What customers say
Peaceful, scenic site, great for families. Staff friendly, farm shop/cafe excellent, play park a hit. Enjoyed fire pits & walks. Basic facilities, a bit of a trek for some. Some found it busy, minor pitch levelling issues noted.

It was myself and 2 kids (5 & 11) ill be coming back 100%
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Pillars of Hercules was an amazing place. The setting was spot on. With walks and trails including the walk to Maspie Den which me and my kids both loved. The site itself is clean and welcoming with great facilities. Great size pitches that are clearly marked.
The park, shop and cafe are all fantastic aswel. It was a long drive with issues on the M6 heading up but all that stress melted away once we arrived and setup.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked A very nice camping. Good veggie food and hot beverages at the cafe. A long walk to the toilets though - a pity it was all booked and we could not stay longer.

Great location with shop on site, toilet and shower facilities lacking
Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked Beautiful location with mountain views
Farm shop on site was useful, with cafe as well not that I tried it.
Value for money as very cheap to stay
Disliked Facilities were limited particularly showers and toilets, the gents shower room and toilet cubicle doors were jammed preventing use when I was there, leaving the only option of a single disabled toilet/shower which catered for everybody staying on the site.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass campervan pitch
Liked Cafe and shop
Disliked Layout of plots isn't clear. We paid for a hardstanding plot, but it was fully grass. The toilets were a little messy.

Lovely camp site with good amenities in a picturesque setting.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Excellent site in a picturesque setting. Fire pits are a nice added touch for the kids to toast some marshmallows!
Disliked I booked via pitchup and was therefore not aware that the cooked breakfast in the cafe the next morning had to be pre booked the night before so worth making others aware of that if you fancy the cooked breakfast! Other smaller options were however available to order on the day.
