Company information

We wanted to create the kind of camping we enjoy - comfortable and with a private bathroom. The site is off grid but there is a 4G signal, although we encourage you to turn off wifi and listen to the birds - Helen has recorded over 30 varieties of bird on site. We love sharing our site with guests, small people are especially welcome and the roasting of marshmallows is most certainly encouraged. Dogs are welcome as long as they and their owners are well behaved.
