 We've been camping at this site since last summer and all of us (usually around 20 in the group) think it's great, including the kids. The secluded location is fantastic and it really is camping as it should be. You just can't beat sitting around a campfire under the stars listening to each other telling increasingly tall stories. It's great for families and groups alike. The facilities are basic but perfectly adequate for short stays and the addition of portaloos for busy periods has certainly helped. It's great value for money and we'll be heading back for many years to come. 10/10

 When all said and done this site is in a wonderful location with spectacular views. The children of all ages mixed and played well. The major down side is the toilet and showers (or lack of them!) which if you have kids can be a problem, but if you can live with grubby but happy kids then its a winner, just dont expect to get to sleep by 9pm

We have just returned from a weekend at St Ives Farm in our tent. The weekend was particularly busy as the camping field was holding a wedding!! Overlooking this i would say the plus points are as follows:
1) surrounded in idillic countryside and miles of walking
2) cheap (only £12 per night for 6 people & a dog)
minus points are:
1) only one toilet block which is a 'porta' building containing two toilets, baisins and one (totally unusable) shower. When the site is full these facilities are not enough and are very dirty and flooded!
2) no washing up sink - which meant that some rather un-savoury people did their washing up in the toilet hand basin - which led to even more mess and busy-ness.

We did have a lovely weekend but i have to say the facilites are among the worst i have ever seen (thats bad!!). Campsite owner was very friendly - but did make us move our tent once pitched - which was very annoying!

Get some new facilities!!!!! This is a perfect setting for a campsite if run in the right way!

This site is in a lovely setting and could be a great place to visit providing you don't need much sleep! We have just returned from a 2 night stay and both night's we were unable to get much sleep!

On the first night a group of approx. 12 lads decided to pitch up next to us and partied all through the night with absolutely no consideration to other campers. On the second night someone decided that we should all listen to rave music full blast for about 3 hours until midnight. The music was still extremely loud even after several requests from parents with samll children to turn it down.

If you are looking for peace and quite in the evening then this site is definitely not for you.

One other pioint is that there are only 2 M/F toilets and 1 M/F female shower servicing the whole campsite.

Apart from all this we did have a relaxing time and feel it is a shame that a few seemed to spoil it for everyone else. We did inform the owner who was very apologetic and agreed that this should not have happened so things could improve in the future!

Visited this site this weekend with 12 friends, two children and a dog - really loved the site - beautiful lake and you really can't beat a real fire. Toilet facilities adequate. Fishing looked OK. Comments about rave music true but not too loud at night time. We will defintitely return.

Visited this weekend - bank holiday - with two vans, three tents. It was packed. Nice site, with good scenery, walks, fishing, camp fires, but serious work needed to provide loos/showers/water to the camping field. The main field is for residential vans only, and this is where the one shower & two loos per m/f, plus the fresh water & waste disposal, is situated. It was a long walk for our two slightly diasabled friends. One portaloo only in the tent field, not emptied all weekend. May go back, but not at bank holiday, and only if more loos etc installed.

Idyllic - if you want peace and tranquility. We normally have loads of kids with us when we camp but as we only had one we decided to try out St Ives. We chose it because it has fishing and best of all allows camp fires.

I'm not sure you could stay too long if you had loads of children but with 2 or 3 its a brilliant place.

Showers and loos ckept very clean - we were surprised to find showers!

Definitely going back again this year

Well after going up and down the same country road three times we eventually found the campsite and, as we got there at 7pm, it was packed!!

A nice setting although only one portaloo which was very old and dirty!
Campfires are welcome which made for a lovely evening and there is a very laid back atmosphere even though we ended up pitched next to someone who played techno and rave music all night !

Good fishing lake if that's your thing and a nice tea garden just next door with some lovely dogs who look as though they have eaten too many cream teas themselves!
