Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Nice secluded area next to the river with table and fire pit area. The river and sauna were lovely. It was nice for a couple of nights but would be a prefect camping spot if the facilities were better!
Disliked: Quite overpriced at £20pppn for the lack of facilities as there are no showers, only 2 longdrops which were quite a walk from our camp and the drinking water was moved on the last night so had no access to water in the morning.

Liked: Loved the wide open spaces, the river, and the sauna.
Friendly atmosphere, nice owners. Very relaxed.
Beautiful surroundings and perfect for our needs - portaloo in field, shared spaces to escape from rain. No taps but water contained provided.
No signal at the camp which suited us fine as its nice to be off grid but worth being aware of
Disliked: Sauna not included in the cost of camping and this is not clear/obvious upon booking
Hot tub not in operation during our stay

Liked: Our recent stay at the campsite was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, Charles and his wife provided exceptional hospitality and made us feel right at home. With their warm and welcoming nature, they ensured that our stay was memorable and enjoyable. This review aims to highlight the incredible experience we had during our time at the campsite, the breathtaking surroundings, and the perfect opportunity it provided for us to disconnect from our digital lives and truly relax.
Exemplary Hosts:
First and foremost, I must commend Charles and his wife for their outstanding dedication to guest satisfaction. Throughout our stay, Charles frequently checked in on us to ensure that everything was to our liking. His genuine concern and willingness to go the extra mile made us feel valued and well-cared for. Moreover, he graciously shared his wealth of knowledge about the area, offering us fantastic recommendations for nearby attractions and places to visit. It was evident that Charles and his wife truly love what they do, and their passion for providing a remarkable camping experience shone through every interaction.
Tipi Living:
We opted to stay in one of the charming Tipis, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Nestled right by the soothing stream, the location couldn't have been more picturesque. The tranquil sounds of running water provided a soothing background soundtrack to our stay, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The Tipi itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. Although there was a slight discrepancy regarding the advertised bed, the king mattress provided was more than sufficient for a good night's sleep. In addition, the flashlight provided proved to be a useful amenity during the evenings.
Nature's Escape:
One of the most remarkable aspects of the campsite is its location in the heart of nature. Surrounded by lush greenery, towering trees, and breathtaking landscapes, the campsite offered a true escape from our busy lives. As soon as we arrived, we felt a sense of tranquility wash over us. With no Wi-Fi or mobile service, we were finally able to disconnect and immerse ourselves fully in the natural beauty that surrounded us. The absence of digital distractions allowed us to reconnect with nature, ourselves, and each other in ways that are often neglected in our daily routines.
Pet-Friendly Paradise:
Traveling with our beloved puppy made our stay even more enjoyable, and the campsite proved to be a pet-friendly paradise. Our furry friend had a fantastic time exploring the vast open spaces and splashing around in the nearby stream. The campsite's pet-friendly policy was accommodating and inclusive, ensuring that all members of our family had a wonderful experience. Seeing our puppy's joy and excitement as he discovered new sights and smells added an extra layer of happiness to our stay.
Activities and Adventures:
Beyond the enchanting campsite itself, Charles provided us with invaluable suggestions for nearby attractions and activities. We took full advantage of his recommendations and embarked on exciting adventures during our stay. From scenic hiking trails to picturesque viewpoints, we discovered hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. The campsite's location served as an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding areas, and we returned with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the natural wonders that lay just beyond our campsite.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, our experience at the campsite exceeded all expectations. The warmth and hospitality demonstrated by Charles and his wife left a lasting impression on us. Their attentive care, coupled with the idyllic surroundings and the opportunity to disconnect from the digital world, made our stay truly exceptional. The Tipi provided a cozy and comfortable retreat and a pet-friendly environment.
