  • 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 for fishing and wild swimming
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. The highlight here is the on-site lake, for wild swims and fishing days (even beginners should get a nibble from the carp here) – but if neither activity takes your fancy, you can simply lie beside the lake or on one of the rustic benches with a book or your own thoughts. (Please note there's a per-rod fishing charge, and it's arranged around the wild swimming.) 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.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovey campsite, quiet, and in beautiful countryside. The toilet and shower block were kept very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Although this was adjacent to a working farm we weren't disturbed by too much noise and in fact what little farm noise we heard enhanced our stay in the countryside.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely location, picturesque and quiet whilst being close to all the places we wanted to visit.
Amenities were great, clean well appointed and the pitches were large.
Hosts couldn’t have been more friendly, present and helpful.
The adult only element was amazing we would certainly recommend and look to return in the future.
Fabulous few days, thanks Pip

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked This place is an absolute gem, I can’t believe how lucky we were to find it! Pip is a wonderful host and you can tell by the quality of the amenities that not only does she care massively about guest experience but that she is ploughing profit back in to the place. We had a lovely grass pitch with no hook up. Sadly we had an issue with our fridge which made me very nervous about food safety as the weather was roasting. Not only did pip make no judgments on my anxiety but she went out of her way to reassure me and to offer a solution. She let us use her fridge and ice blocks, freeze our own and use her address to order a replacement cable from amazon and a delivery grocery shop! And then there is Will. What a gem of a human and an asset to the camp and to Pips team. He helped fit the cable. To those in doubt, the ladies washrooms are spotless, the lake is a lake not a pond, the WiFi is amazing, the grounds are spotless, and you could hear a pin drop day and night. We brought our dogs and I honestly think they had the best time too. The exercise field it outstanding, agai, a small fee for your dog to stay that is put straight back in to the place. It’s a 7 hour drive for us in Scotland but I am already trying to figure out my next stay. Thank you Pip and Will, we left relaxed and refreshed.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great spacious, clean and tidy site and facilities and views, and fishing/swimming lake. Manager was welcoming and informative. Local area beautiful. In the absence of phone/data signal, good value wifi available.

Disliked More suited to caravans and camper vans than tents... lots of early morning farm animal noise meant dawn wake ups. Earplugs advisable. But there are worse ways to wake. And I knew it was a farm site. So not a complaint just advice.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review hope you come again, just to address the animal sounds we do obviously state we are a working farm and as such they will be animal sounds but in this instance there we new cattle to the farm and did make more noise than you would usually hear.

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked We really enjoyed this site. It has a very scenic view of the rolling hills with a very well maintained fishing lake (it is not a pond!) that is also used for wild swimming.
Facilities block was very clean tidy.
There is a massive dog area field out the back where you can let your
Dog have a run off the lead.
TV reception was good but our phone reception (o2) was not great, but the site offers a strong wifi connection at a very reasonable rates - there are different packages, but we paid £2 a day which was well worth it for the quality of wifi.

Thanks to Pip was a very friendly and welcoming host.

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.
