The crackle of kindling and the first curl of smoke drifting through canvas — that's the promise here, though you'll need to check the campfire rules when you pitch up.

This is a back-to-basics spot for tenters and campervan tourers who don't need electric hook-ups or a laundry block, just hot showers after a day out and the freedom to settle in under the stars. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies can shift with the season or the field in use. It's the kind of place that suits people happy with simple: couples after a quiet weekend, solo adventurers passing through, anyone who'd rather hear birdsong than a site tannoy.

You'll find showers onsite and not much else listed, so pack accordingly — this isn't a leisure-park setup. The vibe leans low-key and off-grid, the sort of camp where your nearest neighbour might be three pitches away and everyone's in bed by ten. If campfires are allowed during your stay, bring marshmallows.
