Despite a leaking tent, we had a lovely time at Baystone Bank, so much so that we intend on returning next year and staying in one of the glamping pods. The mountain view is simply fabulous - waking up, making a brew, and gazing upon the majestic White Combe and her companions from your camp chair while nursing said brew is a beautiful soulful tonic. Tranquil, serene, sublime, this is a campsite for those of us who appreciate Mother Nature and her green, green grass. We fell asleep to the sounds of a babbling brook, which runs through the middle of the site, and a cooing owl. Baystone Bank is a delightful campsite for walkers, hikers, and those wanting to get away from the daily hubbub. The site is clean and very well kept, with friendly staff and a quaint onsite cafe. I had one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had, served by Steve - the cafe had a cosy, comforting vibe, a million miles away from the pretentiousness of 2023. Farm eggs and a proper mug - perfection. The wardens, Tony and Ann, were lovely and very passionate about their work. They strived to make sure visitors adhered to the rules - and unfortunately, some did not adhere to either the rules or common courtesy. If you want a more boisterous site, to cater for young and rowdy children - as young children generally are - this is not the site for you. And the showers were clean and comfortable. Very few things in life are absolutely perfect, and Baystone Bank, at least for me, is no exception - but these comments are ‘niggly’ ones, nothing substantial. The brook was so lovely, but there didn’t appear to be any electric hook-up pitches next to it (and I’m most definitely an EHU kinda camper!); our pitch sloped slightly, which didn’t make for the easiest tent organisation; and when the wardens weren’t on shift, the rules weren’t enforced, which meant discourteous campers were at large - one camper opening and closing their car door repeatedly at 11pm while they set up; rambunctious children hollering at 10pm (and kicking balls into tents); and children, including teenagers, climbing the fences into off-limits areas. Overall, 9/10 (the last point being withheld because the rules weren’t enforced when the wardens were off shift) and as I’ve said, we intend on returning next year :)…
