The first light catches the ridge of the tent fly, quiet except for birdsong and the occasional bleat from the neighbouring field — this is straightforward British camping without the fuss.
Site 96 suits anyone after a proper back-to-basics pitch: tents, campervans, and caravans all welcome, and dogs by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one. It's the sort of spot where families spread out with windbreaks, couples park up for a weekend off-grid, and solo campers enjoy the lack of regimented rows. The location keeps things peaceful without feeling remote.
Facilities aren't detailed, so expect to be fairly self-sufficient — check what's available when you book. Campfires are a possibility, but confirm on arrival before striking the match. Anglers might appreciate Little John Lakes a short drive away if you fancy an afternoon with the rod. The vibe here is uncomplicated: pitch up, settle in, let the day unfold at its own pace.
