Liked: The isolation and the closest feeling of wild camping we have experienced yet. The forest is well maintained but appears untouched by man. Once you are in the pitch you feel all alone and wouldn't know that anyone is nearby.
Having young children was made easier with the on site toilets and sink for easier cleaning . 10/10 recommend.

Liked: Great setting in woodland. Private pitch evenly distanced away from guests. Great location close to lots of ammenities and places to visit. Lots of wildlife caught on my sons trail camera. Toilets clean and well maintained. Friendly helpful staff. Loaned us a cooker after we forgot our connector and helped us to find somewhere to buy a new connector. Enjoyed the hammocks and great to be allowed a campfire. Rules very clear but staff were not intrusive and very relaxed as long as you do what they ask which is all reasonable. Good value for money. Dog and child friendly. Kids recieved a little activity pack and could find allocated sticks to make dens. Definitely will return.
Disliked: Cold water and no shower but this is really clear when you book. Didn't bother us but may if it is a longer stay and the weather is poor. Campsite pitches are a distance from car but again this is clearly explained and one of the things we appreciated. Wheel barrows available to assist. Tight car park spaces but sufficient as long as others are considerate and keep to their bay. No bad points just be aware of what to expect before you go.

Liked: Sleeping out in a hammock! Wonderful experience.
This place prioritises the natural world and I loved the experience of existing, even for a short time, as a human minority in a natural model.
Disliked: Honestly, nothing! Even with nights at 3°, it was magical and cosy.

Liked: The walls available and camping in the Forrest was lovely. Had our own space to explore and didn’t feel like we was camping right on top of someone else.
Disliked: Wished they had a shower bit this was clear on their site so we was aware of this.

Liked: Like the area, was peaceful and quite,out of the way . Owner was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and campsite . facility's was A+ best we've seen at a site.
Induction and fire training were easy to understand and didn't take to long .
Site has many pitches for different size tent , some in open areas and some in more sheltered areas .
Getting to chose when we pitched up was great .
Is a know dog walking route but was told if getting disturbed then they close the dog walking route up , this was great to know .
Disliked: Nothing that comes to mind

Liked: On arrival we were met, guided to out parking space and taken through the ethos and how tos of the campsite which was really helpful and made us feel comfortable in our stay.
The site is in a lovely woodland woth beautiful views to the surroundings from the nearby footpaths. The pitches are generously spaced out so there is minimum disturbance from any other campers. All round a very easy and unique campsite.
