A beautiful location with great hosts and the bonus of a hot shower and toilets. They are bucket showers but a hot shower is a hot shower. Drop by the Byfield general store, Bar, Cafe as this is a bit of a unique spot. I note comments about wet conditions and mud and can see how rain would affect the lovely grass covered ground. I would also note that many Hipcamp sites I have stayed would be rain affected, so don't think this is any more an issue here than many other places to stay. Didn't swim in the pond but apparently people do. Lots of bird life and an enjoyable quiet place to stay.

Absolutely Stunning!

Sure, here's a Our stay at Forrest Field Campstay was a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle, even though it was just a quick escape without the kids. The location is absolutely stunning, offering tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. The amenities were impeccable, spotlessly clean with a noticeable fresh scent that reflects excellent care and maintenance. Having access to a hot shower was a pleasant surprise that added to the comfort of our stay. Shayne was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He even delivered firewood right to our site, which was a thoughtful touch. We can't wait to bring our kids next time, as we know they'll love it as much as we did. We'll definitely be recommending Forrest Field Campstay to all our friends and family—it's a gem of a retreat that deserves to be shared. Feel free to a
