Kedvelték Beautiful place, very friendly, helpful owners.
Simple, but more than adequate, super clean shower, toilet and washing facilities.

Kedvelték Throughly enjoyed, Gary and his partner were lovely! Left us to it but made sure the toilet and shower were stocked and clean.

Plenty of space, feels like your wild camping but with the luxury of your car being close, running hot water and a proper toilet.

Land was spacious and a great place for fire and a gathering with friends.

Signal was patchy depends who you were with and some bits had stronger connect than other but that adds to the experience.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you so much for your lovely review We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that you felt the balance of wild camping with those added comforts. It’s great to know the facilities and space worked well for you and your group. We appreciate your note about the signal – as you say, it can vary across the land, but many guests enjoy that little digital break. We’d love to welcome you back for another gathering around the fire anytime

Kedvelték This is such an awesome site! We were there early September mid week and had the place to ourselves. We found a lovely clearing in the trees to set up our tentbox. Campfire & chill. The owner Gary is lovely. We were fascinated about his career as a stone mason. Wood for the fire was free and Gary was kind enough to cut this up for us. Toilets and Showers were immaculate. Overall a very clever site giving you a genuine feel of being off grid, we shall be back, and soon we hope. Rob & Marie x

Kedvelték This is a quirky site, in a nice way, pitches set amongst the trees, couple of places for a campervan too.

Perfect as a stop off as it wasn't far from M5 M50 junction ready to head into Wales.

Kedvelték Absolute gem of a campsite. So glad we found this place. Friendly welcome and also a lovely little cat who enjoyed our company quite a lot. If you like a woodland, wild camping setting but want the luxury of a hot shower, a toilet and a washing up area then this is the place to go. Loads of walking in and around the area too.

Kedvelték Lovely wild camping site.
Owners very accommodating, friendly and laid back.

Clean and warm toilets and shower facility.
Plenty of fallen wood for campfires.

Nem kedvelték Its hard to avoid the drone of the motorway nearby but the many trees did a good job of absorbing the sound.

Kedvelték Rockridge is a proper back-to-basics site, in which the location owner will greet you with a warm welcome and shortly after inform you that you are free to set up camp on any part of the site that takes your fancy.

Once we informed Gary of the spot we had chosen he inspected the area and then told us he'd cut down some firewood for us, felling an ash tree nearby which provided us with ample firewood for our 2 night stay.

The facilities at the location are just what you need and more. I've never visited a campsite that had such a clean separate toilet and shower rooms properly insulated and protected from the outside, the materials for the toilet were also well stocked.

The campsite itself has a truly rustic feel that really gives one the sense you look for when wild camping, but with the added bonus of having a working toilet nearby. We pitched up in a grove of trees on the hillside and we never felt like we were in the nearby vicinity of any other campers.

Also, due to the slope of the hill on one side, the campsite is sheltered from the wind and the noise of the M5. During quiet moments it's possible to hear a quiet distant hum of the motorway but the rustling of the trees provides a much more appealing distraction

Nem kedvelték It's hard to find a criticism of the site. The only thing I could list would be a minor gripe that wasn't the fault of the site, but a fact of being in nature:

During our stay we ended up cooking quite late into the night and we were harassed by some hornets attracted by our bright headlamps. Fortunately no-one was stung. I mentioned this to the campsite owner Gary who said he would look into the situation and see what he could do. We did some research of our own and it seems that they were european hornets which are fairly typical of the area.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. I’m really glad you enjoyed the back-to-basics feel here at Rockridge, and it’s great to hear the facilities and your spot in the grove worked out well for you. Cutting that ash tree for your firewood was no trouble at all I’m pleased it kept you going for the stay!

I appreciate you mentioning the hornets too. They’re part of being out in nature, but I’ll keep an eye on things and see what I can do to make sure they don’t cause too much bother for future campers.

Also, thanks for the heads up about the entrance sign. I can see how that might’ve been confusing on arrival, so I’ll get onto making that clearer.

Hope to see you back here again sometime for another peaceful stay in the woods

Kedvelték Lovely welcoming owner. Great price! Lovely to be able to pitch wherever you like...like proper wild camping but with the bonus of a nice loo and shower!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed the freedom to pitch up wherever you like – it’s exactly the relaxed, wild-camping feel we want people to experience, with just a few added comforts. It was a pleasure having you stay, and we hope to welcome you back again soon

Kedvelték The welcome from Gary and his partner (sorry I didn’t cath your name) was fabulous.

The setting is beautiful, it’s a few acres of gentle hill with natural clearings big enough to pitch a tent throughout the site and the lower levels are perfect for vans.

The amenities are basic, but perfectly formed, you can grab a shower, go to the loo, and get fresh water which is just what we wanted for our wild camping experience.

Venturing out and about, the land is surrounded by interesting walks, we chose to walk up to the church aprox 1mile walk, it was perfectly tranquil, and just what you want from an off grid experience.

Nem kedvelték None - I’ve marked down wifi on my score, this is not a negative, there is no access to wifi, and nor should there be! Enjoy nature my friends :-)

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the welcome from Gary (and Marlene 😊). It’s great to know that the peaceful setting, natural pitches, and simple amenities provided just the right balance for your off-grid experience.

We’re especially pleased that you made the most of the local walks—visiting the church is a lovely way to take in the tranquility of the area. And thank you for highlighting the absence of Wi-Fi in such a positive way; we couldn’t agree more that it’s the perfect chance to switch off and enjoy nature.

We hope to welcome you back again
