Понравилось This is such a quirky campsite with loads of potential. We specifically chose it because we wanted our children, aged 7 and 9, to enjoy back-to-nature, off-grid camping. It was nice to choose our own spot rather than camping in marked pitches. The location is good too – it feels very rural, but there are pubs, garden centres and shops within a short drive. Having a picnic bench available near where we pitched up was really useful too. The portaloo was clean and there was always plenty of toilet paper. I also appreciated the clear signage explaining that fires weren't permitted because of the prolonged dry weather. Completely understandable and sensible. There was a phone number around the campsite to contact if needed. You find out own pitch and no one to meet you which was no problem for us. There are some genuinely interesting and unusual features around the site and woodland, and I can imagine how brilliant this place could be with a bit of attention and maintenance.

Не понравилось Unfortunately, the site didn't really match the impression given by the photos and felt overdue some TLC. The biggest disappointment was the woodland area. We'd been excited about letting the children explore fairly independently, but there were bottles/containers of chemicals, toilet bases, tools and various other items left around, so I didn't feel comfortable allowing them to roam without constantly supervising them. There were also two lorry backs containing various items and what looked as though it might once have been a stage, although it wasn't clear whether any of this was intended for guests to use. There was a forge and an unusual hanging frame in the woodland which could potentially be really fun if activities were running, but instead there were tools and equipment left around. The grass was also very long with ragwort growing amongst it. I'd particularly been looking forward to trying the quirky outdoor shower, but in reality it consisted of a rusty bucket, pulley and shower curtain. I actually loved the idea, but the amount of rust put us off using it. We also couldn't find any animals to pet as suggested, and the lake/pond wasn't accessible from the campsite. A simple welcome text before arrival would have made a big difference – just explaining where things were, what could and couldn't be used and how the site worked. We spent quite a lot of time wondering whether we'd missed something. There was also surprisingly loud bass music and lasers visible in the distance until around 1am, which was from Boomtown Festival. I appreciate this was almost certainly outside the campsite's control. It's a real shame because the basic concept is genuinely cool. I wasn't looking for luxury – the natural, off-grid, slightly eccentric experience was exactly what attracted us. With some clearing, maintenance, better information for guests and attention to the areas children can access, I think this could be a fantastic little campsite.
