A lovely little campsite and would highly recommend
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Campsite, communal area, horse box showers, local pub and fish and chip shop
Disliked Close to the road but this is only a minor issue compared with all the positives

Absolutely Wonderful with everything you’d need.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great welcome. Horse box toilet and shower. Lots of room. Easy to find. 3 mins walk to the local shop, little further for the chippy. Free toiletries for the shower that are eco-friendly and vegan. Communal seating area with power for charging was brilliant.
Disliked Not much really, if I could be picky I camped right next to the road side so I’d camp further away in the future and it wouldn’t be an issue.

would love to go back.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great hosts, atmospheric with the connection to the past. Close to pub, shop and chippy.
Disliked No dislikes really but please don't move the site, just have a re-shuffle as I understand you don't always want campers on your lawn. You could make more of the Nissen huts and surrounds surely? The ghosts of the past are crucial to the sites charm.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very accommodating host who went above and beyond in order to make my stay comfortable. The communal area is a real asset on what was a miserably wet stay. This was a nice place to relax out of the rain and also very handy in packing up in the dry. Shower is nice and hot and a basic but practical shower/toilet/sink set up.
Disliked The road was a little noisy but nothing the hosts have any influence over

Good for overnight stop-off
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely undercover space with seating, lighting and outlets - good when you only have a small tent - also had wifi which is much appreciated! Short walk into the nearby village for supplies/food.
Disliked Campsite is near to a main road, which was loud even overnight. The shower and toilet are together, so I imagine would be a problem even if more than a few people were staying at the site - it also didn't smell very clean, probably as it is hard to air out an old horsebox.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Hillside Farm Camping. We're sorry that the road noise was a problem for you, it's usually much quieter at night. There are two toilet and shower cubicles and we have them both open when there are a lot of guests staying and we've never had a problem with capacity. The toilet/shower is cleaned daily and topped up with liquid when necessary and smell is not usually a problem - if we know about it, we can deal with it immediately.
Loved the landscape- calm and tranquil are two words describing this place…
