What customers say
KMF Camping's praised for its stunning spot, top hosts, and roomy, private sites. Guests loved the eco-friendly loos and showers, plus alpacas! Nearby Kirkharle Courtyard adds extras. Occasional road noise noted, but most would return.

Unpowered grass campervan site
Liked Lovely friendly site in a pretty setting and dark sky. Really good communication from Gillian beforehand and Paul greeted me personally and showed me round. They offered to let me stay later for a more leisurely departure as there was no one booked on the pitch after. I felt safe as a solo female camper.
Disliked More traffic noise from nearby road than I expected.

A wholesome and quaint gem of a campsite! We will definitely be back!
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Paul and Gillian were super lovely and friendly hosts! The campsite itself is quirky and picturesque, with all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay. The addition of alpacas, chickens, sheep and a resident barn owl makes it a perfect place if you’re wanting a peaceful and wholesome experience in nature as well as lots to keep kids entertained.
Paul and Gillian were so kind to let our 7yr old help out with feeding the alpacas and teaching her all about the animals, she was thrilled to be there and can’t thank them enough for making her camping trip so magical.
We will most definitely be back to explore more of the surrounding area and hope there’s room for us at KMF Camping as we truly feel we’ve found a gem!
Thank you so much!
Disliked That we didn’t stay longer!

Our new favourite site!
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked A quiet and relaxed atmosphere with very welcoming hosts, spacious and well separated pitches, a great set-up of basic eco-focussed amenities, and resident alpacas... all made for a great short stay for me and my son (10).
A very well run site, in a good location, easy access to country walks and a very short walk to the charming Kirkharle Courtyard.
If you're looking for a fancy play area, posh shower blocks, and parking your car right next to your tent, this may not be for you. But for us it was a perfect low-key camping experience, with an emphasis on getting back to nature and being mindful of our impact, but still with everything we needed on hand, to make it a very comfortable stay.

Liked Wonderful campsite! Loved the long grass between the pitches and the spacious pitches, hosts very welcoming from the start, alpacas provided lots of entertainment, really well thought out - especially small hut with games for kids ideal in the rain! Thank you!

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Paul and Gillian were very friendly and helpful, facilities were simple and rustic but clean, functional and pleasant. We enjoyed the alpacas and the little cabin with seats and toys and games, a useful place to hang out with our early rising son! Very nice surrounds with beautiful old church, Kirkharle courtyard with a wee playpark, lake walk and milkshake machine! Campsite was nicely laid out with really generous pitches and lots of space so it felt quite private!
Disliked The only complaint I have was there was a bit of noise from the road. Not a problem overnight but audible during most waking hours. Although our son did enjoy watching the tractors!

From the manager: Thanks for your review Sarah. We are glad you all enjoyed the site. Not much to be done about the road pros and cons for being so rural but handy to reach lots of locations quickly without much fuss.

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked We loved the small size of this site. Only 6 tent pitches in the field ... there could have easily been 4 times this number but we were grateful that there weren't!
We also loved that its part of the The Greener Camping Club.
Gillian and Paul provided a personal service meeting us and showing us around the site and their communication was first class. What a lovely couple who have created a truly amazing camp site!
