Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: I stayed for two nights with two dogs on the large open field with water and portaloo. There was lots of space and so could be quite private. Dogs are welcome and able to use adjoining fields to exercise. The farmer, Rob is friendly and accommodating. I would return.
Disliked: Some road noise, it's best to pitch at the bottom of the field where it's much quieter.

Liked: No fuss, a great stop-off on a bikepacking adventure. There's a basic portaloo which was relatively clean and stocked with toilet paper and hand sanitiser.
Disliked: I would have liked to have a water supply and somewhere to put rubbish.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: A basic, no frills location for our camping adventure. The simplicity of the site allowed us to truly connect with nature without the distractions of modern amenities, which is exactly what we were looking for. The facilities were clean and well maintained, making our stay comfortable despite the minimal setup. We appreciated the straightforward experience and will definitely return for future trips. I highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for an authentic, back to basics camping experience.
Disliked: I would like to suggest that the grass on the fields could be trimmed a little shorter. This would make it easier and more enjoyable to take walks around the campsite, allowing visitors to fully explore and appreciate the area. Shorter grass would also enhance the overall comfort and accessibility for campers, especially those with young children.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Perfect place left alone nothing there but a toilet and a tap was great,
Sat nav to place was a bit sketchy even with maps I’d suggest a sign post outside the gate as it’s just that a gate you guess is place and go though, so a sign would make life a lot easier, but pub right by and a shop it’s great definitely use again
Disliked: No sign so hard to guess as it’s just a gate.

Liked: Ownership by a lovely man. We loved the peaceful relaxed atmosphere. We loved popping into Gawsworth and the little pub there.
Disliked: The fueld was newly converted to camping and the grass was a little long. It was also beside a busy road.
