What customers say
Loved for its chill vibes, cracking views & friendly host Bex. Guests enjoyed the eco-toilets, fire pits & getting back to nature. Steam train & wildlife sounds were a bonus. A bit tricky to find for some, and cars aren't pitched nearby – can be a bit of a trek. Great for families, couples & dogs wanting a peaceful escape.

Excellent place to stay, fresh bottled…
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Excellent place to stay, fresh bottled water supplied, lovely pitches and clean toilets. Simple yet very quiet site, everything needed for a place to stay. Our dogs absolutely loved it! Will be back!
Disliked Nothing! Only thing I’d ask is maybe a sign on the gate to say it was there as I struggled to find it first time as not very clear where it was. Other than that loved our stay!

Peaceful site, one step up from wild camping.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked The view, this place is in the middle of nowhere. Very peaceful. Owner is great, super helpful.
Disliked Its a basic site, so no luxuries expected. Not allowing cars next to your tent is just a bit inconvenient when you're doing your camping in a small tent, and a lot of living from your car.

A great wild campsite for getting away from it all near the beach.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Beautiful site and the manager Bex was so friendly and welcoming. Cool (non smelly) composting toilets, and firepits to borrow.

Phenomenal. I hate 5 star culture but even I happily give it here.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked This place is awesome! We had a wonderful time here and would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here.
Bex is a great host and honestly can't seem to do enough for you, whether it is recommendations of places to go or to eat, to making a morning bakery run for you, she is a brilliant host and lights up your stay.
My partner particularly loved how quiet it was with the soft 'hooing' of the owls in the distance and then the 'whistling' of the steam train in the morning. Not usually one for rough camping, Threshold farm completely opened her eyes to the beauty of it all.
10 out of 5 stars!
Disliked It is a touch hard to find and we drove past it 3 times, but this is such a small problem that it is really no big deal and Bex was more than happy to assist on the phone. I only put it here so that others know to keep a really close eye out for that blue sign on the gate.
