Not quite open or ready
5 m Class A · With pets ·
The campsite is clearly not ready which is not made obvious of Hip Camp.
1 toilet, 1 shower and 1 washing up station for 15 pitches at the moment.
Good fridge freezer facility, poo bag bin & poo bags available.
Site Internet not working.
The information on local walks is poor - they are not paths, they are along fairly busy county roads with cars etc going quite fast. People coming to campsites generally expect some good local walk information & pubs/opening times for eating - the lack of effort here was really disappointing.
I was camping alone as a single girl yet I didn’t get anyone from the campsite coming up to say hello, checking all was ok during my stay. I didn’t see anyone from when I arrived at check in time (don’t follow the signs to reception, it’s still being built) until 10.30am when I passed 3 members of staff working on the facilities building and not one of them asked me how my stay was, despite signs saying they wanted feedback.
It’s a weird place that doesn’t appear to be friendly, well informed for campers & isn’t being honest about the fact it’s barely open yet. A lot of other sites are much more welcoming and supply info about the local area. Hopefully it will get better when they’re more geared up. Amazing views and seclusion, but note the camping field is backs into the road so some traffic noise.
