Liked: We were looking for a one night campervan park up with toilets. Lathkill wild campsite online and what a little gem it turned out to be for just £15 on bank holiday Sunday night! We will absolutely be back again! Beautiful view, quite, choose your own spot to pitch up on, three very well maintained toilets and a urinal unit. Neil the guy that owns the site was very friendly and came over to say hi, we bought a bag of logs and the use of one of their fire pits for only £12. This was great 😃 we had a lovely little fire before bed and again in the morning to cook our breakfast 🍳 20 minutes walk to Lathkill hotel, great food with a beautiful view! Thankyou for a relaxing stay 🌲
