Peaceful, private woodland site with friendly hosts. Great fire pits, firewood, and wildlife. Cosy cabins. Basic but clean facilities; few minor tweaks suggested. Ideal escape, lots want to return.

We received a friendly welcome from…
Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked We received a friendly welcome from the owner who showed us options of different pitches and also gave us information about the site and area.
The site itself is incredibly peaceful and lovely to explore.
Numerous walking routes are nearby - including to a warm and welcoming nearby pub.
There were many helpful facilities including trolleys to take your gear from the car park to your pitch, which vary in distance up to a few minutes walk.
We went during a stormy period but we felt cosy and sheltered from the wind on our pitched called “Elder”.
It’s great to come away from a break feeling we have left minimal trace with composting toilets and solar shower bags.
The site seems well looked after, we would certainly come again.

1 bedroom cabin
Liked We enjoyed every second of our stay in the cabin. The cabin have everything you possibly need. There is fire pit outside with table and bench. The toilet and shower for your personal use. The cabin is beautifully decorated and the owners added small bits to make even more beautiful. We will definitely go back again. There are camping carts you can use to carry your staff from car to the cabin. There was nothing I could say was wrong about the place. Absolutely 💯 fantastic stay away from the rat race.

Overall, very pleased and would love to come back.
Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked Really freubdly hosts who gave us a friendly introduction to the site.
The site itself was beautiful: you had enough privacy to think you were off the grid, but our friends stayed in a plot near us which was nice. There is a pub located about a 5 minute walk away which is ideal.
The facilities were good and easy to access.

Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked An oasis of calm, waking up among the trees to the sound of the birds really was a lovely way to spend a night. Individual pitches very well spread out so good privacy for all. Do remember to take a good torch because this is REAL camping in the woods and gets super dark which is perfect for a good nights sleep. Very quiet location, pub in walking distance and the owners at Bridgewood Camping are perfect hosts and very welcoming.
Disliked There is nothing not to like.

1 bedroom cabin
Liked Stayed for 2 nights in the cabin and it was lovely, it was perfect for a relaxing weekend away with our 7 year old son who also had a fantastic time.
Was showed around when we first arrived which was brilliant.
Everything was thought of and the cabin had everything you needed.
Firewood and water top ups were easy to access.
Will 100% come back again.
Disliked Nothing to dislike

From the manager: It was really lovely to meet with you and for taking the time to give us such a nice review.
We must thank you for the fantastic photos, really enjoyed the one with your son by the firepit toasting some marshmallows - proper camping experience! You'd be more than welcome to return, especially as you left the Cabin so clean and tidy after your stay - thanks again. Hope you have a great rest of the summer.
Beautifully peaceful
Unpowered grass and earth tent site
Liked We loved how peaceful and quiet the campsite was. It felt really private—we couldn’t see any of our neighbours, which made it feel like we had the place to ourselves. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind, and we had a really lovely time.
Disliked If we had to mention one thing, the shower and toilet facilities were definitely on the more rustic side—which added to the wild, back-to-nature experience! While they may not be for everyone, they were part of the charm of staying somewhere so remote and peaceful.
