What customers say

This quiet, rural campsite has lots of space for kids. Guests loved the convenient farm shop with local goods and the friendly owner. The facilities are clean and basic, great for no-frills camping at a good price. Still developing, it's praised for direct access to trails. Some suggest a baby changing station and more dishwashing space.

Garfield P.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Freedom, area is nice, well laid out and plenty of space per pitch. Clean and well kept.

Disliked Not really a dislike at all but more of an opinion - lights are lovely for the evening however maybe should be on a timer to shut off at midnight as the glare inside the tent can’t be annoying but this wasn’t a problem at all for us. However could have been if my youngest work up and thought it was morning already. But really pretty anyhow!

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Open field that didn't get busy at all. Beautiful sunset. Quiet location. Friendly hostess.

Disliked Slightly uneven so need to pitch tent/park van with that in mind so you're not sleeping downhill!

Only 1 shower so has the potential to have a bit of a queue
