Location & Scenery

Pros:

  • "Fantastic scenery, great for walking."
  • "Lovely campsite right on the river. One of my favourites yet."
  • "Freedom to enjoy beautiful pitch, not rushed to leave, quiet site, stunning setting."
  • "Waterfalls all around you very spiritual beautiful place to stay."
  • "Scenery out of this world, few good walking paths on site, forest or water."
  • "The location was fantastic! The bridge crossing into site over the river making a middle of nowhere peaceful vibe."
  • "Beautiful area, especially by the river."

Cons:

  • "The campsite is in a valley between a road and a train track so not the quietest place."
  • "The general noise of the other groups was too much for me."
  • "Some excessively loud motorbikes on nearby road but not constant and bearable."
  • "We went on a sunny bank holiday weekend and it was very busy."
  • "Very difficult to get river access due to the amount of pitches hogging the riverbanks."
  • "Also bear in mind this site is sandwiched between a road and a railway line."
  • "The only downside - and this is not the campsites fault- was we arrived during a particularly bad storm and the land was therefore really boggy and flooded."

Facilities & Amenities

Pros:

  • "With friendly staff, onsite toilets and fire pits provided we will definitely be going back again."
  • "The owners came round when we arrived to check all was okay and they were lovely and helpful."
  • "Fire pits at every camp."
  • "The toilets worked well, in an old barn, cleaned regularly and always toilet roll and handsoap."
  • "Toilets were adequate, and washing in rapids was delightful."
  • "Good toilet block."
  • "Clean toilets."

Cons:

  • "The chemical toilet disposal was a bit grim, but still served its purpose."
  • "It's only 4 toilet (2 male and 2 female) but at this tent field could be easy 100-150 people so you must be ready to wait in long queue."
  • "Small gripe, but the automatic lights were not working in the toilet block making it difficult without a head torch."
  • "The toilets were hard to find in the dark, some signs or a map might have been helpful!"
  • "A little bit of building happening and the toilet block has no shower and is a little worse for wear."
  • "Toilet/ washing facilities are very basic."
  • "Unforgivable on a camp site to run out of toilet roll."

Atmosphere & Experience

Pros:

  • "Absolutely everything, I came away with my 7 year old son.. literally a quick getaway!"
  • "This was everything I wanted feeling like I was wild camping in a safe environment, quiet, beautiful setting and very much with nature."
  • "Absolutely loved it 😍🌲"
  • "Every guest we spoke to was really friendly too."
  • "Relaxed atmosphere of the site."
  • "There’s a no music policy which we loved as we enjoyed the peacefulness and star gazed by our fire."
  • "It's also very quiet - no music or rowdy crowds."

Cons:

  • "What a lovely place totally ruined by the owners as there is double standards if you got money and a big group people you can do what you want."
  • "Also on our last day we witnessed men from 2 different pitches urinating publicly in view of where our children were."
  • "Based on our time there, and being sold as a quite site there were a group of campers that where too loud late at night."
  • "Some of the people staying were rather loud."
  • "Guests arriving after 10pm in the evening to pitch their tents; very noisy neighbours."
  • "On occasional nights some campers were very loud, van doors banging constantly for 20 mins at a time after 11.30pm and shouting."
  • "Lots of noisy screaming children!"
