What customers say
This large, well-located campsite offers plenty of space and a natural setting, with many visitors praising the friendly and helpful staff. Families appreciate the farm and adventure playground, and the option for campfires. While facilities are often described as basic, the portaloos and showers are generally found to be clean, though some guests wished for more substantial amenities. The site provides good access to London and is considered good value by many, though some found it a little pricey for the provisions.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
We'll definitely be back, staff were all very friendly
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lots of space, the kids enjoyed the farm and playground.
I really appreciated that the camp site has a security on site and that they walk around the field in the evening.
Disliked Having to pay to have a fire.
The port a loo style toilets were a bit gross, people leaving No. 2's visible instead of continuing to flush was a constant problem and not nice to have to deal with when young kids are desperate to use the toilet.

Okay for one night, clean portaloos & lots of children playing
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We liked that the toilets were regularly cleaned & restocked. Playground that is nearby is great & my boy loved it.
Disliked There are proper toilets, but they are a short walk away. The toilets that are on the campsite are portaloos. Just two tap sink stations (both serving as a way to wash hands after using the toilet & washing up kitchen crockery.) at peak times, this wasn't enough , plus the water here is cold, there is no hot feed. The campsite is on a hill. Check in information that got sent was too much, got given multiple postcodes to use & one of them took me down a private road to a dead end in the woods. Quite dear considering the facilities.

A good family campsite or first time campers
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Zak on the desk and all other staff extremely helpful, even a security guard over night.
Great walks, and lot’s to do.
It was quite busy and when its’s busy you tend to be close to other campers (which is fine if you like that) but if you want some peace and space then maybe not this site.
We took our dog, wasn’t many other dogs around which worked well for us.
Disliked Poortaloo’s - very clean on arrival around lunchtime, but by the morning horrid.

I’ve already recommended this campsite and they’ve already stayed!
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Such a fabulous campsite with lots of activities very close for my daughter. Staff were very polite and helpful. The toilets and showers were exactly as they said they were in the description, and if the Porto style isn’t somewhere you like to go, there is a hardstanding toilet block near the play area.

A great stay but facilities are basic.
Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The freedom of the site
The staff were really helpful and friendly
The price seemed correct for the basic site provisions.
Disliked Only portaloos and only 4 in the field I stayed in right in the bottom corner which is not ideal for people on one side of the field.
One hot tap sink out in the open and one cold tap sink next to it

Non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Easy and fast check in, great atmosphere, relaxed and calm. Beautiful grounds. Close enough to get into London city easily but far enough away to be in the countryside. Love that you can pitch up anywhere.
Disliked Only issue was that the toilets were often unclean and unsanitary. For such a large campsite a shower / sink / toilet upgrade would be ideal.

From the manager: Thank you for your positive comments and feedback. We do have staff that do constant checks and cleans throughout the day and have staff in early and late to ensure that we can get this covered throughout the early morning and late evening too. However, they are only as clean as the last camper has left them, so do rely on campers to not leave these in a mess after use.

From the manager: Thank you for leaving a review and good to receive feedback from our campers.
We do have security onsite to attend to these which all campers have the number provided on their wristbands if there are any issues and if others are not following our campsite rules, so our security guards can then follow this up.
