Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker)
Liked The view from the campsite. It was beautiful, and at night there is very little light pollution, so it’s a good spot for stargazing. Liked how water is provided. Liked how close it is to Marsden train station, which means I could visit without having the car. Portaloos were clean. Campsite owner was responsive. Highlight was being able to hire a fire pit and all the bits and bobs needed for a fire. Brilliant stay.
Disliked Didn’t dislike anything.

Basic, good value for money, friendly owner
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Good value for money.
Lovely location.
Basic amenities (toilets and hand wash basins) were clean and easy to find.
Joe was really friendly and made the rounds of the tents making sure everyone was OK.
Complimentary bottled water was a nice touch.
Availability of individual fire pits and wood was good and reasonably priced.
Disliked Grass had been allowed to grow a bit long, which made finding a decent pitch on a sloping site a bit more difficult. Joe explained that the farmer who usually cuts this was sick, so not a major complaint from me.
The rubble pathway leading from parking area to the field could be a bit awkward in places, so some risk of a trip, particularly in the dark.
We stayed in midge season too. Again, not a complaint, just come prepared if you're staying when they're active.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker)
Liked Amazing views all round, great for walks and wast too hard to get to. Portable toilets very clean and well looked after. Water provided if needed. And parking was close to camping field.
Disliked Grass was too long to sit down but we have had bad rain prior to our stay so may be different summer time.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Good experience in comfortable May breeze at wild camping like site.
Despite no drinking water, only portable toilets, a few flat pitch, no car park by the tent and noisy neighbor, I really enjoyed the camping in the nature.
Sound of creek flow, mountain view, cracking sound of wood in bonfire, sheep visit in the morning and friendly owner Joe, all tranquilized me.
