Ik was blij met: It was very quiet.

Ik was niet zo blij met: The shower was very small. Struggled to get dry and dressed in the allocated space.

Ik was blij met: Simple, peaceful, beautiful. We had the lush green meadow to ourselves, and we're disturbed only by a tawny owl calling from a tree near our tent.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Kitchen area a bit run down. Only one shower. Dry toilets in need of a good clean.

Ik was blij met: Lovely wild feeling campsite but with the facilities to be comfy (hot shower and toilets), gorgeous woodland area with a pretty river running through it. Firepits and tripods for cooking available and some lovely views over the nearby rolling hills. The campsite owner was very hospitable :)

Ik was blij met: Stunning location!! Peaceful and spacious. Facilities basic but adequate. Plenty of compost toilets dotted around and a warm shower. We took the dogs and there some lovely walks from the campsite. Sat star gazing at night listening to the wildlife around a fire pit( cheap to hire from the site)
Would totally recommend to those who enjoy camping on the wilder side!! Lovely stay.

Ik was blij met: Lovely spot. Big meadow field surrounded by old forest. Warm clean shower. They don’t cram tents in so lots of space for each pitch which is nice. Not far from some of the best beaches in the UK. Very dog friendly too.

Ik was blij met: Really enjoyed our visit to Kite View! The tree tent was a great experience. Felt warm and cosy in the night. We purchased the additional log burner and logs - which I would recommend - they come at a small additional price. There was also seating under canopy close by to the tent which was great. The location was perfect, just sat back off the field in the trees so had lots of privacy and could wake up to bird song. I see others mentioned about horse flys - we packed fly repellent to be on the safe but found we didn't require it. Worth packing though. Facilities are relatively basic as described but perfect for a digital detox getaway. Composting toilet was a first for us and really not bad at all!
We met Mark who was very pleasant.

Ik was niet zo blij met: No major negatives at all. Only minor things that are subjective to us. Storage of bags I found a little tricky in the tree tent but then again, we don't pack light! This is all personal opinion and how much you wish to bring with you. Car was parked close by which came in handy. The more visitors that came to the Campsite, the toilets became less appealing. This is most likely visitors not reading/following the toilet instructions so not really fault of the campsite necessarily. Just something to have in mind if you're not keen on composting toilets.

Ik was blij met: Perfectly located for visiting Skomer Island & it's seabird colonies. Just a twenty minute drive down quiet roads.
Waking up to just the sound of birdsong is always a bonus & the fact that I had the field to myself for three out of four nights was even better.
The compost toilets may not be to everyone's taste but they were adequate & served a purpose. Certainly better than the alternative.
The water in the shower was also nice & hot.
The field had recently been harvested for the hay & due to the recent weather there were a lot of wheel ruts from the tractor which meant the ground was far from smooth & flat. It may be that this will be rolled shortly so I can't put it down as a "dislike". There was also a couple of ferns growing up through the floor of the toilet & the grass was quite long around the door making it difficult to close without a little bit of judicious gardening. Again, I was there in mid May so maybe I was just a bit earlier than most people.
I don't know how busy the site gets but a few more toitets & a second shower would also be good.
From my very brief conversation with the owner I got the impression that he does have plans to improve the site further.
Having only been camping for about twelve months, I found it to be a perfectly acceptable, peaceful site on which to set up camp for a few days.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing.
