What customers say
Cuckoo Farm's a ripper! Spotless facilities, especially the showers, and friendly staff in a lovely rural spot. Great for families with a farm shop and swimming stream. A few mentioned train noise and slightly sloping sites, but most reckon it's ace and will be back. Top marks for cleanliness and vibes!

Clean, friendly and good place
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Well laid out site with working farm and great amenities block with farm shop. Super friendly team and WiFi.
Disliked Water access for Campers is spaced out so you have to move between your pitch and the water point. Access road is poor quality - slow drive and it works in the dry.

As I said above have been twice now and will be back again soon.
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Plenty of space for us. The toilet block was immaculate. Check in very easy (we have been before).
Other children about for our grandson to play with. Quiet in the evening. Nice pubs close by.
Planning to go back in a few weeks time.
Only downside was a very bumpy road leading into the site. There was a sign about roadworks in late April so perhaps addressing that then.
Disliked Only the road leading in.

Lovely campsite, dog friendly, with excellent facilities
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely campsite. Karen & Andy were super friendly and helpful. We loved the facilities - decent showers, and nice treat to have an indoor washing up area. Also loved the onsite shop, with lots of stuff from the farm. Hardly noticed the trainline at all - and i am very sensitive to noise! It was so lovely and quiet at night too. Slept really well. Good value for money. Also loved our neighbours (The sheep:)!)
Disliked The narrow lane and pot holes to get into the campsite, but this is common in rural areas - would just not want to arrive when it's dark, but that's a personal thing.

Excellent clean and well facilitated family site
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Spacious pitches, well stocked site shop, clean and roomy showers. Nice to see the deer in the neighbouring field. We walked to The Rutland Vineyard from the site, which only took about 15 minutes and was well worth a visit. Also walked to the beautiful village of Ketton and had a lovely visit to the fabulous Railway Inn. It was the Easter holidays when we visited and we don’t have young children anymore, so possibly we would avoid a family site at peak holiday times in future - only because our idea of peace now is different to years ago! You will need your levellers as the site is sloped.
Disliked Storm Dave that arrived the night we pitched up! But our new awning survived it so it was a good test.

Liked Really nice owners who were extremely welcoming! There was a real friendly ‘buzz’ around the site but it was lovely and quiet through the night. Facilities were clean and I felt really safe as a woman camping alone. Highly recommend!

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked We stayed at Cuckoo Farm in our VW camper. It is a fabulous, well cared for family run site with friendly staff and super clean shower block. I thought the shower block was brand new but apparently it is 6 years old ! It is the best shower block I have ever used in any UK campsite !!
I swam in the little stream/river.......was a wonderful bracing start to the day.
My husband did a work call on the wifi and it was super fast and reliable. We will be back ...it is a beautiful, peaceful spot .

A very warm welcome here.
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked There’s lots of space and lovely sheep and rabbits to watch. we could have a fire pit which we like. The lady on reception was lovely and informative too. She made me feel so welcome when I checked in. Our dogs loved exploring this clean and pretty site.
Disliked Nothing.
