What customers say
Great spot by the river, super peaceful with awesome views & trail access. Portaloos are spotless, owner Liz is a legend! Basic but good value. A bit of a trek to facilities for some spots, and a bit of farm noise now and then, but heaps of natural beauty and a friendly vibe. Highly recommend!

Liked Beautiful scenery, spacious pitches, friendly and helpful owner, clean toilets. This was my second stay here and I'll definitely be booking again next year. Liz is very friendly but also makes sure the rules are in place about it being a quiet site - much appreciated by those of us who stay there for just that reason!

Liked I loved sleeping next to the river Esk, it was very peaceful and I've never slept so good camping :)
The campsite has a small trail which follows the river, and a place to sit by the rivers edge with beautiful views.
Very friendly working family, great prices for off grid camping with clean "honey buckets" :)
Disliked Having hardly any signal, however the peace from my phone was nice :)
