Liked As a seasoned camper, I’ve stayed at countless sites over the years but Intake Farm is something else entirely. What David and Maria have created here goes far beyond simply opening their land to campers. It’s not just a campsite, it’s a sanctuary, part farm, part healing ground, and wholly unique. From the moment you arrive, the warmth and creative nature of the hosts spills over in every detail. There’s an energy about the place that is hard to put into words, calming, restorative, and deeply uplifting. The farm tours, offered freely, are both fascinating and heartwarming. Meeting the animals was one of the highlights of my trip, they brought joy and a real sense of connection to nature. What touched me most though was seeing the charitable spirit behind Intake Farm. David and Maria’s stories of how the site and its animals have helped children with neurodivergece or mental health afflictions really impacted on me, it adds another layer of meaning to being there. You’re not just camping, you’re contributing to something that makes a genuine difference. I left Intake Farm feeling ten times better than when I arrived, lighter, happier, and refreshed in a way no ordinary campsite has ever managed. And as if that wasn’t enough, a short walk through enchanting woodland takes you to The Black Lion at Consall, a wonderfully situated pub on an old steam railway line beside the canal. It was the perfect cherry on top of an unforgettable stay. If you’re looking for more than just a place to pitch a tent, if you want an experience that nourishes your soul as well as giving you a beautiful spot to relax, Intake Farm is beyond compare. I cannot recommend it highly enough. 11/10. Not to be passed up on.
