What customers say
This peaceful, rural campsite offers spacious pitches and a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the clean and well-maintained facilities, including a popular communal barn with games and kitchen amenities. Many highlight the site's quiet setting, natural surroundings, and proximity to local attractions like a nearby mere for swimming. Minor points include occasional issues with indoor toilet security and the challenge of finding perfectly level pitches for vehicles.

Quirky and peaceful campsite
Electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked We stayed with electric in 1 of 2 fields on site, on this field all pitches had names and you could choose where you pitched. Owners were so lovely and helpful, couldn’t do enough.

Brilliant stay! We're already looking at a date to return
Electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely small and quiet (apart from the
rooster 🤣) campsite with a great shelter which offers some fab games opportunities, a fridge, a kettle and a toaster along with fresh homemade produce. The owners a fantastic people and can not do enough for you. They have a rentable firepit which costs £10 along with a bucket of wood, any additional wood buckets are charged at £10. The owners were happy for the kids to feed the chickens which kept them amused for ages! The toilets and showers are clean but very basic and could do with an upgrade but they were fine to use. There is a quaint dog friendly public house a short walk away
Disliked There was alot of wasps so maybe some wasp traps may be beneficial

Electric grass and earth tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked The owners really think of everything. It’s clear they understand what people may need when wanting to relax when away. Not imposing but there if anything is needed. Great setting. Hanmer is an unspoilt gem. Facilities were clean and functioned perfectly. Don’t come here for a polished touring site. Come here for a relaxed getaway with simple walks and the mere nearby. Thankyou for a great stay.
