An abundance of peace and quiet.

Friendly owner.
Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved being in the middle of the trees at night listening to owls etc. Reasonably sized pitches for tents and car parking. Friendly owner and helpful if we needed anything and showed us directly to where we were putting up our tent :)
Disliked Would like hot water on the campsite :)

Great for bikers
Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Peaceful, clean, secluded yet close to amenities. Toilet and water are available on-site. Great for bikers who want to try out their new camping gear and get a feel for wild camping.

Liked The forest floor pitch was beautiful, the toilet was kept very clean and smelled fresh. The water tap was a short walk away from the camping pitch giving a lot of privacy.

Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great site for minimalist camping. Quiet & lots of spaces to choose from. Just what we were looking for on an overnight SDW bike tour. Walked up to the Sportsman for good food & beer.

Lovely secluded site with a wild feel to it. The perfect quick stop.
Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Beautiful setting, quiet, with the closest to a "wild camping" feel I've had in this country. We were only stopping over for a night, so it was perfect for what we needed.
Disliked There isn't any signage out front, so the place was a bit tricky to find.

From the manager: The rating of 1/10 for child friendliness is irrelevant as this is an adults only site.
They arrived at 6.30 pm and left first thing so how can a 5/10 rating for facilities/ activities be relevant?
If they want to wild camp in a woodland why do they expect WiFi - we hardly have it in the house!

Non-electric forest floor tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I always wanted to have a delightful experience for my camping as it was my very first time in the UK. From the moment we arrived until our reluctant departure, every aspect contributed to a memorable getaway.
The camp setup was thoughtfully designed, striking a wonderful balance between being immersed in nature. Our pitch was spacious and well-maintained, providing ample room for our tent and gear without feeling cramped. The facilities, while basic as expected for a camp, were clean and easily accessible.. The overall ambience of the camp was incredibly peaceful, allowing for true relaxation and a genuine connection with the outdoors.
The entire stay felt like a much-needed reset. The day was spent exploring, taking a stroll to the nearest pub for a pint, and evenings were a tranquil affair, far removed from the usual hustle and bustle. As guests, we felt incredibly welcomed. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, making it easy to settle in and enjoy our surroundings.
The accessible paths directly from the camp were a highlight. We embarked on several walks for the day, offering a gentle stroll. The paths were easy.
The Host was simply welcoming. From the initial booking communication to our departure, they were incredibly responsive, helpful, and genuinely warm. They provided excellent local recommendations for walks and amenities, and were available to answer.
We left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated. Recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and authentic outdoor experience!
