Liked: We loved this campsite and haven’t stopped raving about it since we went! There’s animals to feed,a trampoline and slide to play on,a lovely bit of woods,fire pits and wood to hire and even food to feed the sheep, pigs and cows! It was the perfect camping experience and our little boy LOVED it! Wasn’t too busy but other families around as well. Really recommend!

Liked: Lovely tranquil site, the trampoline and tyre swing and open grassy area dor ball games went down well with the children. We recommend the site to anybody wanting a quiet getaway. Plenty of room to be far away from each other.
Disliked: There were about 10 families there this weekend, I think a couple more composting toilets are needed ... 2 toilets isn't enough. Also more sawdust please.

Liked: Small family run campsite on a working farm. My son could feed the pigs and sheep and play on the slide and trampoline. We enjoyed exploring the woods and walking to Semley village which has a great pub, village stores and milkshake vending machine from Church Farm Dairy.
