What customers say
Generous campsite with lovely river access for watersports. Friendly staff, generally clean facilities, though a few suggest more frequent cleaning/upgrades. Peaceful even when busy, but some noise from neighbours. Hop Farm closures disappointing for those expecting attractions.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
So much space to choose from. No need to pitch up directly…
Primitive grass campsite
Liked So much space to choose from. No need to pitch up directly next to others. Great value for money. We were swarmed by flying ants on our stay, but that can't be helped. Overall very pleased with our stay, and will definitely recommend and return

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review.
The flying ants are definitely annoying I believe they are not around for long but decided to come out in their hordes whilst you were trying to enjoy your stay.
We hope to see you again soon.
100% will be booking again! Clean facilities, large pitches, privacy!
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The size of the fields are huge! Even though fairly busy, everyone was so spread out through each field you wouldn’t have known how busy it was at all. Very much a wild camp feel to it and brilliant facilities too!
Disliked Nothing to dislike in my opinion.
If you chose to pitch up in the furthest away fields, expect a bit of a walk to the toilets/showers/washing up area, other wise just drive.

Rude managers, dirty site
Primitive grass campsite
Liked We liked the river nearby as we brought Kayaks with us.
Disliked The staff and the site. Loud music playing till 3am and although there was an emergency contact no one came out and dealt with their problematic guests.
It was expensive for what it was.
Facilities were always dirty and out of toilet roll.
Nothing for children to do (as advertised on the website)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay of the weekend of the 25th and 26th July.
We do a site check at 10pm to make sure there is no music playing, the Saturday evening we only had to ask 1 pitch to turn their music off. We do come out again if called on the 24 hr mobile number printed on the front of every check-in card, unfortunately you sent an email to the office at 238am on the 27th July which I replied to just after 9am when we opened the office(the office is not open 24 hours per day).
The Hop Farm Website and Pitch-up do not advertise as having entertainment or play parks.
The toilets and showers have 3 daily cleans, however leading up to a clean they will be fairly dirty especially as there had been rain causing a fair amount of mud being walked into them.
Excellent stay, great pitches loads of space. Can't wait to come back
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Had the best weekend camping at hop farm. Beautiful place. My young daughter age 5 was in her element. We fished the lake and caught a couple little fish which she loved doing. Lovely walks along the river. Felt very comfortable pitched up. Lovely staff.
My partner's favourite part of the whole trip was the bootsale on Saturday and Sunday. Great we could have bbq and campfire. Toilets and showers very clean no complaints. Will definitely be returning in couple weeks. Great weekend away. Highly recommend.
Disliked No complaints
