  • Family-friendly farm camping in the Chiltern Hills National Landscape
  • LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort 40 minutes’ drive; Thorpe Park 45 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches; animals encounters available; barbecues allowed
Fancy taking a breather from daily life and heading to Buckinghamshire countryside? Make a beeline for the family-owned Penn Meadow Farm, set in 145 acres of the Chiltern Hills National Landscape, where you can pitch up on a dog-friendly, tree-sheltered camping meadow with spectacular views over fields and forested valleys. Happy to hang out at the farm? The kids will love the chance to meet the resident pigs, sheep (with their lambs in spring) and alpacas, as well as Bobby the border collie. There’s plenty to do in the local area, with lots of public footpaths going straight from the pitches, red kites to watch soaring overhead and several golf courses within 20 minutes’ drive. If you feel like a foray into London, Marble Arch is just an hour’s drive away, but when your offspring find out that LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort is just 40 minutes in the car, you’ll probably have no peace until you take them there. Back on site after your daytime expeditions, you’re welcome to have a small campfire in the evening, and the farm owners can supply wood for your fire. Alternatively, the camping meadow is five minutes’ stroll from Britain’s oldest free house, the half-timbered Royal Standard of England, where you can sample local ales and enjoy delicious roast dinners in its beamed interior.

    Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

    Liked: No restrictions on arrival & departure time, as I needed to depart early for an event.

    Disliked: No allocated pitch, or defined camping areas, it was just an open field, but some people like that. There were shower facilities, but they were within the three toilet cubicles, which often meant the toilets were frequently unavailable. There were insufficient toilet facilities for the number of people that were on site.

    Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

    Liked: Seeing the llamas

    Disliked: We arrived amidst a huge car event/ festival which was not advertised on booking. We began our drive up the horrendous drive way (we were in a van and was skidding all over due to awfully uneven ground). We located the busy fields and had no idea where to go or who to see, as nothing was sig on posted/ evident. We decided just to pitch in the edge of the hill near the llamas. On pulling our tent out, we were approached by a man asking if we spoke Polish. He then continued to say that it was going to be very loud and if we wanted to pitch in that location we shouldn’t complain about the noise. We decided to get back in our van and drive round looking for another location. We drove onto the large field to be greeted by grown men dragging each other in dinghies, tents full of beer kegs and all round shouting and screaming. I’d be well up for this if I had gone to a festival, but I hadn’t. I had booked a quiet weekend away with my family at a family friendly campsite (as advertised). After driving round to find a quiet location and having no idea who to approach to ask, we decided to head home. For us it was a wasted day, and a shame as we were looking forward to this trip.

    Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

    Liked: We loved the location for the pretty views and forest walk and also closeness to London. The facilities were very good with 2 toilets and showers, as well as a kitchen and fridge. We had a lovely time there.

    Disliked: Lamas roaming freely by the tent, and slightly intimidating our little dog, even though that was very entertaining, but I'm sure the neighbours didn't like the barking

    Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

    Liked: Views and location is great as Beaconsfield is close by which is lovely. The pub is a short footpath away and we will visit next time. Although fairly busy by 10pm was peaceful enough to sleep. You can pitch your tent wherever you like pretty much and park right next to your tent. We'd definitely stay again and enjoy a pub walk and meal with the pup!

    Disliked: We didn't get to see the facilities as main campsite was hired out for a private event but we were located in an alternative field which had water and a loo - what more do you need for 1 night? So no complaints here!
