  • Quiet camping in the Wye Valley three miles from the Welsh border
  • On a working farm 15 minutes' drive from the Wye Valley
  • Fire bowls and fuel for hire/sale; lake on site for fishing
Go on and treat yourself to a quiet time at Burhope Farm Campsite, a working farm site near Orcop in Herefordshire, where the scenery is stupendous and the by-night stargazing stellar. Even beginners should get a nibble at the carp-crammed fishing lake here – but if fishing's not your thing, you can simply lie beside the lake or on one of the rustic benches with a book or your own thoughts… When venturing off site, the farm is close enough to Herefordshire's and Shropshire's old market towns and active outdoor options for day trips, but peaceful enough for countryside unwinding and rural strolls in every direction: the Forest of Dean and the Brecon Beacons National Park are both within driving distance and the Wye Valley National Landscape is just a 15-minute drive away. Pitches are in a wide open field with wide open countryside views and access to a drinking water tap every two pitches, plus chemical disposal nearby and grey water disposal. If you're the sort that hopes for first-class amenities on a site too, you're sorted: the centrally heated loo and shower block, disabled facilities and recycling facilities on site are all immaculately maintained. Burhope Farm Campsite welcomes well-behaved dogs.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked The campsite has a beautiful quiet countryside setting and we were lucky to get a pitch with a lovely view of the small lake, where we could relax and watch the birds. The site is beautifully maintained and there is a friendly welcome.

The toilets are very clean, the ladies showers are a little bit basic (I hear the men's are better!) but all ok.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked nil

Disliked This camping site was noisy all day long and even at night making it hard to sleep. If you have sensory issues, avoid.
The women's showers had those awful showers you have to keep pressing every few seconds. The water pressure was terrible, I spent ages trying to get cleaned. The worse is the men's bathroom had a proper shower with a detachable head and temperature control on top of proper liquid hand soap.

The lake is more of large pond. That was disappointing. The water fountain in the middle was noisy. The view was marred by campervans surrounding the whole site.

From the manager: As management we would like to highlight that this review is not a true reflection of Burhope Farm Campsite.

Regarding the noise, other guests staying this same weekend made the following comment on a recent review ''I have never stopped anywere before on a bank holiday weekend where you could here a pin drop.'' (quote taken directly from the customers review).

With regards to your comments about the lake, we are starting to offer wild swimming which would not be possible if the lake was just 'a large pond'. The water fountain is not overly noisy, we have never received any complaints about this before, many guests actually say the opposite and enjoy the peaceful sounds of water flowing, the fountain is also switched off every evening until morning.

Finally noting your comment on the views, whilst there are of course campervans on site (we are a campsite?) our site boasts 360 views of the rolling Herefordshire hills, views that our guests often comment on.

We would like to point out that there are a number of reviews both above and below this one where guests had stayed the same weekend, all of which are completely positive and none mention the noise (in fact they state the opposite). We would also like to note that the views and the peacefulness of the site are factors that we often receive comments on and are some of the many reasons that many of our guests are returning customers.

We are sorry that you feel this way.

Local attractions

History and fishing, canoeing and cycling, pottering around market towns and clambering over old old castles are all handy in Herefordshire, Shropshire and over the border in Powys and east Wales. The fishing in this area is a pull for anglers who come to try their luck at salmon, trout and coarse fishing on the River Wye. Pike of up to 30lb are landed from the Wye each year and it's said by those in the know to be one of the best rivers in Britain for bagging barbel. If you don't fancy fishing, paddle a canoe or kayak along the river on a self-guided or guided trip available from one of the many watersports operators in the area. More canoeing and fishing day trips – and mountain biking, hiking and horse riding – are at the nearby Forest of Dean. Both sides of the England/Wales border have more than their fair share of ancient castles to see – possibly because of all the ancient fighting between the two lands – and really it'd be wrong to come to these here parts without seeing at least one of them. On the English side, thirteenth-century Goodrich Castle, eleventh-century Wigmore Castle and fifteenth-century Hampton Court Castle and Garden (no, not the Henry VIII one) are the ones to view; on the Welsh, go south to super Chepstow Castle or west into the Brecon Beacons for castle ruins at Hay and Carreg Cennen.
