The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping

Liked Me and my daughter had the best time, originally booked for 1 night but we asked to add a second night because of how much fun we were having. We met another lovely family and my daughter and their child got on incredibly well. The kids love the independence of going to the shops, running wild in the outdoors which is how life should be. There is a shop on sight which is pretty well stocked tbf.

Disliked I’m pretty petite so I like to think, and I go to parks ALOT with my daughter and we use the swings together and never had a I ever had any issues with a swing breaking.

I wasn’t evening swinging on it I was sat on the swing for 3-5 minutes and it gave way. Very lucky it was me and not a child swinging very very high - could’ve ended in a very different way. And then they fixed it with tape and then I noticed it had broken again after that. So perhaps a stronger swing?!

Liked I recently stayed at this campsite for 1 night with my friend and her son. What stood out most to me were the facilities, which felt more unique than what you’d typically find at other campsites.

There’s a small on-site shop, which was really convenient, and an outdoor bar with a sheltered seating area that created a great social atmosphere. In the evenings, there was music playing, not too late into the night so it added to the vibe without being disruptive.

One of the highlights was the animals on site. There were goats that you could feed by purchasing food from the shop for £1, which was a nice touch, especially for families. There were also birds to see, which added to the overall charm of the place.

The campsite had two separate toilet blocks, which helped keep things accessible and avoided long waits. Food options were also available, including pizza, burgers, and breakfast, which made things very convenient if you didn’t feel like cooking. An ice cream van arrived also which was nice as the weather was warm , till later was rain.

Overall, it’s a well-equipped campsite with a few extra touches that make it stand out from the usual experience.

Disliked However, there were a few downsides. There was no hand soap in the toilet facilities, and many of the waste bins were full, which affected cleanliness.

We also had an issue that unfortunately impacted our stay. There were several children playing near the goats and behaving inappropriately, including putting leaves into the goat enclosure, which is harmful to the animals. My friend’s son copied what the other children were doing, but only my friend was spoken to about it, despite other children being involved. This felt unfair and could have been handled better by addressing all of the children and parents rather than singling one out. I recommend adding cameras or a clearer sign about the leaves can be toxic.

Liked Great, safe family campsite. Good food, drinks & shop. Bathrooms and washing up areas simple but clean. Good value for money. We LOVE that we can have (contained) camp fires! Liked meeting the goats and holding an owl! Thank you for closing down the children’s play area when it got dark. Fourth year we’ve camped there and we’ll be back!

Disliked The noise from trains is a bit off-putting, but just use ear plugs at night and you’ll be fine.
