What customers say
Spacious fields, great river access for water fun. Facilities clean, staff friendly. Some electric pitches are a bit cosy, and facilities can get busy. Great country walks nearby.

Very welcoming, clean,peaceful campsite
Unpowered grass site
Liked Very welcoming owner, we arrived late and had to call as soon as we arrived at the check in desk. Number to call is very clearly displayed on the front door so easy to find.
The owner was very quick at diving down to get us in. This was our first time at this campsite but she was very good and thorough at explaining everything for us.
The campsite was very spacious, and for a Saturday was very calm and peaceful. The toilets where very clean, and the campsite as a whole had a very nice welcoming atmosphere about it.
Would definitely recommend.
Disliked The only thing i disliked about this campsite was that the grass was quite long, it was a little uncomfortable to sit on and my dog kept losing her ball as it disappeared into the long grass.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay here and for leaving a review as even negative ones help us to improve your stay.
Some of the fields were not cut before your stay and the long grass does take away the enjoyment of being here.
We look forward to welcoming you again, hopefully you can arrive earlier to enjoy a whole day before a relaxing evening.
A large family friendly site with plenty of green space to explore.
Powered concrete and grass site
Liked Great location with plenty to do locally, the site is large with nice walks and has some peaceful areas, and riverside walks, there’s a pub with friendly staff close by. Site staff were very friendly & helpful, facilities were clean. Mixed usage of site, from construction staff using some pitches during the week and some pitches are longer term, it’s family & dog friendly. On the whole it’s a good site.

Hi Hop Farm Campsite Team, I just…
Unpowered grass site
Liked Hi Hop Farm Campsite Team,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for our stay from the 10th–12th of April. We came as a family and genuinely had a fantastic time, the whole experience was really enjoyable and well appreciated by all of us.
We also brought a fire pit with us, which made a great addition to the trip. It was perfect for cooking and keeping us warm in the evenings, and everyone really enjoyed gathering around it.
Thanks again for a lovely stay, we’ll definitely be back.

Good solid site.
Powered grass site
Liked Plenty of space. Solid clean facilities.
Disliked Pitches a little close together
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review as they do help people when deciding where to stay.
When all of the electric pitches are in use they are close together.
There is a lot more space if on one of our non-electric fields and on many days some fields are still empty. Some guests use solar panels or power packs so they do not need electric hook ups and bring toilet tents for night time use to be in the quiet fields further away.
We look forward to seeing you again.
Clean, welcoming and has everything you need for a little get away
Unpowered grass site
Liked Came for a one night car camp trip. Was able to park right next to shower and toilet facilities. Was quiet and the weather was on my side. On arrival reception was pleasant and welcoming. Explained where everything was. Walked around the fields and through a few of the river trails. I will definitely be back
Disliked Nothing

Excellent run site with clean facilities. Will definitely come back
Powered grass site
Liked The pitches were spacious, the staff were friendly, particularly the lovely lady who kept the facilities clean! There are beautiful views across the field, and the lake is a lovely place to visit.
Disliked Nothing to dislike, but a park would be well-suited for all of the children that attend the site.
