Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Friendly owner who welcomed us and was super helpful, campsite was clean and tidy. Had nice amenities to be able to make fires and accommodating to bbqs. Very easy to drive to different places but was a calm and relaxed environment. There’s only a small sign when going in so was tricky to find initially as maps tells you it’s the buildings across the road. Once you know where it is it’s super easy to get around the local area
Beautiful

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely, we have been camping for the past two years but this was so far the nicest and cleanest campsite we have seen. Lovely owner, beautiful pitches, clean toilets. Thank you for having us. We will be back x
Excellent site, well laid out and friendly helpful owner.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Very friendly and helpful campsite owner. Alex helped us get our big airbed inflated. We liked the layout of the pitches with areas of long grass separating the pitches and the roadway. Toilet and shower very clean and well serviced. The pub (Panama Hatty's) was only 10 minutes walk and was an excellent venue for food and drink. Beeston Castle nearby was a good place to visit.
Disliked Nothing really. Only one toilet and shower could be an issue if it was really busy or if you are on a longer stay but it wasn't a problem the one night we stayed.
Beautiful well kept camp site

Liked Peaceful, owners were lovely, great pitch set up and very spacious

Best site we’ve visited
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Loved everything about this site. Toilet & shower immaculate and cleaned numerous times a day, washing-up station, fresh drinking water, beautifully kept site, large level pitches, extremely helpful owners. Gorgeous peaceful countryside walks all around and 10 minute walk to nearest pub. Free loan of fire pits an added bonus. Will definitely be returning.
Disliked Nothing to dislike
Loved this camping site. Small, basic amenities but quite
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We went to this site with our daughter, son in law and 2 grandchildren, aged 3.5 years and 7 months. We had the site to ourselves and it was fantastic.
Beautiful setting, quite and great amenities. We shall be definitely returning.
Disliked Our only concern would be that if we visited during a busy period there is only one shower and toilet. Hot water to the dish washing area would be a bonus.
A good site with basic facilities a little overpriced.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The site was spacious and well kept. The facilities were clean, and as described in the campsite literature.
Disliked The toilet consisted of a small wooden hut with a flushing toilet in a cubicle and a single electric shower in a cubicle. The lights operated on a timed motion sensor, which shut off while using the toilet or the shower. You need to bring a towel to wave over the cubicle to get the lights on again. Even though the site had few people, it was still necessary to wait for use. More toilets and showers would be a big improvement. There was no heating in the facility and no hot water, only that from the electric shower. Otherwise it was clean, and well presented. There was no dish washing facilities, just a steel table next to the water stand pipe. The water had no drain, so rinsing dishes etc spashed onto the grass. The site, from a facilities perspective, was one step up from wild camping. This would have been no problem if the price was a lot lower. The area was beautiful and peaceful.
Would recommend a visit for anyone wanting a bit of peace and quiet.
