What customers say
This is a clean, well-maintained campsite with friendly owners and lovely views. Visitors praised the new and clean toilet and shower facilities, and the spacious bell tents. The alpacas were a highlight for many, especially families. While the site is generally quiet and peaceful, some noted occasional noise from a nearby main road. A lack of on-site electric hook-ups and a desire for a small tea/coffee shop were mentioned.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great site
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We were able to drive to our pitch and unload, but after that cars were parked in the car park. This was great as it meant you could play ball games ect on the site without the worry of hitting any cars. The space was great and not too overcrowded which meant we were able to set up badminton and play some camp games. We were also pleasantly surprised that the site had alpacas, these were cute. The facilities were adequate. We also managed to do a walk literally from the site on the last day without the need of driving which was great.
Disliked The showers were very temperamental in the sense that they were either freezing cold or boiling hot. We were able to manage with body showers, but hair washing was difficult. I'm not sure how you would manage with a young child.

Lovely campsite, having alpacas next to the field was a nice touch.
Bell tent
Liked The campsite was lovely and in a gorgeous location. It's quite small which I preferred because it meant it was pretty quiet. Having the alpacas next to the field was the best part!
The toilets were clean (apart from bins not being emptied). We would definitely come back again.
Disliked The only thing I would say is the bell tents were very close together. There's probably 1/1.5m between each tents guide ropes which doesn't provide much privacy or space to sit next to your tent. Fortunately there were only a couple of others there so it was okay, but I bet fully booked it would have been more difficult.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, and apologies the bins were not emptied more regularly, I have fed this back to the team!
Really nice small field for camping with the family.

Clean site with level pitches, very family friendly
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked New and clean facilities. Well kept ground. Easy to find and good facilities nearby. Alpacas were absolutely adorable!! Good communication from Dani. The pizza van on Friday was fab! Make sure you take a bbq or fire pit as there aren't made fire pits.
Disliked Wouldn't describe it as wild camping as you were assigned spaces and it was a well kept field. Not necessary a negative, just make sure you know what to expect as lots of families were there and felt less wild than we normally choose. Also there was no hot water at peak times, and a queue for the toilets/shower (this probably isn't normally an issue though!)

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, apologies if 'wild' camping was little misleading, allocating pitches has been a new thing this year to resolve some issues from last year and avoid a check in process. Hot water issue has now been fixed, we hope you look to visit again next year.

Absolutely no dislikes but definitely would recommend a play area.
Bell tent
Liked What a lovely place in a fantastic location! Our kids absolutely loved the freedom to roam, and the alpacas were a bonus 😍 🦙 The bell tents were spacious and comfortable, and the toilets were impressively clean. The owners were incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We’d definitely come back 🥰

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great central location for exploring. Loved the simplicity of the site. Lovely clean toilets and showers, owners there all the time cleaning and topping up! We messaged with questions and always got a fast reply. Loved the alpacas! Very neat site :)
Disliked Nothing that the campsite could fix, on a couple of busier nights people felt quite close! Maybe having some firewood on sale for campfires?!
