A perfect campsite for me. Hidden away very remotely. The hostess was great and the site has a lot of character, it's like a small family run thing , not a big campsite chain. No caravans allowed so it's just tents which suits me. Cooking facilities, toilets ( great touch with painting of Albert Einstein on the gents and a painting of a woman whom i'm not sure who she is or was on the ladies) and a shower. A beautiful little rustic hideaway. Only qualm i'd say is i could hear the traffic on the nearby A30 (?) a lot at times but can't do anything about that. Would defiinitely stay here again.

Great little find, dog friendly. Couldn’t have asked for more from a host, friendly and attentive. Lovely communal area to use with donations for use of gas in the Cooking area. Would visit again.

This campsite is a little Hidden gem, best campsite we have EVER stayed at, absolutely loved everything about it, the wooden bar/kitchen was just so delightful, along with the rustic tennis courts and cool eco outdoor shower, awesome firepit by the bar, beautiful scenery and a wonderful host. Will most definitely be returning next year.

Beautifully located campsite which is operated as an environmentally sustainable way. Most of the facilities are manufactured from recycled materials and well maintained.

Lovely, small campsite with great hostess. The shower with a view at the stars is the highlight. You can hear the motor way, but this is obvious since you are only a couple of miles away from it
