Liked The location of the campsite was absolutely stunning, with picturesque views that made it feel like a real escape. The site itself was nicely presented and had a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere throughout our stay. It was also incredibly quiet, with only two other visitors during our four days there, which made for a very calm and enjoyable experience overall.
Disliked Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the facilities was very disappointing. The shower rooms and toilets were dirty, with visible cobwebs, spiders, and dust, suggesting that cleaning was infrequent. More concerning was the shared kitchen area. On arrival, there appeared to be rotting food scattered across the floor, and the bin was not emptied for at least two days. The smell was extremely unpleasant—strong enough to make you retch upon entering the building. This was a real shame, as it detracted significantly from an otherwise lovely setting.

Liked An ideal place for families with children. The owners are friendly, there are plenty of animals around, and fishing ponds are nearby. A 10-minute walk or less than 5-minute drive takes you to The Fox Inn pub, where you can enjoy a delicious dinner.
You can book a billiards table or a pool on site.

Anonymous Electric optional grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The farm has loads of room for kids to run around and play, there are also a couple of swings on a tree in the campsite that kept my son busy for ages. The walks around the ponds are lovely and quiet, but there were a lot of biting insects, which is to be expected on a farm in the summer, so pack bite spray if, like me, you're prone to being bitten. It was only a short walk through the fields to the local pub which is also quiet and friendly, and serves great food. All the facilities here are clean and well maintained. Also, they are located close to the campsite, so you don't have to walk really far in the dark for a late night wee. We also enjoyed the friendly farm dogs who popped in and out of the campsite, my son loved playing fetch with them, and one came and relaxed by our campfire one evening. Overall, we had a wonderful few days at Moonfleet, and we would definitely visit again.
