Sunflower Park

Liked If you are a animal lover, i think this is the place for you.
Located next to a forest (which is really cool, my children found a den and spent hours playing inside) lots of animals which I believe are rescued, my favourite was the beautiful red chested bird that came down for a stroke, great big park for the children, pub/bar and a little shop.
Its a animal busy campsite, i know some reviews complained about the smell, the pigs do smell but they are pigs they are going to smell. But they looked very happy rolling around in mud eating their grub.
The owners seemed very friendly and easy going, they was happy for us to swop pitches last minute. I must add i saw a review saying they never saw them cleaning but we never saw them stood still. They was always busy potting around doing jobs.
The pictures of the pitch on pitch up i think are abit outdated as they show a grass pitch but there wasnt alot of grass left, it was mostly sand which wasnt a problem it just gets everywhere. I was concerned as it was mention to make sure your children were clean to not mucky the showers but no matter how hard you tried with the environment it was hard to stop them getting mucky. But mucky kids are happy kids right? The sign obviously works because we made the kids wash their feet with the hose before a shower.
The facilities were ok but could maybe do with a little tlc. We are a family that camps all the time and we have seen alot worst. The toilet pans were white, always soap (soap bottle literally everywhere you'd never run out, which is great if youve been petting the animals as well). The water runs hot and its a continuous water running instead of those silly push buttons, this is a luxury on its own. Toilet roll always full. They had heating inside even in the night which was lovely. If I was going to say where you could improve on the toilet blocks it would be to have something to dry your hands with, we couldnt get the light to work in one of them and somewhere to hang your towel/clothes (the ones we found had rust of them from the moisture).
There was a singer on, pizza van and some really cool little activity books in a community room that get yours kids involved with nature!
The kids loved the park, it was massive! They share it with the gease a few times but they didnt mind that.
You can hire fire pits and buy logs, which is great because a lot of places dont let you have fires now.
I think its a lovely little stay, I think it does need a little more time spent on certain areas but it really doesnt effect the stay and shouldn't put you off coming. I only mention this as there is some negative reviews that made us think about this place first but we had a really nice time so thank you.

Liked We’ve just returned from our two-day stay at Sunflower Park, which was recommended to us by a friend – and I’m absolutely thrilled with this place! It’s my favorite campsite so far. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful, and it’s clear they put their whole heart into running this park. You can truly feel the soul of the place.
Everything is well-organized and you’ll find all you need to have a great time. I was there with my family, including three children aged 9, 12, and 13, and everyone found something to enjoy. There’s a great playground with trampolines, a fishing pond, and friendly animals. The freely roaming geese add a lot of charm to the atmosphere.
There’s also a bar, food available to buy, and a small shop on-site. The live music in the evenings adds a wonderful touch to the overall vibe. We’re already looking forward to coming back! Brzmi nasturaknie?

Liked Only planned to stay one night but stayed 3 instead as we had to go home! ☹️ what a delight to find this little treasure. Its a rescue centre first and foremost and then camping site second. It has everything you would need and more with a lovely warm welcome from Ian and Josie and the team. Its like a little community which is a beautiful atmosphere. They have all the facilities showers, toilets, waste, fresh water, little shop without the camp site £££, bar, cafe/breakfast bar, play park, dog run to let dog off lead. You have the choice of electric or non electric pitches. Lots of animals to see from donkeys, pigs, ferrets, rabbits, peacocks to my favourite Highland cow. Lots more to mention, all rescued and have a story but are loved beyond now. Amazing for my family who consists of grumpy husband, chronic pain wife, ASD 11 year old daughter and 3 fur babies xx

Disliked We disliked absolutely nothing. Part from packing up to leave!!

Liked Having just returned home from our 5th stay at Sunflower Park, I need to express how much my family love this place!
Never have I been to a site so child friendly and safe, its wonderful to watch my children run free and embrace farm life without an ounce of technology in site. Josie, Ian and the team are super friendly and approachable and present all day, everyday working hard on the site. Special thankyou to Alicia who let my son help her with tending to the animal everyday and never got tired of answering his 500 question about every animal on site !
Cafe served delicious food at reasonable prices. Play park has recently been upgraded and kept the children entertained for hours. Fishing lake was a big hit with the teenage boys who enjoyed spending there days finishing. Overall we absolutely love this place and booked our next trip before we left. Thanks for a great trip Sunflower Park and we will see you next summer!

Disliked GOING HOME!!

From the manager: Very kind. Thankyou. Glad you had such a nice stay.
See you next year. Merry xmas

Liked This site is amazing, lovely chilled friendly atmosphere, staff on hand when needed and nothing is any trouble for them despite them all being busy attending to the animals.

The animals where great to watch all with their own personalities kept us entertained all week. The play park is great for the kids, great priced shop on site too.

The toilets and showers were clean to the standard you expect on a campsite.

Would definitely recommend this site and we will definitely be returning.

Disliked The wasp issue could do with addressing obvious a couple of nests nearby. However we never got stung, they were just really annoying and couldn't really enjoy a quite cuppa outside without been bothered.

The fact there's no "quite time" one family were being really loud until 2am. Other sites we've stayed on have "quite time" from 11pm as not everyone wants to be kept awake all night.

From the manager: Hi. Thank you for your kind words. After speaking to a lot of our friends who live in the local area the wasp issue is all over unfortunately not just here but we know what you mean as they as doing our heads in aswell. We do have a quiet time of 10pm it is marked on a sign on the outside of the decking area as you enter in the bar / shop area. If you had called us we would have come and dealt the the noise so apologies 🌻
