. Clean toilet block. Quiet (I was the only person staying) Hedges hide the field well from the passing cars. Horses in the next field. Lots of paths nearby.
Disliked Traffic noise as next to the road but luckily not many cars late at night. No footpath to the nearby village but not their fault. No phone signal at all.
