Overall very good as a camp site and beautiful location.
Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (small)
Liked Calder farm is everything that it reads, clean facilities, lovely hot water for showering, washing facilities for pots, on a working farm, plenty of space, very welcoming so why rate a 7 /10?
This probably wasn't the campsite for a 10 year old active child as it was too quiet for them, it was a mum and son camping trip short break. If I was on my own, with a partner/friend, happy to read book, relax recommend highly.
Disliked It's unfair to say disliked as I wasn't sold misinformation, the location is lovely however slightly to far out I felt for what we wanted for out trip, the local pub was not walking distance, we biked it and it was okay for confident riders.
The camping site didn't suit our needs personally, simply too quiet, we stayed for 3 nights, I'll stay for two nights again spend a day biking in Gisburn Forest and that would work better for our needs personally.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Beautiful location and only a short walk to the village and a great pub. Great for exploring on foot or by bicycle, popular small towns are just a short drive away.
The site is well spaced out with a good variety of pitch types. The site is not too big, with everything you need, making it perfect for a relaxing break.

Acorn Pod camping pod
Liked Liked everything. The Pod had all the comforts you need. The views were lovely I could have just sat out on the patio area all day and night. Owner took the trouble to call to see if all was OK. Will be staying for longer next year 😁
