What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained site on a working farm with spacious, flat pitches and lovely views. Visitors praised the clean, modern toilet and shower facilities, noting thoughtful extras like kettles and hairdryers. The friendly owners and farm animals were a highlight, making it ideal for families. While most found the site excellent, a few noted minor issues with the basic toilet enclosures and a desire for more on-site amenities.

Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely campsite, would definitely recommend! Spacious and plenty flat space for our berghaus 6xl. The kids absolutely loved being on a working farm – they were thrilled with the animals and tractors, which kept them entertained for hours. The farmer was so friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. A great spot for families looking for something a bit different

Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely location super friendly. Very easy. Beautiful site
Disliked Just not enough toilets or showers - two between two fields of tents. Always a long queue is difficult with kids.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I’m afraid the nature of going anywhere on a bank holiday will always mean queuing somehow, weather that be on the roads, to use the facilities or for fish and chips at the seaside! There are never queues on normal weekends.
Very glad you liked the site, thank you. Hope to see you again sometime and you can experience how peaceful the place is usually
highly recommended indeed!
Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked If you’re looking for simple camping - this is a perfect place
Such a lovely camp site on a working farm with enough facilities to accommodate all
The owners interaction suggested it was normal to go above and beyond to make visitors welcome
We watched him spend more than an hour trying to help someone with a car problem and he made time to have a chat with most campers at some stage throughout their stay
The owners’ care and passion for all they do is obvious ❤️
Disliked Having to leave ☹️

Non-electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Quiet relaxed site with loads of room for the kids to play, friendly owners and lovely location
Disliked There are not enough toilet and showere facilities for the amount of guests. It was a constant queue!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I’m afraid the nature of going anywhere on a bank holiday will always mean queuing for the facilities- had you stayed an extra night you’d have been sharing the campsite with only 4 other tents.
Very glad you liked the site, thank you
Great campsite if you're looking for the basics, just to my taste
Non-electric grass tent, touring caravan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Large campsite on open fields. We had a family stay for 5 days to explore York and surroundings, and it was an excellent stay. You're on a farm and the whole family are engaged, which adds to the experience. Toilets and dishwashing good, shower drainage iffy but perfectly hygienic within 'basic' categorisation. And having a shower with the sun coming over the door in the morning was great! Loads of space for kids to run around, and the owner was there to keep noise down at night with (sadly) the inevitable rowdies. (Stay was over bank holiday so very busy for 3 days in the middle, but site and facilities coped well) Really good stay and would go back.
Disliked OK, these relate to me, and they're not criticisms of the site, rather observations! We camped beside the big oak, but chose the west side and should have been on the east to enjoy sunshine with morning brew. This would have also moved us down from the morning ducks :-) Wind was also interesting, tended to pick up at dusk and then drop back, as an open site quite a few people had windbreaks. We just layered up and sat closer to the fire pit!
