Dragonfly Camping

Gostou 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.

Gostou 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.

Gostou Plenty of pitch space, allowed campfires and gazebos.

Não gostou 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.

Do gestor: 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.

Gostou 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.

Não gostou Nothing, this is a fabulous place and we will definitely return.

Gostou 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.

Não gostou Nothing! All facilities did what they needed to do. The owner was super attentive and accommodating

Gostou Friendly Host, easy access to our pitch and perfect location in the orchard.
Very peaceful site surrounded by nature and nice communal area with decent toilet and shower facilities.
Orchard area has tap water and a compost toilet nearby

Não gostou The road in to the site is very bumpy but just drive slowly and it will be fine.
Compost toilet isn't great but saves a walk to the facilities.
