What customers say
This is a friendly, rural farm campsite with spacious, level pitches and beautiful countryside views. Guests praised the helpful owners, clean facilities, and the enjoyable presence of farm animals. The location is excellent for walking, cycling, and visiting nearby attractions and pubs. While some facilities were noted as basic and in need of freshening up, many found the site to be great value and would happily return.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely campsite. The field is slightly slopping in parts but we found a flat patch for our van. The showers/toilets are across the road but it's a quiet enough road to cross. (Some toilets @ the lower end of the field but we didn't visit them.) Loved the Highland Coo's in the next field.
Good location... Only a 5 minute walk to a mini supermarket & a couple of pubs. Ideal location for the Trans Pennine Trail.

Liked Area was beautiful. Shop & fuel nearby
Lovely little walk for a stroll with your dog
Right off the site . Facilities on site were
Reasonably good. Would stay here again.
Great hiking to do in surrounding area. And plenty of pubs for meals close by.
Disliked Quite hard to get a flat pitch in the lower part of the field.
The extra toilets in the field needed refreshing. But there were other ones to use .

Lovely and cute just don’t allow large bookings 👍
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great lovely little site close to a few pubs and lovely countryside views. Fire pits available for free and owner really lovely
Disliked There was a group of approx 20 that were very loud and sweary. As advertised as small and quiet I don’t think the site is big enough for such a large group as they just took over most of the the space and facilities needed cleaning more then daily over busy bank holidays.

Perfect campsite and so cheap for what you get. Thank you so much
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked What a gorgeous farm, lovely scenery with goats, cows and donkeys who are all really friendly, and the nicest hosts ever who will do anything to make your stay comfortable. Flat pitches that were well maintained, immaculate facilities that were spotless and stocked with essentials, and plenty of room on the field for activities. The location is also perfect for loads of different things to do for all ages; we visited 2 pubs/restaurants close by, Calypso Cave at Barnsley Metrodome, Cannon Hall Farm and an all day free arcade at the Retrodome, all within 5/10 minutes drive. Lovely area and friendly attentive owners, we will definitely be back again :)
Disliked Disliked nothing, other than that we couldn't stay for longer!

Very thoughtfully designed site at a very reasonable price
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Really friendly site with plenty of space for grandkids to play. Facilities are good, very well maintained and always very clean. Although touring site is on a hill real care has been taken to ensure that there are plenty of flat pitches. Highland cows, donkeys and goats an added bonus for the kids ( and aging adults!) Close enough ( five minutes on a bike) to the trans pennine trail with off shoot rail trails, and several nature reserves to make for several days interesting cycling. ( don’t forget your binoculars like we did !!!)
Disliked Nothing really - except for the rain !!
