What customers say
Bush Farm offers a "wild camping" experience with spacious pitches, riverside locations, and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the freedom to choose their spot, friendly staff, and natural surroundings. Amenities like hot showers and toilets are generally clean and well-maintained, though some describe them as basic or "quirky." While many enjoy the peace and quiet, a few mention noise from other campers or events during peak times. Some reviews highlight the natural, less manicured aspects of the farm, which may not appeal to everyone.

Une belle ambiance le samedi soir,…
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (wild)
Liked Une belle ambiance le samedi soir, possibilité de manger pizzas, burgers, breakfasts. Un camping très grand, compartimenté, donc on peut se mettre oú on veut, on a de l'espace. Un accueil chaleureux.
Disliked Les toilettes et les douches trop peu nombreux et mal entretenus.

Really liked it, convenient, lovely scenery. Definitely recommend
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (wild)
Liked Options of different fields etc. Facilities were mostly good, and a good amount.
Food on site and availability of campfires, bins etc was good. Felt like a lot of thought had gone into it.
Disliked A few minor problems with some facilities (one very cold shower, and one with slipping mats, one toilet wouldnt flush) but mostly to be expected. and a lack of soap (but a good amount of toilet paper.
The only thing we were a bit unsure of, was the rule of no driving on site after 9pm, a bit of a problem if you want to go out locally in the eve, or dont make it back from an outing in time.

Not a quiet site at peak times.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (wild)
Liked The onsite pizza van.
The amount of space and freedom to choose.
The friendly check in.
The scenery.
Disliked Litter left by previous campers (cigarette buts and wet wipes hanging in the hedges).
Leaking toilet sinks and filthy toilet paper.
Onsite event all afternoon with megaphones spoiling the peace and quiet.
Partying till 10pm.
Howling and barking dogs.
Awoken in night by arguing people and cars driving past my tent.
I wasn't happy with my experience compared to other sites where I've paid the same. The site clearly needs better supervision and regular checking for litter & cleanliness when busy and rules about quiet times made more visible.

Overall we loved this place, especially my partner and son.
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (wild)
Liked Large selection of pitches to choose from with 1 great for viewing the sunset. Goats in 1 of the fields in a pen and sometimes let out for stroking. Haybales available at this time useful for privacy and shelter.
Great for dogs, very dog friendly.
Great Polish food with friendly chef Roman. Also pizza available separately. Live music on the Saturday was excellent.
Breakfast available but not always open.
Some alcohol available at the pizza takeaway.
The shower pressure was wxcellent and perfect temperature at any time of the day that we used it. Toilet roll was provided.
Great little area of the river for kids and dogs to play in with a little slide.
Disliked No campsite shop except for cold drinks and ice lollies.
Shower was thick with cobwebs and large spiders which could just use sweeping out.

Excellent wild camping with facilities that are more than adequate
Non-electric grass and earth tent or motorhome pitch (wild)
Liked Space, facilities and location.
The variety of fields was great - it meant that whilst the farm clearly had campers, it didn’t feel busy and there’s plenty of cool places to pitch up
Tent only field was great for me, down by the river and it felt like I had the entire hillside to myself
Facilities were excellent with great help from the owners and staff.
Onsite pizza and polish street food too!! Check timings and I’ll be definitely not brining my own food next time so I can indulge!
Will be back - highly recommended for something a little more wild and definitely rural
Oh and the shower - perfect temp and pressure - could have stayed under that for hours
