Our first night was perfect with lovely views and a BBQ. Almost wild camping but with a single shower block, but it was very clean and had a kitchen area for washing up. In October, only two campers so plenty of space. Bit of a steep climb but our camper was ideal for this! Amazing sunrise the next morning. Would definitely use again and recommend.
Great peaceful spot

We stayed for two nights at Near Howe and we loved how peaceful it was. Our dog loved the field. The facilities were modern and clean, everything was perfect (apart from one day of rain!) There is only one shower and loo, but we managed just fine. We hope to be back soon and would recommend to everyone. Thank you Fiona and team.
