Bush Farm Wild Camping

Liked For my 1st solo camping experience i absolutely loved it. Beautiful place, lots of space, friendly staff to welcome you, lovely well behaved doggo’s also offering a welcome (if you like dogs), horses in the fields as you arrive, hidden camping spots and spots on the hills to watch the sun rise. Cold drinks, fire pits and wood all available. Wonderful experience!

Disliked The fact it’s not closer to my home but totally worth the 10mile bike commute!

Liked Loved how quiet it was. Plenty of space to be away from others and the shower/toilet block was clean with warm water. Owners were very friendly and were able to make my last minute change. Very cheap and was exactly what I was looking for.

Disliked Could not find a fault. Everything was very good for the price and exactly as described

Liked Lovely spot, very spacious. Relaxed, peaceful camp site, no frills. Best nights sleep too. Owner was super friendly and helpful, highly recommend if you want a simple camping experience. They offer use of fire pits and can purchase wood.

Liked Despite booking and paying in advance, once we saw the site we decided not to stay. It isn't the attractive wild vibe the pictures portray - it has all the downsides of true wild camping but none of the upsides.

Disliked Although it is advertised as "Wild Camping", so we expected something undeveloped, if you're going to have dozens of people on a site you do need some basic facilities. There were only two small toilet blocks on 200 acres, and I think that was the only drinking water too (we saw people carrying water long distances). Beyond that the place was less than basic - the tracks were rough and very rutted dirt cart tracks, opposite one camping field, by the side of the main track, was a house sized pile of partially burned farm rubbish and scrap metal, and at the far end the "track" took you to a hilltop worksite that looked like a building site. It was all just so tatty and unloved, not an attractive prospect at all.

Liked We loved how peaceful and natural the surroundings were. The walks through the fields and orchard were beautiful, and there was access to the river for a paddle and a swim.
We loved how they provided a fire pit.
We loved that it was dog friendly.
Toilets and showers were quirky but clean and tidy. Lovely warm running water.
The staff were very friendly, kind and helpful.
This site was everything and more than we expected from a wild camping site.

Liked Steve was very welcoming and friendly.
Site is very green, with large pitches.

Disliked Road noise

Liked Lovely place, lots nature with beautiful river.

Liked Loved the watering can showers!!
The stay was lovely- felt like we were in the middle of no where which is exactly what we were after. Kids loved playing on the tyre swings and in the river.

Liked The quiet secluded location right by the river was amazing! Everyone was really chill.
