Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet and feels off grid and wild. 4 Portaloos which were the cleanest i've had all summer. Plus a very good shower available for very fair £2. Lovely chap on site always seemed available for directions or help. Walkable to many things, including 3 pubs, bodiam castle, the steam train, the river for kayaking or paddleboarding, and the hub cafe. Really lovely countryside - went out for a few hours and barely saw another person! true off grid heaven.

Disliked: Can't say I disliked anything, but maybe somewhere to wash up pots would be handy.

Liked: Lovely view over fields and Bodiam castle in the distance.

Disliked: The field was 80% overgrown spikey weeds so there wasn't much room for the kids to run free or ride their bikes. Also, for a rural camping experience the pitches were a bit too close.
