What customers say
This lovely, quiet, family farm campsite offers a relaxing break with generous pitches and great views. Kids love feeding the animals, the trampoline, slide, and woods. Facilities, including composting toilets and showers, are usually clean and tidy. It's well-placed for day trips. A few guests mentioned muddy entrances needing work, and a few more toilets would be good during peak times.

There’s animals to feed,a trampoline and slide to play on,a lovely bit of woods,fire pits and wood to hire and even food to feed the sheep, pigs and cows!
It was the perfect camping experience and our little boy LOVED it!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely tranquil site, the trampoline and tyre swing and open grassy area dor ball games went down well with the children. We recommend the site to anybody wanting a quiet getaway. Plenty of room to be far away from each other.
Disliked There were about 10 families there this weekend, I think a couple more composting toilets are needed ... 2 toilets isn't enough. Also more sawdust please.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Small family run campsite on a working farm. My son could feed the pigs and sheep and play on the slide and trampoline. We enjoyed exploring the woods and walking to Semley village which has a great pub, village stores and milkshake vending machine from Church Farm Dairy.
