Really lovely campsite. Very chilled atmosphere, and farmer Philip and team were very friendly and helpful. The showers were hot and the water pressure good! We also had the pizzas on Saturday night which were delicious and delivered to our tent. We definitely plan to visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay, they know their target market and cater for them well. They had a coffee truck come in the morning, they had freshly baked pizza in the evenings. The owner was very nice, there were some local walks which were nice, lots of local things to do like we had a dip in a local lake. Decent fire pits were provided for the wood. Make sure to bring some cash as the card fees are a bit high, but fortunately we did. Quick note to owner - we found a few times where the hot water didn't work in the showers and dish washing areas, perhaps worth a check more frequently. Didn't take away from our experience as we often camp with no hot water or showers! But others may complain. 5 star either way.

Lovely and quiet but toilet blocks dirty, no plugs for sinks, no hot water for washing up and quite a bit of litter. Campsite owner very friendly and gave honest views about local eateries etc.

Clean toilets, running hot and cold water, fire pits everywhere. Really great facilities and camp site overall. Plus walking around and seeing llamas and camels were icing on the cake

The owner was amazing! My other half filled her break fluid with water upon arriving and the host phil went above and beyond to help us going as far as removing the break fluid tank and emptying out the oil/water for us. A real life saver. Once we arrived the host also offered us an empty corner to camp in. Fantastic location, clean and well kept facilities! Would definitely recommend.
