What customers say
A peaceful, remote spot with wild camping vibes & great hill views. Hosts are friendly, facilities (hot showers) are clean. Good for hiking, though pitches can be uneven and a washing-up sink would be handy.

Liked Owners were extremely friendly and the amenities on site (shower and toilet) were extremely clean and fully stocked with supplies. The view was beautiful and it was quiet with no disturbance. The owners suggested a nice little hike up to the tarn which was an easy hike which didn’t take long.

Beautiful campsite, will 100% be back.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked This was just like wild camping in a popular spot, with the nicest portaloos and the coolest shower set up. I’ll be coming back guaranteed! Lots of space to pitch up, not overcrowded, you feel very rural and out in the sticks, lots of local walks, and so many little details considered by the hosts to make basic amenities feel really nice.
Disliked Nothing! No washing up facilities (I knew this before coming), but for me that was no problem at all. Only a few pitches are perfectly flat, others are on a slight slant. There is one shower (hot!) , two portaloos, plenty drinking water, and a lovely spot at the top of the hill to read under a tree trunk canopy. No phone signal or WiFi (I loved this). No negatives just a few things to be aware of!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review — it really means a lot to us both!
We’re so glad you enjoyed the wild camping feel of the place, along with the little comforts we’ve tried to add. It’s always nice to hear when the small touches are noticed, as we put a lot of thought into them.
Thanks as well for sharing the practical details so honestly — it’s really helpful for other guests. We’re especially glad you enjoyed switching off a bit while you were here, that’s such a special part of it for us too.
We can wait to welcome you back!!!

Liked Great campsite, feels almost like wild camping as others said. Hot shower very nice to have there as well.
Was just a short stay for us, but would love to return as we didn't have much time to explore the area, but there are lots of routes around and some wild swimming not too far away too.
