Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: The sites are well spaced out so it feels really secluded. Loved the way they were nestled amongst the wildflowers. When sat on a camping chair, we felt like we were the only ones there!
Disliked: 3 toilets and a sink but no soap for washing hands. The sink is also a bit broken and people kept leaving it running meaning it would overflow. Our site was next to these and so we could hear the constant sound of water flowing until we'd go switch it off!

Liked: Loved camping in a meadow with a designated pitch. A simple campsite with no airs or graces and will definitely be back.
Disliked: Apart from some school boy racers on the main A road it was peaceful

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Everything. The most beautiful place. Each pitch is a huge circle carved out of long grasses so you feel completely secluded. Toilets and water easy access and very clean. Loads of wood in supply and fire pits for hire - both extremely reasonable cost. Lots of fantastic places to visit locally - and further afield by car. The owners leave you in peace. Utterly tranquil stay watching the seagulls and buzzards soaring on the thermals above.

Liked: PItches sizes and space apart was good, made for a peaceful experience. Toilet block and washing up sink where clean and tidy. A supply of fire wood was on site with a honesty box for payment and a firepit left on the site for use. There where sign posts on site directing to trails for the local pub and other walks.

Liked: Well signposted, well laid out. Clean facilities, ample of space. Would be fantastic in great weather shame we picked a summer weekend raining and mad winds!
Disliked: Understandable but farm pickers out early and quite noisy i.e 5.30-6am wake up.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Beautiful, flat meadow, private pitches, small site
Disliked: Toilets could have been cleaner - very smelly by the end of every day. Noise from the main roads nearby was very loud, but we were unfortunate with the wind direction I think.
