What customers say
This family-friendly campsite has a relaxed vibe with rescue animals, a play area, and woodland walks. Guests love the friendly owners, clean facilities, and handy shop/cafe. Despite sandy pitches and occasional animal sounds, it's a great experience, with many planning to return.

Lovely friendly site with great residents.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The rescue animals! The lovely forest and pitches under the trees. Very friendly site. Very surprised by Gizmo coming to me for scritches!
Disliked We pitched slightly too close to the piggy...got a few wafts of piggy smells 🤣
There isn't any free WiFi, but that wasn't something we needed. Too much else to entertain us.
Also the visiting pizza guy wasn't at all friendly, but that's not the owner's attitude at all, they were lovely. Maybe give the pizza man a pint or something....

A fantastic stay.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The site is rustic and beautiful and the owners are super friendly you can tell they're passionate about the place. The animals are mostly friendly too and for £1 (for a cup of feed) you can have them literally eating out of the palm of your hand. We pitched between the field with the donkeys and the pen with the Highland cow and goat. The field is mostly flat and free of debris and the geese swing by at night to make sure the grass is upkept. The toilets/showers were clean. The showers are really impressive, better than the one I have at home. We didn't use any of the facilities because we're antisocial but there was bar with food, also washing machine, a dryer, microwave, fridge, can get your stuff charged etc, it was well kitted out. The play park was cool too, I had a go on the swing even though I'm 40, loved it.

Very clean facilities!
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Couldn’t get over how fantastic our stay was at the sunflower park! It was so easy to find everything was sign posted. The kids loved been outside with all the animals around them. Lots of space for the kids to run and play around, not to add the amazing play area they had on the site for the children to play. When we stayed they had a pizza van come and make fresh pizza. Honestly we loved our stay and can’t wait to come back for more outside fun! Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Powered grass campsite
Liked The site owners are a lovely couple who don't have 101 rules! Simple pitch up and relax. Lovely people to talk to, who will happily stand and have a chat with you!
Facilities are just what you need...showers (basic but working and hot water) toilets, washing up area, little gift shop that sells icecream and cold drinks, cafe if you don't want to make breakfast (highly recommend the sausage sandwich), its own little bar that has dart board and tv if you don't want to miss the match, play area for the kids (the trampolines were a great hit).
Saturday night the pizza van visited and I highly recommend the sunflower pizza (delish!)
We went on a lovely walk in the woods, visited the animals, fell in love with Erica!
The geese are amazing..and made my weekend!
Sunday night we were the only campers and it was so peaceful just listening to the geese talk to one another.
Wifi signal is hit and miss...this isn't a negative for me, as it just meant I could sit back and relax with no interruptions (there are parts of the park where signal is great if you have to have internet). We hired a fire pit for the weekend, had enough logs for 2 nights, and additional logs are cheap enough!
Disliked The sand isn't the best but it didn't stop us having an amazing weekend...just being some crocs that you can wash in the clean up area.

Great stay for camping - loved that it was a rescue animal farm
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Site was beautiful - natural surroundings, loved the animals, there was a bar on site and options for food.
Really relaxed vibes, fire pits allowed & we could camp near our friends.
Disliked Other campers didn't keep their dogs on leads, and allowed them to bark at some of the animals - not really acceptable pet owner behaviour, and could lead to dogs being disallowed?!

Everything you need is on sites on a well run site.
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Facilities were all there, toilets, showers and washing up, all ready reasonably clean considering its a bust site at sites.
The animals add a bit of charm to the sites and watching them can provide hours of entertainment.
Disliked The place is popular at the weekend! Good for the sites but we had enjoyed having the place to our selves through the week.
