What customers say
This is a lovely, peaceful family-friendly campsite with very clean facilities and exceptionally friendly, welcoming owners. Guests praised the spacious pitches, the engaging play areas and barn for children, and the interaction with friendly farm animals such as goats and donkeys. While some noted the absence of showers and drinking water, most found this acceptable for short stays, especially given the reasonable price and the overall positive experience. The site is highly recommended for families with young children.

Fantastic campsite with the friendliest owners
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The location is peaceful and well-kept, perfect for a relaxing break. What really made the experience stand out were the owners. They were extremely friendly and welcoming. We spoke with them on a few occasions during our stay, and each time, they asked if we needed anything or if there was anything they could do to make us more comfortable.

Excellent site for kids, really lovely staff and clean toilets
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Such a lovely campsite for families with young kids. The girls (age 4 and 5) absolutely loved the playground and seeing all the animals on site.
We enjoyed renting the fire pit and roasting our marshmallows in the evenings.
Staff were fantastic with the kids. Also easily contactable or nearby in very easy to spot purple Malpas t-shirts.
In addition to the campsite, on the Sunday the role play cafe on site was open and the girls absolutely loved this and didn’t want to go home.

We have children 5 & 2.…
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We have children 5 & 2. We really enjoyed this site, it’s a small site with a playground right next to the pitches, so kids can play within your eye line. There’s rabbits, donkeys, goats & sheep. The goats spent some time roaming round the site which was fun.
The atmosphere was perfect, there was about 15 pitches tops, all families with kids similar ages, all respectful which always helps.
Toilets clean, tuck shop with ice creams.
The staff couldn’t have done more, especially Nancy. All very welcoming.

Exceptional
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Absolutely fantastic little place especially for young children. We stayed with our 3 year old triplets and had the best time. Play area, the animals and the play barn was exceptional and we will definitely be back! Staff are all very friendly and relaxed. Aldi, McD, pubs and parks close by.
Disliked Maybe a communal freezer so people can re freeze ice packs and a communal microwave.

Magical Malpas was exactly what it…
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Magical Malpas was exactly what it said on the tin! I lovely family run farm perfect for my short stay with my toddler. Owners were great, when we had only booked for one night they let us stay another when my son begged me to stay! Toilets were clean and easily accessible. A great small farm you can see everything you need to from all of the pitches, liked that it wasnt proper assigned pitches and just able to pitch up wherever you liked (as long as there was space)
My little boy loved the play area and all of the animals - especially the goats who got out a few times for a walk and he could stroke them and brush them
100% would come again
