  • Quiet camping in the Wye Valley three miles from the Welsh border
  • Lake on site for fishing
  • Fire bowls and fuel for hire/sale
Blessed peace and biting fish… serenity seekers and amateur anglers alike can hope for a restfully quiet time at Burhope Farm Campsite near Orcop in Herefordshire, where the scenery is stupendous and the by-night stargazing stellar. Even the uninitiated 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 easy reach. 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 welcomes well-behaved dogs.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: What a fantastic campsite. On arrival I met Pip the owner, who was very helpful and gave us a printout of all important information that we needed to know and useful information about local amenities and showed us to our pitch. It had everything we needed, a fabulous clean and well maintained shower block, hot showers, plenty of room by the showers for all your stuff so you didn't have to worry about it getting wet, never ran out of loo roll or hand wash and the loos didn't have the your typical camping daddy long legs flying about in them.
It's a lovely peaceful campsite too, you're not pitched on top of each other and have lots of room around your tent so you don't hear the conversations from your neighbours.
We had our dog Freda with us, who loved making use of the 2 acre dog pen.
From here we visited Ross-on-Wye to go paddleboarding on the River Wye and the following day to have a wonder around the town. I feel though that there is so much more to visit around the area and would love to stay again for a longer duration.

Disliked: Was a bit of a trek to the loos, did get good at planning strategic wees and kept an eye on when I had my last drink at night to avoid having to get up in the night to go😆

Liked: Peaceful site, great views. Fishing lake in the middle. Toilet block clean. Wifi available for a charge. Adults only.

Disliked: No path from touring pitches to toilet block so take suitable footwear for walking on dewy/wet grass.
Showers were free but only on for 15 seconds at a time.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: A little of the beaten track which made for a very quiet and peaceful stay. Pip, the owner was a wonderful host, given that the council had decided to resurface the road without notice. She has an enthusiasm for the site which couldn't be diminished. The tranquility of the site was amazing and the views wonderful. Definitely be going back.

Disliked: Bit of a trek to the toilets.

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.
