What customers say
This peaceful, rural campsite has ample space for kids. Guests loved the convenient farm shop with local goodies and the owner's warm welcome. Facilities are clean and basic, perfect for no-frills camping at a good price. It's still developing, but the location is great for walks and cycling. A baby-changing area and more washing-up sinks would be welcome.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews


Nice rural site, with freedom. Owner Sarah very friendly and helpful.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely quiet location, with plenty of space for the children to play and run around.
Handy farm shop for basics, with local produce.
Disliked The site is quite new, and the owners are still developing amenities, which I'm sure will be great when finished.
A useful addition would be a baby changing area, and more washing up surfaces.

Perfect stay for us and our little dog
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked What’s not to like about this camp, its ticks all the boxes for no thrills camping at a sensible price… clean hot shower, clean toilets and a self serve farm on the entrance which has essentials plus some extra treats… great location as well…… they also offer pods and streamline caravan stays which looked great….
Disliked Nothing….
