Quiet and peaceful doesnt do it justice

Just stayed 4 days here and it is now our favourite cl that we have visited over the last few years. Beautifully mown site with more than enough space for 5 vans (only two on site), we were 50 yds away from nearest van. Access to cycling and walking is... Show more

Perfect CL Site for Peace and Quiet

26th to 29th June 2023 We stopped off at Campling on our way North from Port Loggan. Mrs Campbell was so lovely and we found the site with her excellent instructions. It was exactly what we were looking for. Beautifully kept CL, plenty of room over two areas,... Show more

About as quiet as it can get

A one night stopover after doing the NC500… a well maintained area (could need some minor levelling in places). Facilities for rubbish and a fresh water tap across the road. Very peaceful site, no road noise.

Just spent a couple of nights here and it was perfect for us. Quiet, well kept and lovely dog walks straight from the site. The water tap location might be a bit of an issue for larger motorhomes as it's on the other side of the single track road with... Show more

Quality basic CL in a lovely area.

Been here a few times over the years, and always enjoy it. Very basic with no power, but there's water, bins, and somewhere to empty the toilet tank. Nice mown field bordered by hedges and trees and has a great riverside walk straight from the site, an excellent short dog walk.... Show more

A perfect stay at a perfect CL - back to basics

This is a fast disappearing type of site which is such a shame. The scenery was stunning and we were surrounded by nature. There was no need for electricity because we had the solar panel and gas. We walked every day direct from the site and explored... Show more
