Ik was blij met: Lovely location, well kept field with lots of space. Walking distance of the ridgeway

Ik was niet zo blij met: Nothing but we were self contained so didn’t use the facilities

Ik was blij met: Absolutely everything. Despite not having electric hook up we managed with gas, power banks and a solar panel. The panoramic view is stunning. Great walking. East takes you to a lovely bluebell wood and more beyond and west takes you into Wallingford and the Thames where there is beautiful walking alongside the river.

Ik was blij met: Large, flat field with very nice distant views. Not that many people when I went over Easter so plenty of space to have privacy. On arrival you text a number to check in then find your own spot. The phone number on some signs is wrong.
The location is excellent. It’s right on the ridgeway path. Also near to beautiful towns like Wallingford.

Ik was niet zo blij met: No hot water so didn’t shower.
Also hard to wash pans in freezing cold water. But it was made clear in description that it’s a cold water site only.
Wouldn’t stay more than a night because of this.

Ik was blij met: Beautifully kept field with toilet and shower facilities.
Enhance your stay with a full fire kit so you can get the full camping experience.
Beautiful scenery although can be a bit windy, a wind break is useful if you have one.
Plain camping, no frills. If you want wifi and electric look elsewhere.

Ik was blij met: Clean, well looked after. Tranquil place and the ability to have a fire was wonderful

Ik was blij met: An amazing location, rural and quiet with plenty of space. Good value too, basic but clean facilities with plenty of areas for water and rubbish bins

Ik was blij met: - [ ] Really lovely location. Huge site and completely level with loads of room between pitches. Nice local walks along the Ridgeway path but it is single file pretty much entirely and at this point along its length, encased with woods so the views are limited. Loads of wildlife to see. Onsite the toilets were pretty grim - the flushing systems of the portaloos couldn’t cope with the volume of waste and most portaloos were swimming in sewage late Saturday evening. The handwashing pumps just didn’t work at all. There’s about 10 portaloos at one end of the field. Would be better if they were spread out - as it’s a 10 minute trek to them from the far end of the field. Plus please separate men’s from women’s? I hate sharing a toilet space where a man has had free rein to wave it all about!!! Only one water station and one washing up sink for the entire huge field. (Both of which were surrounded by ankle deep mud) It’s card only to buy firewood. There’s an app to take payment but then I received no code for the locked wood store. Fortunately a young couple told me the combination - which kind of defeats the purpose of a locked store - an honesty box would be just as secure?! It’s a lovely site but I’ve paid half the price for far better facilities.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Grim portaloos which were a trek away and unsatisfactory arrangement for purchasing firewood

Van de manager: We're so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay on site Fiona.

Frustratingly many of your concerns could have easily been resolved in a quick message or call to the campsite phone number. We didn't receive notification that your payment for firewood had been made nor does it seem that you followed up by message to ask for the code, frustrating as this would have been very quickly and easily resolved. We are always a simple phone call or a message away. It is frustrating that this could have been so quickly and easily resolved. Many customers love the simplicity and ease of our campfire collection system - from this year's reviews it is one of the most often mentioned positive, but just to note fire pits can also very easily be pre-ordered in advance when booking a pitch.

Similarly it seemed you missed the 4 different water points that are on site, we have 4 water taps on site as well as two washing up sinks.

Ik was blij met: Stunning site and views. My camper has everything on board so minimum facilities needed. So much space to choose your pitch. Owners very welcoming. Thanks.
