Thorpe Cloud View Camping

Positiv Lovely, peaceful camp site with amazing views. The site is laid out in about 3 rows on a gentle hill so no matter where you pitch up, you get full view of the amazing scenery without other campers blocking the view or feeling like you are overlooking them too much.

Ed explained everything on arrival very well. You choose your own pitch on arrival, which is fantastic. The toilets and showers were nice and clean. While you can park your car on your pitch, there is also a car park at the entrance to the site too. I made use of this some nights to avoid getting stuck on the grass when it was wet and boggy as I only have a little hatchback.
Nothing seemed like too much trouble for Ed. He would come check on all campers everyday to make sure we were ok and for a chat, which is a lovely touch. He seems to really care about the place.

There's so much to do in the local area too that we couldn't fit into 4 nights, so we will definitely be using this site again in the future.

Negativ The driveway leading to the site is very uneven and rocky. For a little hatchback with low ground clearance you just have to take it slow.

And as its on a hill, some of the pitches are on a slope and some steeper than others. Nothing too dramatic but something to note. Didn't impact our stay.

Positiv I had a fantastic time at this campsite, everything was just right. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, the setting was peaceful, and it was clear a lot of care goes into running the place. A special thanks to Ed, the site framer, who was incredibly nice and welcoming. His warmth really added to the experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to others!

Positiv Friendly Staff, excellent layout, tranquility surrounded by sheep.
Ed the farmer can even supply you with a basket of fire for a small fee.

Clean toilets too.....

Positiv What is not to love here? First of all Ed the farmer, what a guy! Honestly fantastic host, funny, helpful and knowledgeable (just not at shearing sheep apparently). Top guy, we have 0 complaints. He was doing a check in when we were being harrassed by some wasps and he said “give me three minutes” and he came back with incense sticks to deter them. Absolute legend, they worked!

Enough about Ed because that will go to his head.

This place offers spectacular views from any pitch site, the layout makes it feel private instead of those square fields where you face your neighbours. The amenities are spot on! For the price you get actual toilets, wash room and showers. All clean and well lit at night. You can buy wood and a log burner for £12, literally excellent value for money.

Back to Ed a second too, he came round and gave us this thing to put in the fire that makes it change colour. Honestly topped the night off perfectly, silent rolling hills. (Would recommend the naughty corner - ask Ed)

I cannot fault one thing here, I strongly recommend. I usually camp solo too and I’d feel so comfortable to do that here. I also recommend pitching in the “naughty corner” if it’s available. The views are just unreal for an hour away from town.

Best campsite I’ve been on so far, see you again soon for the cuppa Ed! Thank you x

Negativ Nothing, trip was just what was needed, will be back! (That’s not a threat it’s a promise)

Positiv The incredible views and the very friendly welcome.

Negativ The site could do with a slightly larger toilet block, it was a bit cramped.
