Lake Farm

Liked No light pollution, so good night sky viewing. Clean toilets and showers.
Easy going atmosphere. Friendly campers.
A selection of areas available to camp.
Nice host who came around about 6.30-7pm. Price fits my affordability.
Night owls and wildlife.

Disliked Toilets although clean, were a bit cramped in size and some had no working lights. Bring a torch.
No coffee van as advertised.
Unfortunately I came on a night where a rave or music festival was happening in a distant field so had to endure pumping bass sounds for a lot of the night trying to sleep. I had to stuff my ears with tissue and wear my headphones to sleep. Not great but not the hosts fault.
Not a massive amount of space available but ample for everyone there.
Lots of red ants in one of the field areas, but plenty without in another so I found a spot.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I can only apologise for the disturbance caused by the music. This was an unauthorised event, and a number of local residents, including myself, went out to locate it and report it. Unfortunately, it took some time for the authorities to shut it down, and we are very sorry for the disruption this caused during your stay.

I was also unaware that we were advertising a coffee van, as we do not currently have one on site. I will look into where this information is being displayed and arrange for it to be removed from the relevant systems.

I also noted your comments regarding the size of the allocated camping area. We agree that some pitches can feel a little tight, and we are planning to cut back more of the grass to create additional space and allow guests more room to comfortably pitch their tents.

Thank you again for your feedback. It is genuinely helpful in highlighting areas where we can improve

Liked Basically just a field, pull up and find a space and that’s you. There was a mobile festival type shower block and toilet block. Toilet I used was clean but there was no working light so had to leave the door ajar, can’t comment on the showers. Can’t complain for £20 and perfectly ok for a stopover for a night.

Liked The quiet!
Nice quiet, easy, cheap little campsite. No fancies, but exactly what we needed to get away from life for a little while.
We will definitely be returning.

Disliked Nothing.
Although, perhaps the dust and horse poo but that’s definitely our fault for pitching up in the wrong place haha
Still enjoyed it nonetheless!

Liked Loved it and will certainly be going back. If you are looking for somewhere to chill out, take a walk, it’s great. The toilets altho very small are spotless and so are the showers. The old town is only a couple miles away and go a bit further and you are in the new forest.

Liked Nothing

Disliked Advent described as camping by a lake, not true, only time you see lake is when you drive past it. Horrible field, disgusting toilets and filthy showers.
Even £20 per night is to much, don't stay here.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with your stay.

We would, however, like to clarify that none of our photographs or descriptions claim that the campsite offers lake views. We are a field-camping site, and the photographs of our camping areas accurately reflect the setting and facilities provided.

We are also sorry that you were unhappy with our facilities. While we appreciate that they can feel somewhat cramped at busy times, they are cleaned daily and we take cleanliness very seriously. This is also reflected in the many reviews from guests who stayed around the same time as you, who gave us particularly high marks for the cleanliness of our facilities.

We appreciate all feedback and are always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience.

Liked A good grass pitch.
3 lakes to walk around
Very helpful staff
Assisted with phone charging although it’s not part of the service.
Basic budget site, no thrills, but just what we wanted.

Disliked None.
