What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with very friendly and helpful owners. Visitors praised the clean facilities, particularly the hot showers. The location offers beautiful views and is ideal for stargazing. While some found the facilities basic, most felt they were adequate for the price. The spacious field allows for flexible pitching, making it suitable for groups and families, though a designated dishwashing area would be a welcome addition for some.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely basic campsite. Owner was lovely, she even lent me a camping chair as my inflatable one burst!
Great location for a day out to Corbridge and a visit to Brockbushes farm
Good phone service
Lovely sunsets
Disliked Shower could have been cleaner, however I understand it will get muddy with being on a field.
A few wasps which were annoying however can’t be helped with the weather
Some noise from other campers late evening, this didn’t bother us but might for families.
The road works outside of the site were dangerous, there should be lights also at the gate of the site for people coming and going as we almost drove into oncoming traffic!, again no fault of the owner

Calm, peaceful and relaxing
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked An absolutely beautiful and peaceful site. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and welcoming and we thought it very reasonably priced. The facilities, whilst basic, were perfectly adequate for a back to basics family camping trip
Disliked Not a dislike as such but the entrance to the site was difficult to find from the road. This was perhaps down to the temporary traffic lights on the road which of course is not under the site managements control

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely owner, passing through while having a weekend touring on my motorbike.
Ideal location , lovely roads for biking.
The site had everything I needed .
You choose were to pitch.
Disliked A sign post highlighting the entrance.
Although to be fair there was road works directly outside the entrance that may have been obstructing any sighns.
I went in the wrong wrong gate ...and a lovely lady explained that I was actually on the farm any they don't have insurance to cover that..... There is wood and fire pits available, I noticed several other campers took advantage of that service.

Liked Setting and views .
Spacious plot and site.
Clean and well maintained.
Friendly, welcoming staff .
Disliked Lack of washing up facilities
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your review.
I appreciate that everyone is asking for dish washing facilities. But with it being a working farm and with the field being used for stock when the site is closed it's not easy to install and then move a sink. It's not something we can accommodate at the moment. I am so sorry.
Lovely small site with all you…
