I am Claire. The campsite has been in my family for more than 50 years. I took it over in 2009 when my dad died. I have spent the past 15 years bringing the campsite back to life, developing the small holding and cafe. I have mad schemes and grand plans for the cafe and smallholding which may or may not come off in the next few years, but I am giving it a go. I juggle running the campsite, cafe and smallholding and playing with my dog Cem. Cem is a working sheepdog and is 2. His name means beauty in Arabic. He is very much a part of the campsite and loves to play with children. He is also learning how to do agility and is a star attraction of animal feeding.

We also have a motley selection of cats (currently five) – some of them contribute through their pest control activities, most of them don’t. There are also 4 alpacas, a lot of goats, more bees and slightly fewer chickens. There are often pigs, the current ones are in the freezer and are available as sausages and bacon!
