What customers say

Sturdy Bank: basic camping, stunning views, peaceful vibes. Clean loos, big sites, pick your own spot are big wins. Friendly owners & farm animals add charm. Some find facilities lean for the price, but most love the quiet, natural setting, handy pubs & walks. A top spot for a chill, no-fuss getaway.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I liked everything about this site - lots of flat areas to camp, fabulous views, clean toilets, great location, and friendly owners. We had 2 nights here and was very chilled site where we could have firepit.
Apparently they are opening showers next season which will improve this site even further. Thanks
