Lovely small friendly campsite
Electric grass pitch
Liked Love this fairly small, well run campsite. This was our second visit and definitely won't be the last! The facilities building is kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper at all times. Karen and Simon, the onsite management team, are always available and so very helpful and super friendly. The site is well situated, with plenty of places to visit within a 20-50 mins car drive away - seaside towns / zoo's and wildlife centres / Digger Land etc. and all the major grocery stores within a 10 min drive. Campfires in a firepit are allowed and a limited amount are available for hire, along with the sale of logs and kindling.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Another awesome 4 days spent at Painters Farm Campsite. We were a large family group and Simon and Karen were so accommodating throughout our stay. They are always cheerful and ensure our stay was a memorable one. Peaceful location, very clean facilities,
Very reliable wi-fi and the local pub was always a winner with a great selection of food. We have been back home a few days and my children are still talking about how great it was at the Orchard, especially picking the plums from the trees! Thank you Simon and Karen.

Great Campsite
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely peaceful place. Great location. Karen and her partner are really friendly and accommodating.
