Great spot, quiet & clean with top facilities. Friendly owners share local tips. Flat, spacious pitches. Pleasant walk to town. Guests loved the peace, cleanliness & value, keen to revisit. Just wished for covered eating spots. Road noise minimal.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Excellent site in lovely location with welcoming owners. Recommended.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely quiet site with very welcoming owners who were happy to provide a quick tour of facilities and local knowledge on where to eat. Facilities were good and kept nice and clean. Free hot shower without the need for tokens!
Disliked Quite a distance to walk into town, but food and drink available on the campsite so not really necessary to venture out. If I was being really picky, the communal fridge wasn't that cold - but I did visit during one of the hottest days of the year!

Excellent for tents
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked My third stay at Outdoors. Solo male traveller but don’t be misled by 2 people minimum booking, at this price you’re booking floor space and it’s good value at that!
I was in a tent and there’s enough flat space not to be waking up with your foot poking out in the morning. I was there in the latest thunderstorms and noticed how well drained the site was with the only puddles being on the tracks. Pretty amazing considering the rain we got.
A quiet spot too with most of the noise being made by animals and birds. Very little traffic noise except the odd tractor which just underscores you’re in farmland proper.
Kitted out for outdoor sports like kayaking but I didn’t (you wouldn’t get me out again) but lots of lovely local walks too. Me? I went for the books!
The management are super helpful and always on call. I found any comms were quick and clear.
There’s a cider bar which looked comfortable and inviting. The facilities are clean and fully functional and in sufficient quantity.
I’ve got my eye on a couple of the glamping options for if the tent isn’t an option for any reason.
The reason I gave it maximum score is that it isn’t pristine. It’s a working campsite with an environmental conscience. I’ve been to too many sites that are so antiseptic that it was unwelcoming. Outdoors feels like camping but you’re absolutely not roughing it.
Finally, it was good to see couples, families and groups all enjoying themselves.
Disliked Not much they can do about thunderstorms- I should’ve looked at the weather before I booked…
