What customers say
This small, peaceful site is praised for its beautiful rural location, excellent and immaculately clean facilities including a games room, and its array of friendly farm animals. Owners are consistently described as welcoming and helpful. Enclosed pitches are a particular highlight for dog and child safety. Some guests noted limited toilet and shower facilities but found they were generally sufficient. A few mention the exposed, windy location.

Liked Fabulous campsite!
That good we have booked for next weekend too!
The man who met us on arrival was so helpful and friendly. We also met 2 ladies who help out and they sat chatting and were lovely.
The games room was perfect, equipped with a full kitchen, tv, pool table, football table, table tennis and everything you could possibly imagine for kids! (We didn’t have our kids with us this time and still enjoyed the lot 🤣)
The showers and toilets are immaculate and had little touches like bottles of perfume, hand creams etc.
We arrived late on the Saturday night so didn’t get to see any of the animals etc but can’t wait to come back again in the summer with the kids.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Excellent site with so many unique and enjoyable features
Barkers Bay FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This is an absolutely fantastic site🤩.
We have already booked to come back again as we were entranced by ;the site itself, the friendliness and helpfulness of the people running the site, the beautiful countryside and of course the amazing personalities of the resident animals.
The pitches are spacious and not overlooked. The views and the countryside around are stunning and so peaceful. It is a wild life haven with deer ,red kites, curlews, hares, rabbits, thrushes to name but a few of the delights constantly around.
The facilities are spotless and thoughtfully maintained to the highest standards. We loved our enclosed pitch which was both unique and superb for our dogs but would happily have stayed on any of the pitches on this site. The picnic benches and outside furniture are a lovely touch as is the beautiful games room with all of the extra facilities in this lovely warm communal room.The showers and toilet area were always toasty warm.
We loved waking up and opening our blinds to peaceful countryside views but with that unique addition of wondering what were the alpacca boys doing this morning just at the other side of our communal fence , along with our neighbours the Pygmy goats and very original sheep, truly there was never a dull moment.
If you have not visited this campsite and you love your motorhome or caravan then you are seriously missing out on an amazing experience 🤩

Small, quiet and friendly site with unexpected facilities.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Small, quiet and friendly site. The indoor facilities (with pool and table tennis tables) were unexpected but excellent. We also didn’t expect to be offered a chance to meet the resident sheep, goats, donkey, pony and horse which made for a memorable welcome. We had only booked for an overnight stay on a longer journey and were sorry to leave.
Disliked There is nothing to dislike about this site.

Excellent site with clean facilities and lots to do for little ones.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Amazing facilities including a chill out area with plenty toys/pool table/ping pong table and a very welcoming experience from the owners. My daughter was shown all the animals, had a donkey ride and had the best time. We absolutely loved this site and our first trip away in our campervan, would recommend to anyone. We will most certainly be returning in summer time.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked We absolutly loved it here. Pitches are very well looked after and you get your own little picnic bench. Paul the animal handler was amazing. Kids loved Ray the Donkey! Cannot wait to come back again in a few weeks time. Beautiful area with a stunning view.

I popped it above! Great place to visit and we would highly recommend!
Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Everything - easy to get to (despite the heavy snowfall the day before), it was off a main road but not close enough to hear the noise from the road, which we love! The site was well maintained, increadibly peaceful, lovely hosts - who kindly let our boys ride the donkey! The site is small so perfect for those who just want peace and quiet. Beautiful views! The games room and kitchen was a massive hit with the children!! Lovely shower and clean bathrooms!
