From the manager: thank you look forward to seeing you again soon

Liked Just the most peaceful and relaxing stay.
Great site, very clean. Our group had an amazing time staying here. A wonderful breakfast 😋 was enjoyed by our group at the nearby cafe adjoining the fantastic Tropical Bird Garden. The bird centre proved to be a fascinating experience and is well worth a visit 🤩). The camp site is a 10 minute walk across the fields to the village pub and local Co-op.

Dad's Cave Camping will definitely become one of our regular weekend stopovers - a real hidden gem in tranquil countryside 😊

From the manager: Hi Melanie Thank so much for your kind words it means the world. really enjoyed chatting to guys and your set up looks fantastic. look forward to welcoming you back soon

Liked Rolling countryside... huge pitches...shady footpath walk into Desford (takes about 10 mins) to a great dog friendly pub. Well stocked co-op next to the pub.
On site cafe at Tropical Bird World does a cracking breakfast! Great start to the day. Sounds like you are camping in the jungle when the birds start calling. Basic amenities but all clean and looked after. Friendly host. Bit of a hidden gem this one. Enjoyed it so much, we're going back next weekend!

Liked Peaceful location with good sized pitch’s they have ample space between them. There were lovely walks and a pub a short walk away.
There was good communication and easy check in. As you arrive and drive through the gate you are welcomed by alpacas and donkeys. If you fancy a visit tropical birdland is on the doorstep.
The owner has planted many trees and in time this place will be a gem.

Disliked Not so much a dislike but there was only one toilet for the camp site.

Liked We are actually very local to Dads Cave Camping, but we decided to book a stay so I could get a few jobs done on my van. It turned out to be the perfect little escape! My SEN son absolutely thrives when we go off-grid, and he loved the peaceful environment here. The biggest compliment I can give the site is that he has specifically asked to come back, telling me, 'this is the life!' The owner was also incredibly welcoming, making a point to come over, introduce himself, and have a friendly chat. A fantastic, back-to-basics spot we will definitely be returning!
