  • 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 on site for fishing
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. Even beginners should get a nibble at the carp-crammed fishing lake here – but if fishing's not your thing, you can simply lie beside the lake or on one of the rustic benches with a book or your own thoughts… 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 adult-only, peaceful site has beautiful countryside views and a tranquil vibe. Guests love the spotless, clean facilities, especially the showers. The grounds are well-kept with spacious pitches and great dog-walking. Owner Pip is often praised for being friendly and helpful. Lake fishing is a hit. While remote with narrow access, most found it a relaxing, highly recommended escape.

Shepherd's hut

Liked A lovely site in the middle of farming country. Beautiful views and loads of walks in the area. The site is spacious and very well kept with a friendly welcome. Although you have to pay for the wifi it's minimal and the connection was good and given there is no mobile phone signal very useful to have. The little house on the lake was well equipped and the bed was very comfortable.

Don’t visit in summer months, and bear In mind the additional costs.

Cj P.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Nice setting, clean facilities.

Disliked If you wanted to fish in the small lake you do have to pay,
You can have a fire pit but you have to pay.
You can use the hairdryers provided but you have to pay.
Mobile network coverage is very poor, thankfully they have good onsite WiFi… but you to pay.
It’s a cattle farm and the adjacent fields have just been sprayed days prior to our arrival, combined with the dry July weather made it into a fly infested site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Well, what can I say... Chris, before you left I explained to you that we had an issue with the flies that had occurred in the past week as a result of the extremely unprecedented high temperatures (on Saturday reaching as high as 36 degrees) and lack of rain. As you will have seen when booking (it is stated on the website that we are a working farm) we are in the country and as such have other working farms around us, one of which had unfortunately sprayed a field opposite the campsite which had significantly escalated the issue with the flies (as explained to you when we spoke), this is out of our control and is not the norm for us, as can be seen from all of our previous reviews.

I work very hard to maintain a good campsite and environment for people to enjoy when they come to visit (which again can be seen from our reviews). With regards to your points regarding our facilities (WiFi, fishing, fire pits & hairdryers); we clearly state that charges may apply for additional services offered (this is not uncommon and we like to think that our charges are very reasonable), may I point out that the only service you appeared to use was the WiFi, at no point did you enquire about the fishing etc so I am unsure why you feel the need to comment on these.

A final point to note - you gave us a mark for 'child friendliness', we are an adult only site so child friendliness is irrelevant.

I am saddened by the use of your words and descriptions of our campsite, a campsite that is enjoyed by many.

Would highly recommend this site. Pitches level and plenty of room

Liked Fishing was great, great staff, very clean campsite

Disliked Not very even, too many rules

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for you review sorry you thought there were too many rules I assume possibly it was due to the fishing rules and that you were unable to fish but I am sorry there does have to be rules around this.

Angela M.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked Beautiful site with great views. Super fully enclosed dog exercise area - Jack loved being able to chase his ball and have a good run off lead. Security gates to the site give an air of feeling safe. Did not use the toilets/ shower facility but had a look round and very impressed with the facility and cleanliness. We would definately stay here again if in the area. Wi-Fi was available at a charge but very reasonable.

Disliked Nothing.

Deborah L.

FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked The site is spotlessly clean, with spacious pitches overlooking the lake. Pip, the owner and site manager is very friendly and helpful, and provided local information which enabled us to get a very reasonably priced taxi home from the local pub, to which we had walked (4km walk). A very relaxing stay, with superb facilities by way of the shower and toilet block, as well as a very reliable electric, water and waste supply. This site is within easy reach of Monmouth and Abergavenny, as well as Tintern Abbey, all worthy a visit, so you are spoilt for choice if you want to go out, or else you can spend your days relaxing in the sunshine looking over the lake.

Disliked It's sited on a working farm, so if you are expecting absolute tranquility, be aware that there will therefore be occasional farm traffic noise. Not a complaint or dislike, but worth informing others, to manage expectations!|This may not be an issue for those sited further away from the farm, as it's a big site, but it's a small price to pay if you want to be located near to the showers and loos.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and we look forward to seeing you again.

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.
