What customers say
Peaceful woodland spot for relaxation & nature lovers. Kids enjoy pool & trampoline. Friendly owner, Harry, & abundant wildlife. Easy pitching on level ground. Basic but clean facilities. Wood supply could be better.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked It was very easy to find. Great instructions were sent when we booked. We weren't sure which areas we could go in so stuck to the main camp field and most of the woods. Found all the fun bits for the kids to play on. Loos were an adventure 😅😅 took me back to my Glastonbury days.
Data signal was fine... thank God.

From the manager: Thank you, yes it's beautiful and we want to share it.
Great for families!
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Parking was great! Kids loved the rope swing, trampoline, garden & horses in the nearby field. Nearby restaurants 5 min walk was really handy! Running water, shower & fire pits to hire were a bonus. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. Even got our kids airplane out the tree!
Disliked Toilets! Dirty & small. If toilet block could be installed it would be perfect
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Glad to see you had a great time.
We have a composting toilet, as stated on our description. Appreciate it's not the same as a permanent toilet block but it's simple not possible to build one here. Your point is taken nonetheless and we try to do the best with what we have.
Please come again, but note disposable barbecues are not allowed as they burn the grass. Expensive too, about £5, and for the same cost you can hire our fire pit and grill tray with as much wood as you like.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely cosy campsite with a nature reserve walk, a heated pool and your basic facilities. Harry was lovely made us feel very welcome and was super helpful. Was a lovely couple days away, would definitely visit again !
Disliked Only improvement i could think of would be having showers put in, toilets, sink etc. just so we can stay a bit longer as the rest was so nice.
