  • Quiet camping in the Wye Valley three miles from the Welsh border
  • On a working farm 15 minutes' drive from the Wye Valley
  • Fire bowls and fuel for hire/sale; lake for fishing and wild swimming
Go on and treat yourself to a quiet time at Burhope Farm Campsite, a working farm site near Orcop in Herefordshire, where the scenery is stupendous and the by-night stargazing stellar. The highlight here is the on-site lake, for wild swims and fishing days (even beginners should get a nibble from the carp here) – but if neither activity takes your fancy, you can simply lie beside the lake or on one of the rustic benches with a book or your own thoughts. (Please note there's a per-rod fishing charge, and it's arranged around the wild swimming.) When venturing off site, the farm is close enough to Herefordshire's and Shropshire's old market towns and active outdoor options for day trips, but peaceful enough for countryside unwinding and rural strolls in every direction: the Forest of Dean and the Brecon Beacons National Park are both within driving distance and the Wye Valley National Landscape is just a 15-minute drive away. Pitches are in a wide open field with wide open countryside views and access to a drinking water tap every two pitches, plus chemical disposal nearby and grey water disposal. If you're the sort that hopes for first-class amenities on a site too, you're sorted: the centrally heated loo and shower block, disabled facilities and recycling facilities on site are all immaculately maintained. Burhope Farm Campsite welcomes well-behaved dogs.

What customers say

This adults-only, working farm campsite offers spacious, clean pitches with stunning countryside and lake views. Guests praised the spotless facilities, welcoming and hardworking owner, Pip, and the excellent dog field. While some noted limited cell signal and occasional farm noise, many found the site peaceful and relaxing, with good value Wi-Fi available. Access roads can be narrow.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great spacious, clean and tidy site and facilities and views, and fishing/swimming lake. Manager was welcoming and informative. Local area beautiful. In the absence of phone/data signal, good value wifi available.

Disliked More suited to caravans and camper vans than tents... lots of early morning farm animal noise meant dawn wake ups. Earplugs advisable. But there are worse ways to wake. And I knew it was a farm site. So not a complaint just advice.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review hope you come again, just to address the animal sounds we do obviously state we are a working farm and as such they will be animal sounds but in this instance there we new cattle to the farm and did make more noise than you would usually hear.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We really enjoyed this site. It has a very scenic view of the rolling hills with a very well maintained fishing lake (it is not a pond!) that is also used for wild swimming.
Facilities block was very clean tidy.
There is a massive dog area field out the back where you can let your
Dog have a run off the lead.
TV reception was good but our phone reception (o2) was not great, but the site offers a strong wifi connection at a very reasonable rates - there are different packages, but we paid £2 a day which was well worth it for the quality of wifi.

Thanks to Pip was a very friendly and welcoming host.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The campsite has a beautiful quiet countryside setting and we were lucky to get a pitch with a lovely view of the small lake, where we could relax and watch the birds. The site is beautifully maintained and there is a friendly welcome.

The toilets are very clean, the ladies showers are a little bit basic (I hear the men's are better!) but all ok.

Local attractions

History and fishing, canoeing and cycling, pottering around market towns and clambering over old old castles are all handy in Herefordshire, Shropshire and over the border in Powys and east Wales. The fishing in this area is a pull for anglers who come to try their luck at salmon, trout and coarse fishing on the River Wye. Pike of up to 30lb are landed from the Wye each year and it's said by those in the know to be one of the best rivers in Britain for bagging barbel. If you don't fancy fishing, paddle a canoe or kayak along the river on a self-guided or guided trip available from one of the many watersports operators in the area. More canoeing and fishing day trips – and mountain biking, hiking and horse riding – are at the nearby Forest of Dean. Both sides of the England/Wales border have more than their fair share of ancient castles to see – possibly because of all the ancient fighting between the two lands – and really it'd be wrong to come to these here parts without seeing at least one of them. On the English side, thirteenth-century Goodrich Castle, eleventh-century Wigmore Castle and fifteenth-century Hampton Court Castle and Garden (no, not the Henry VIII one) are the ones to view; on the Welsh, go south to super Chepstow Castle or west into the Brecon Beacons for castle ruins at Hay and Carreg Cennen.
