What customers say
Great, well-kept, peaceful campsite. Lovely natural feel, clean facilities. Kids loved the stream and play area. Some minor fire wood dampness and road noise, but great value and atmosphere. Many will be back!

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Perfect quiet countryside getaway. Lovely and relaxing reading in the hammock listening to the birds (owls at night!) and stream in the background. Firepits to hire were great. Brought two 12 year olds with me and was lovely to see them enjoying the outdoors too

Great value. Clean, chilled, friendly - definitely stay here again.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Peaceful and relaxed site. Excellent value for money. Clean showers and toilets. Friendly vibe. Birdsong, owls, the gentle sounds of the stream, stars on a clear night - a lovely place to be.
Quite a simple site but very well done. The unmanned reception is great with all the info you need and contact details for the owners if needed. Fire pits and logs available on site and we were even visited by an ice cream van on Sunday evening. I was really glad to have found this little gem. (This review made me give a score for wi-fi - it’s 1 because they didn’t have it but I heard the owner saying they might have it next year - didn’t bother me as it was good to switch off)
Disliked Not a deal-breaker by any means but you can hear the A30 in the night. That’s only to be expected as you are relatively close to it- but as a fairly consistent low-key rumble, it’s not a problem and can be quite soothing.

Stay ruined by raw sewage smell & inconsiderate actions of others
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Small site, access to a fridge, freezer and kettle was awesome. Rental of firepit and wood was great. Showers and toilets were clean. Owner kindly helped us out by doing an emergency load of laundry. Kids rope swings and hammocks were lovely and much loved by our 2 kids.
Disliked The smell coming from the chemical disposal waste was very very strong- seemed to be an open cavity with no plug or even a door? Its central location meant that we had to walk past it a lot. Every little puff of wind carried the smell down to us at our pitch, and it was incredibly off putting. To be honest this alone ruined our stay.
Despite guidelines saying to arrive between 2pm and 8pm, there were many late arrivals, with people setting up late (9.30- 10pm car running, noisy pump to inflate airbeds etc) and cars coming after 11pm.
Issues with other site users smoking weed, which I reported to owners, but it happened again the next night. On last night my husband had to abandon brushing his teeth to let another camper vomit. Presumably linked to a empty bottle of tequila we saw in recycling the next morning.
Road noise was noticeable, and showers were way too hot and non adjustable.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and for listing so many positive things you liked about our campsite. It was really lovely to meet you and your family and I am sorry that there were things that fell short of your expectations. We try to have very clear rules about campers arrival times and behaviour on site. We are usually a very quiet, family orientated campsite and our other reviews reflect the safe and friendly environment. It is unfortunate that a minority of campers did not act in an inclusive and considerate way during your stay. It is very unusual for our campsite. I will make sure that we address any smell coming from the sewage treatment plant. I totally understand that this would have effected your enjoyment of the campsite. We will also adjust the thermostat on the showers which are at a factory setting. As you know we live here and are available to help out campers and can usually fix things quickly when alerted to them. I really appreciate your comments and hope you had a good journey home. Chinnie and Henry
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a smaller and quieter campsite.
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked This was a perfect find for myself and 2 boys, 6 and 9.
The campsite has enough to entertain the boys with tree swings, hammocks, go kart and space to explore, but small enough for me to not worry and always know where they were.
Showers were always hot and available. The showers and toilets were clean and stocked up always.
There is a kettle in reception, fridge and freezer
Disliked In the words of my 6 and 9 year old “nothing!”

Lovely Small Field, Lovely Owners
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked I liked the fact it was a no dog policy, I liked the fact it was small, I liked the fact the owners are chilled and accommodating, I liked we could have firepits and were left alone to chill.
The pitch sizes are a nice size.
The drinking water tasted clean and pure.
Not to expensive.
Hammocks.. but maybe put in a couple more.
Disliked I didnt like that the showers were Scalding hot, that you couldn't stand under but they are going to be dealt with apparently.
There isnt anything for teenagers to do at all.
Needs to have a little shop onsite for basics.
