What customers say
Paradise Barn is a peaceful, adults-only campsite praised for its quiet rural location and spacious, level pitches. Visitors highlight the friendly and accommodating owners, Alan and Janet, who often organise social events like BBQs with live music. Facilities are generally described as clean and adequate, though some mention minor issues with shower heads, a lack of hand dryers, and limited facilities during busier periods. Walks and local countryside are popular, though some find the nearest pub a considerable distance away.

Lovely big field with a pond in one corner. Watched a deer and the birds enjoying themselves. Met Pancake who is one of the owner's cats.
Had a few chats with Alan the owner who is very accommodating and friendly and doing a great job along with his wife Janet.
No complaints from me. 👍🙂✌️

Electric grass pitch
Liked Quiet and all to ourselves which was a surprise on a weekend! Lovely lanes and footpaths to wander. Beautiful village churches to look around. So much birdsong in the hedgerows to listen to after enjoying walks. Facilities perfectly adequate for us. If I was still a tent camper I’d be ok with what is there too! I used to camp with kids - portaloo in a toilet tent, tap in field for water and a place to empty loo! Happy memories!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Large pitches, plenty of space on a huge field, reasonably flat. Clean facilities with hot water. Friendly welcome I didn't realize it was cash only and didn't have any but I was allowed to book in and pay later.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Friendly owner, field was well maintained.
Disliked Shower could have been better, water was hot but showerhead was poor and no shower curtain meant water went all over the floor and into my shoes. Nothing to dry hands on after washing them.
