Liked: Simple and straightforward campsite that was perfect for our weekend racing BMXs in Burnham. It had everything we needed. Host was very helpful and it was easy to find a nice flat spot to pitch the tent.
We will book again next time :)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Relaxed, trusting environment. Variety of friendly chickens to welcome visitors on arrival. Driving proximity to coast and amenities. Flat ground camping area, with no slopes. Able to park vehicle beside tent. Great view of stars!
Disliked: Aware during night of traffic noise on main road. However, was a still and clear night, so noise would have carried. Might also have been diverted off motorway.

Liked: Had the place to ourselves, quiet and kids loved the chickens and rabbit.
Location great for us as visiting family nearby.
Very friendly helpful host - thanks Les!
Disliked: Would benefit from a washing up sink/area.
1 Tardis style Portaloo (much prefer compost loos personally on a basic site). No shower - but knew this before booking.
Fine for us as only 1 night and only people staying.

Liked: Was a lovely little campsite. On arrival had a lovely chat with owner to find this is the first year campsite has been open. So the facilities are very limited. But am sure will improve over time. But nothing is too much trouble for them. We will definitely be back. Bonus prize got to watch deer grazing in the next field in the morning.
