Pond Farm Campsite

Positiv It was level

Negativ Cleanliness and quite ragged operation with families left to run wild. This was not fun but obvious mismanagement.

Positiv I would have to say the location was lovely and rural, there were chickens, pigs and little goats to look at and the area was secured by an electronic gate, which is why you need to ring to gain entry. The food van permanently on site was reasonably priced too, there was a bar (which I didn't use) and bouncy castles for young kids, but that is where the positives end I'm afraid.

Negativ Firstly, we missed the turning because you don't see the sign until you're on top of it. Then we were expecting an electric pitch, but didnt realise it was a first come, first served policy, so we had to do without. We asked for somewhere quiet also, which to be fair, it was for the 1st couple of hours before loads of young couples rocked up. The ground was solid, luckily I'd packed the hard ground pegs or we wouldn't have been able to pitch up. Once we were all set, we discovered there was only 1 port-a-loo for our end of the field, which by the end of our visit was being used by about 30 people (adults and chldren). There was no hand basin to wash your hands either, or light inside for during the night, so very basic. There were no wash facilities at all, not even a wash station for pots, etc. The site was very noisy at night, people playing loud music, drinking, shouting on, swearing, so not very child friendly . The restrictions say no noise after 11, but this wasn't the case. I can only say it was a very "relaxed" site with small children running freely all over, some in just their nappies and the occasional smell of drugs. This isn't the usual type of place we would stay, but it served its purpose.

Positiv Just got home from a 2 night stay at Pond Farm and we can 100% say we will be returning, with our extended family next time. Owners, friends and family are so welcoming and always happy to help out where they can. My son loved making new friends at the playground/ bouncy castle area and also meeting the new baby goats 🥰 Food is lovely and very reasonable priced. Shower blocks are being extended which will make this much better for families when they visit. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Andy, Gary & the rest of the family/ friends 🫶🏻

Positiv This was our first time camping we picked this as it was cheap and not too far away from home. We absolutely loved it there is animals and a little park and they also had bouncing castles.The workers were all very friendly honestly this place should be charging more than £20. You can’t go wrong for the price.

Positiv Really good campsite. All the amenities you need. The staff there are polite and really helpful. A very easy going place to stay.
They are constantly improving the site. Which is a good thing.

Negativ Nothing really. Apart from the sensor on the gate. Needs one of those weight pads for easy access.

Positiv When we arrived at the gate I called the number to get the gate code to gain access I did think the person on the phone was a little bit short with how he explained the gate code but I couldn't of been any more wrong and I can imagine explaining it numerous times a day to various different types of people can be quite tedious, after setting up camp and taking in the views we headed over to pig out there burger van and was absolutely bang on and as far as burger vans go I'd say it's the cordon bleu definitely one of the best I've ever had and prices are crazy cheap which adds to my next bit they aren't about ripping people off, it's family run and those who I'd spoke to the owner and his son I do believe was so welcoming they couldnt do enough for you, proper down to earth genuine nice people I do believe they have a freind who works with or for them ANDY and he was no different top bloke couldn't do enough for you and spoke and treated the site as if it was his own, they all showed they had not just a passion for what their doing but also a vision of what they want to achieve and they are definitely on the rite track. I've seen some reviews of people complaining about toilets yes they only have one block with 1 male and 1 female toilet and 1 shower block for both which I must add they are verry clean and obviously checked regularly, I do understand why people mite complain or be negative about it but they have taken steps to make it better now have porta loos dotted about and are in the process of building a bigger toilet/ shower block. Rome wasn't built in a day but if it was I'd want these guys doing it what they have built here is in my eyes exceptional I haven't got even half a complaint and will. 100%be going back probably even this weekend, don't miss out on this little gem get booked on you won't regret it unless your a snobby stuck up kind of person /people then roll on by because it's no ritz but if ritz did camping this is it only stayed one night but would live there if I could and for me to feel like that after only one night if you knew me speaks volumes. Thank you so much to all at pond farm see you again real soon

Positiv It was a quiet site for the most part and nice space between pitches and few people on the site.
Basic facilities were clean.
Generally no fuss.

Negativ Two large dogs that barked very aggressively as you walked to the toilets. They were in a cage but very large and aggressive. I did get used to it in the end.

Positiv Relaxed approach from owner, great extras like bouncy castle, free to use, and attention given to toilets and site cleanliness. Good truck had great food range and very reasonable prices.

Negativ Could benefit from more permanent toilets and more shower facilities

Positiv Fella was helpful when we arrived onsite

Negativ We drove in & straight back out as not the vibe for us: Bar tent in the middle of the field playing loud music & toilets are portaloos.
