Dragonfly Camping

A aimé We’ve just come home from the most wonderful stay and honestly already can’t wait to come back. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a little slice of heaven tucked away in the countryside. It has that peaceful wild camping feel whilst still having everything you need to be comfortable.

The whole site was beautifully quiet and relaxing with such a lovely cosy atmosphere. The toilets and showers were spotless at all times, which makes such a difference when camping. The owners were absolutely amazing and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us — you can really feel how much care and love they put into the place.

It’s also incredibly dog friendly, which made our stay even more special. Our dogs were just as happy as we were!

Honestly, the photos online don’t do this place justice at all. It’s one of those rare places that instantly makes you slow down and switch off from the outside world. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already planning our next visit.

We will 100% be staying again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful countryside escape.

A aimé Excellent campsite — we booked last minute and were so pleased we did! The atmosphere was incredibly friendly and relaxed. Despite there being dogs and horses around, the whole site felt calm and peaceful throughout our stay.

One of the things we loved most was the freedom to choose where to camp — we were told to “drive wherever and pick your spot,” which made it feel really laid-back and welcoming. We chose the open field, although the woodland area seemed a little busier and had a lovely atmosphere too.

The facilities were great: the showers were always hot, and the toilets were a really appreciated addition. There were also compost toilets conveniently located around the campsite.

What really made the stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and approachable. They regularly checked in to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves, and it was lovely seeing them genuinely having a good time too — it created such a warm and carefree vibe across the whole campsite. Not to mention the stunning views and we were bless with glorious weather.

We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back!

A aimé It was cold wet and windy when I arrived but I got a lovely welcome on arrival and help finding a sheltered pitch for the night.
Fire pits dotted all over in the sheltered area for people to use. Loved the quirky hang out area up near the house.
Short walk to a little bird reserve. Lots of footpath options in area.
I liked the wild camping feel but with a toilet seat. Toilet block is drop toilet in a little wooden hut lit by fairy lights. Clean and functional.

A aimé Lovely welcome and great communication. Flexible and accommodating. We were shown around and given options on where to stay and a little later we were very kindly brought a little lamp and torch for our comfort and convenience.
We will come again for a longer stay later in the summer.

20 mins from Seaham which was our destination for some beach wombling.

A aimé Plenty of pitch space, allowed campfires and gazebos.

N'a pas aimé Toilets and showers. Not clean, big hole in side of the shower building mean they were cold. Water was Luke warm. no hand washing after using bathroom bottle of hand gel on the side, no private area to get changed after shower.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Reall?
As for cleanliness, it’s an outdoor shower and toilet on a farm in the north east, a location which you chose. There’s a large sink in the doorway, no idea how anyone could miss it. To get changed after a shower the intelligent people just use the cubicle itself. It’s common sense. As for lukewarm water, we did notice that you were in there for a good 30/40 minutes, can’t have been so bad.
You did fail to mention the 2 bags of firewood that we gave you that we had hoped you were going to pay for before leaving.
Thanks for the feedback.

A aimé This is a lovely and friendly campsite. It doesn’t feel commercial and has retained a feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle and of being in nature. There are a variety of places to camp including a walnut orchard, large field, and two bell tents which we stayed in.

The tents are lovely, spacious and made for a cosy night. Because the site is large, it was easy to stay away from other people and we had a lovely quiet night. However, there are also communal seating areas where we sat with a couple of other campers and the manager for a couple of drinks.

In the morning we opened the doors to fabulous views and coffee on the decking. There is a bbq and sink next to the tent which is close to the amenity block. This is well equipped with couple of toilets and two hot showers and a sink.

The manager, Matt couldn’t do enough to settle us in, tell us about the local area and keep us supplied with logs for the fire pit which were £7 a bag.

The site is set within old woodland and there are lovely walks directly from the campsite. The beach is a 15 minute drive and there’s a pub a 20 minute walk away and a farm shop (perfect for bbq supplies) and cafe in the garden centre 20 minutes walk away or a short drive.

This is a quirky, laid back campsite with a lovely atmosphere and I will definitely return with my partner and would also come here with friends.

N'a pas aimé Nothing, this is a fabulous place and we will definitely return.

A aimé The owner was so friendly, welcoming and helpful! He really made our stay. We had the best time, the setting really makes you feel immersed in the experience of camping. Sorrounded by vast fields and animals. It was perfect. Lovely and peaceful but close by to a lovely local farm shop and not far from the local spar for supplies.

N'a pas aimé Nothing! All facilities did what they needed to do. The owner was super attentive and accommodating
