What customers say
Bonners Lodge is a peaceful, intimate spot with friendly hosts & spotless facilities. Campers loved the spacious, tidy pitches, the fun games room & farm animal encounters. Enclosed pitches are great for pets & kids. A few mentioned limited washrooms, but most found them clean & never had to queue. Enjoy the scenic rural setting.

Liked Absolutely amazing campsite, best one we have been to. Shower/toilet block is immaculate, campsite goes above and beyond to make your stay smooth. Little room with additional cooking facilities and games/toys for kids was an amazing addition. Donkey rides in the morning for the kids, overall loved our stay and can't wait to go back!

Barkers Bay FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We stayed at the barkers bay pitch - great for our dog. Lovely setting - hares and a red kite were around. Goats, sheep, alpacas and a pony were friendly neighbours and the facilities (including a games room) were excellent. We would stay again definitely.

Fantastic site, fantastic people! Will be back!
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Beautiful little site, Michelle, Ken and friends are so so welcoming and have gone above and beyond to ensure your stay is a great one!
If you've got little ones who love animals, this site is for you!
The owners bring the animals to the caravan field every morning to allow families time with the animals, you can walk them around the park and maybe even get a donkey ride!
They have a room with a pool table and some seating areas that is always lovely and warm, its great to have somewhere to relax and meet the other folk on the site.
Kids are really well catered for with an indoor games room, toys outside, you name it, they've probably got it!
We will definitely come back to Bonners Lodge!
Shower was nice and big in a heated room (dont often see that) and wasn't a press button shower! Facilities always clean!
I cannot praise Michelle and Ken enough for what they do with the site, very hands on, very friendly, great people!
----------
One side note for visitors coming from Bishop... dont let you sat nav take you down West Lane on route to the site, its unnervingly tight and an unnecessary detour!

Excellent site for younger children, level pitches and friendly staff
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything! Greeted by very friendly staff who recommended the best pitch although gave us the choice then gave us a guided tour of all facilities and introduced us to all the animals. Very good for children with steps and pottie seat in ladies as well as a well equipped games room. Beautiful views will definitely stay again.

Welcoming hosts and beautiful views we will be back
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Wonderful hosts they made us feel extremely welcomed, saddling up the donkey so my two babies could have a ride (aged 2 and 3) as well as allowing us in the enclosures to pet the sheep, Pygmy goats, Shetland pony and doggies Dixie and Jack. My 3 year old particularly loved walking pixie the pygmy goat and has not stopped talking about it since! The facilities were perfect in particular the play room and the park which again our babies loved. We felt very at home and will definitely be back to stay on this extremely picturesque place. Thanks for having us. ☺️

Liked Everything!
What’s not to like?
It’s peaceful, the pitches are a decent size, the views are stunning, being around the animals is something I don’t think you’d get anywhere else, there’s a heated shower room (which is immaculate), games room and Michelle is a fantastic host.
We didn’t want to leave!
Disliked Couldn’t find fault with anything!
