Stampley Moss Farm

Liked Travelled with my husband and 2 children (7 and 11). The location was excellent, feels like you're in the middle of nowhere however, local amenities are just a 5 minute drive away. There is plenty of space for the children to run around and they had a great time collecting wood (already chopped) for the fire. There are animals roaming, my girls really liked to watch the peacock. The highlight of the trip was my daughters getting to see and interact with the horses. Although these are personal horses and this is not part of the camping experience, Louise and her daughter Anya were really welcoming and allowed my girls to have a small ride around the paddock. I would definitely recommend this site for a family friendly off grid experience.

From the manager: Hi sorry you did not enjoy the wild camp. There is no facilities as clearly stated on the wild camping listing. There is a tap . You were sent a text message on Thursday prior to your check in on Friday which unfortunately you didn’t read by driving to the wrong place .
“Please close the double wooden gates (please close after you as we have several dogs)…..
Please don't approach the house as there are a number of dogs just text or call & we will come no problem  … Theres a water tap behind the riding arena. Just text if you would like  to drink bottle water and we will bring some but there is a tap cold water hose…”

We could have brought you bottled water as much as you liked & by not closing the gate Laura likes to visit people & in the main most repeat guests love Laura she’s a very quiet little dog who has had a very sad life. She’s most certainly not a stray & most enjoy seeing her .
Sorry you didn’t enjoy the wild camp

From the manager: Thank you very much for your booking we would love to host you again

Liked The site grounds were spacious and the ability to pitch wherever was nice.

Disliked Lack of ANY facilities. There was one portaloo available for a full campsite that was quickly made dirty and unsanitary, the views were poor as it was in the middle of what felt like someones back garden with a horse training school and powerlines right through the center.

The clientele that this site draws was also dissaponting. Many families letting their kids and dogs run around uncontrolled. Very unsafe given the multiple lit firepits.
Adults getting very drunk and having arguments at 0100 in the morning.
Myself and friend were approached and asked to call the police at one point.
No light or noise control was put in place so trying to sleep with music and loud shouting was impossible.

£20 a night for what essentially was a patch of very uneven, sloped grass with no real toilet or washing up facilities.

From the manager: Unfortunately the family concerned were incredibly badly behaved and were reported to pitch up & I text them my infuriation being woken up myself at 2:10am by them. Which I’m sure you’ll understand is very frustrating for me to having received only £17 to host such people. This is a wild camping field as well described . The portaloo is cleaned every day by me and serviced professionally every Tuesday . Sorry about the awful behaviour of others .

Liked We loved everything! We stayed for two nights, it was gorgeous and we had a brilliant time with perfect weather. We'll definitely be back next year!
(I'm a single mother with three children aged 1, 11 and 12. I felt very safe.)
