What customers say
Swinsty View: serene, wild camping with amazing views & wildlife. Remote, quiet, big pitches. Portaloos super clean; running water added. Price fair for basic setup. Field now mowed. Top spot for a wild feel.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Beautiful location
Disliked The whole field was covered in sheep poo. If you had children, they wouldn't be able to olay in the field. A very small and dirty wash station. Water tap not connected to water supply. Had to go to the farm house to ask for water. Cost £40 for 2 tents and very little facilities
