Em va agradar: This place is FULL of magic. Gorgeous trees, wildlife, wildflowers and not overly crowded. It was wonderful making memories with my 3 year old, sat around a fire singing, dancing and playing our drum. The other guests on-site were lovely. The shop isn’t far away if you forget something or want to travel light. The facilities are a lot better equipped than I was expecting to turn up to. There’s some seriously good values and connection with nature here!

No em va agradar: The gate at the front kept swinging back everytime I went to open the other side. I found it quite funny but if there’s an option to put a hook up I’m sure some people would appreciate it. The road up to it is narrow and if you meet other traffic you need to be able to reverse for a good distance, not many passing places. We live in Cornwall and are familiar with these types of roads but I know some people might struggle.

Del gerent: Hello Danielle, Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review, we are delighted that yourself and family enjoyed the magic of the woodland as much as we do :) Also, it is wonderful to hear that all the updates we have made over the winter period to the facilities and the track have already benefitted our guests. Thank you for the feedback I will get the gate sorted today. All the very best and we hope to see you again soon. Annie

Em va agradar: Wonderful set up in lovely wood which is perfect for camping as there's still plenty of daylight amongst the trees.

No em va agradar: The camp site is new so has a few teething problems. The access road was very muddy, it took four attempts to reverse into my camper van pitch, made harder by the pitch being higher than the road, lots of wheel spinning! There was another van next to me which had similar trouble. Three of the camper van pitches are directly opposite the parking area for cars so you do feel a bit like your camping in the parking area. The water pump is very noisy and is audible every time a tap is run, a quieter pump or acoustic box would be a good remedy.

Del gerent: Thank you for your review Matt, the track, parking bays, and campervan standings have all been completely re-laid, so no mud or wheel spinning going forward. The camper van pitches are now all located within the woodland and away from the parking or entrance to the camp. The water pump has also been updated, so peace has been restored. Thank you for the feedback and we are pleased to be able to act on them and make changes for 2024. Annie

Em va agradar: Fantastic location, in amongst the nature, felt like old school camping. Lovely spacious pitches, not too close to anyone else, each with its own campfire pit. It was very easy to read the map of where your pitch was, very nicely done. The facilities are good, hot showers and clean toilets, and they have been built very nicely, lovely touches everywhere in the camp to enjoy every bit of the nature. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and they were very helpful with us. We enjoyed it so much the first night that we stayed another!

No em va agradar: As much as we loved it, there were just a few things that might need tweaking. For example, no hand wash is provided, only sanitiser which is not the best when using outdoor facilities. The road leading into the camp ground is very muddy once it has rained, this wasn't a problem, however our shoes were very muddy going into our tent. Perhaps having a shoe cleaner/scrubber would be useful for those camping? But none of this would stop us from returning.

Em va agradar: This was a A* experience. As long as you open to the real side of wild camping you will love this. Fire pitch and tent patch in your own little designated area. Cute and eco friendly camp. Remote but worth it.

Em va agradar: I've done a lot of wild camping, hiking, and glamping in my years and this place has to be an almost perfect balance between a wild camping experience and camping with all the mod-cons. It is off-grid and even the owners are not on-site. It has basic showers and toilets but they are warm and clean. The pitches are secluded and amongst lovely mature Oaks You sit and listen to the birds, with your campfire going, and feel your stress ebbing away. I was blown away by the price, for the size of each pitch and the level of privacy I would have expected far higher charges.

No em va agradar: VERY MINOR GRIPES: The showers were VERY hot and one had a timer that was about 2 seconds lol. Not enough wheelbarrows for everyone even on a relatively quiet day. Don't bring tons of unnecessary stuff like one family I saw with a MASSIVE double airbed that the had to carry from the parking area as it needed the car to inflate it.
