What customers say
Basic, spacious sites in a beautiful, quiet rural setting with great views. Clean portaloos & water tap suffice for most. Peaceful, near country pubs, ideal for dog walks. Some note slopes/no showers, but overall very positive, with many returning.

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Peaceful, relaxed site with gorgeous, sweeping views, responsive hosts, friendly, respectful fellow campers (we enjoyed conversations with interesting folks from all over Europe) and a lovely, welcoming pub around the corner.
Disliked Pick your pitch carefully as parts of the site are exposed to wind. Robust pegs required to cope with stony areas of ground and not recommended for glampers as the condition of the 2 portaloos rapidly deteriorated.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we really appreciate the feedback. Because the site is on high ground it is windier up here, but being on a hill gives us our fantastic views! We keep a close eye on the toilets, checking them several times a day. Apologies if they weren’t up to standard in between checks.
Beautiful setting, easy to get to and a lovely clean and simple camp.

Liked The view is absolutely incredible!
Lovely relaxed little campsite. We had a great time.
As a single mother with a 4 year old it felt very safe.
Disliked The hose in the sink is quite long so it feels like it would be going in people's dirty washing up water. It would be good if it was shorter to be more hygienic.

From the manager: Thank you so much for a wonderful review, so pleased you loved your stay here and felt safe. We will sort out the sink asap, thank you for pointing it out.
