Basic, but beautiful setting
Peaceful open field campsite nestled in a beautiful grassy valley. The lower half is reasonably flat, suiting multi-tent set ups and enjoying the summer sun later into the evening. The top half is steeper, but with small flatish plateaus here and there for individual tents. In the evening the sun disappears earlier on the upper slopes. However, the view down the valley and across to the fields and woodland opposite is fantastic, particularly as it changes colour with the setting sun. Immaculate portaloos are placed along the edge of the field, but if you stay on the steeper top section of the site, you’ll have a bit of a trek to get to one. There is a family shower room way down at the campsite entrance, which looks clean enough, but we didn’t use it so can’t comment on the hot water situation.
The site allows open fires directly on the ground and the owners come around between 5pm and 6pm with firewood for £10, which we bought, but supplemented with our own to see us through the evening.
The only negative was the group who played music until after 10.30pm despite this being a “no music” campsite. Nevertheless it was an overall peaceful place to spend the night and worth an overnight visit in good weather.
