We have just returned from a beautiful weekend away at Hole Station Campsite. 

Upon arrival, we tooted our horn twice (as the sign requests!) and we were greeted by Greg, the owner. He gave us a tour of the site and then let us loose to go explore and choose our own pitch. We loved this bit! We chose #10, right in the back corner and backs onto the field of sheep. 

Once back, we unpacked our belongings into two wheelbarrows and took our things to our pitch. Wheelbarrow races were a huge temptation!! The tent was soon up and we settled into a good book and a cold beverage as a reward! 

At dinner time rolled around, we lit our campfire using the kindling and wood we purchased from Greg upon arrival. We love a BBQ so cooking on the wood fire grill was right up our street. The fire kept us nice and warm throughout the evening and it was lovely to sit under the tarpaulin shelter on the pitch. 

Each pitch also has its own loo - a great luxury! Never far to walk after a few beers! It’s also very easy to clean these - Greg shows you the cleaning area when you arrive and even a novice can figure it out! 

The site is so quiet, we managed to sleep in until gone 9am - a rarity when camping! The adults only policy probably helps this. 

We cooked all our own meals so didn’t use the cafe on site for breakfast but the menu looked great and the cafe area was beautiful! You can also order dinner from the cafe and it’s packaged up for you in tin containers which you can heat up yourself on the fire. Awesome idea!

A few other things we loved about this site: 
- charging facilities: there are two lockable cabinets and each have a USB plug already in so it’s able to charge 3-4 devices at once. You take the giant key(!) back with you for an hour or two and then return it once your device is charged. 
- shower block- two lovely showers which were hot, clean, good pressure, available and spacious. You can easily get changed in there and there’s a chair to put your belongings on. The sign up sheet for shower slots was a pandemic implementation but is still in use as it works very well - no queues!! 
- recycling point is fab and everything is thought of. Plastic waste is strongly discouraged. Try to not buy anything plastic where possible - great ethos ! 
- washing up area is great with two roomy sink areas and an urn for hot water. 
- freezer is in the same area as washing up so is available 24/7 basically. You can take a couple of bottles of frozen water to replace your freezer packs as they refreeze. Genius. 

Overall, we had a fabulous weekend and we will be back as soon as you open next season!

Em va agradar: Great place to stay, we loved how environmentally friendly it was and how private the pitches are. Very quiet and peaceful. Greg and Liz were very friendly and helpful and Greg's signs were not only informative but made me chuckle every time I read one.
