What customers say
Cuckoo Farm is a well-kept, family-run site loved for its friendly staff, gorgeous country setting, and spotless facilities, especially the showers. Guests appreciated the quiet vibe, roomy pitches, farm shop, and stream access. Despite some noting a nearby train line and occasional uneven pitches, reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return. Highly recommended for its cleanliness, atmosphere, and family appeal.

Lovely site. Great to see lots…
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely site. Great to see lots of kids running around playing a huge game of tig and tag across the site rather than being glued to their phones 😆

Amazing family friendly campsite
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked What a beautiful little site, peaceful, well kept and friendly. A small but well stocked little shop (the sausages are first class). Toilet and pot wash facililties were clean and tidy.
Free range kids perfect for relaxed weekends watching the kids explore. The site is big enough that the kids feel like they can adventure and be free but small enough that you can't lose them.
Roland and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, we arrived a day late and 2 hours before check but it wasn't a problem at all.
WE WILL BE VISITING AGAIN
Disliked Water in the showers and pot wash not overly warm but certainly not cold, if I were to knock points off it would still be 9.9/10

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We had a lovely time at Cuckoo Farm. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be returning with our children. The facilities were clean. We arrived on a beautiful sunny day so there were quite a lot of campers but it didn't affect the facilities as it is quite a small campsite in comparison to others we've been to. We cancelled our pre-booked dinner plans and hired a firepit and bought food and charcoal from the shop which was well stocked with essentials for a small campsite.
Disliked We learnt from our trip that we need levelling chocs for our van as the campsite is on an incline down to the river. Non electric pitches are not allocated so if in a van you leave for a period of time you may not have your same pitch when you return unless you have a drive away awning or are happy to leave some of your belongings on site.

Fantastic site
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Plenty of space, well kept grass, clean bathroom facilities, excellent firepits available to hire with a grill, was fun to cook over the fire. Very close to rutland water for aquatic activities. They had wifi too which was great since phone signal in that area is very bad.
Disliked Lots of potholes on the road leading to the site, drive very carefully.
