What customers say
Swallow Farm is a top-rated, small, family campsite with super friendly, helpful owners. Reviewers rave about clean facilities, roomy pitches, and animal interaction for kids. Safe and enclosed, it’s great for kids to roam, creating a relaxed vibe. While some noted limited facilities (one shower, two toilets), most found them fine and well-kept. Good spot for local attractions too.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Welcoming, very family friendly, would definitely go back.
Powered grass campsite
Liked We loved this site, pitch was large and good space between other guests plus space for the kids to run around. Location was fab (peaceful and green with beautiful sunsets and moonrises) Colin and Tracey were so friendly, just had a really warm, welcoming feel to the whole site. Our little girl had the best time meeting and feeding the animals, throwing the ball for Pip and playing with the other children and the toys that were there. We didn’t want to leave and would definitely go back. Wasn’t far to Chester Zoo and Chester and a lovely playground in Tattenhall nearby. People commenting on toilets/shower but wasn’t a bother for us and facilities were all super clean. Thanks for having us, we loved it.

Liked I absolutely loved this site, the owners were so friendly and helpful right from the start!
It is a small site with a community atmosphere.
There were toys for the little ones to play with, an area for ball games and the children were invited to see the animals and groom the Shetland Pony with the owner.
Disliked A small dislike was that there was only 1 shower and 2 toilets, with one toilet in the shower room so if someone is showering there's only 1 available.

Liked Absolutely loved our stay at Swallow Farm. Tracy and Colin who run it are the nicest people you will ever meet, they make you feel so welcome and they check in with you to make sure you have everything you need. Honestly the most loveliest couple.
The campsite itself is small but with only 6 pitches it's perfect as there is loads of space in-between tents and lots of space in the centre of the pitches for the kids (and adults) to run around and have some fun. There is a small paddock at the back for more activities or to let your dog have a run around.
There is animals on the farm in which you are encouraged to interact with which is another great touch and of course the border collie Pip who's such a well behaved dog.
The facilities are nice and clean, only 1 shower and 2 toilets but never found this to be a problem as everyone rises at different times.
The most perfect campsite to go to if you just want a relaxing weekend away, with nice views and the best hosts. Would highly recommend.

Liked Everything!
We absolutely loved our stay here, definitely the best place we have ever camped. The kids had a great time meeting all the animals (especially Pip the dog) and playing with all the other kids. There were outdoor toys for the kids and they even got out a little paddling pool. The facilities were very clean and Tracy & Colin were the best hosts.
Hoping to return soon!
