What customers say
Deaks Acres is a top-rated, quiet campground with a cozy vibe. Guests love the friendly owners, clean amenities, and farm animal interactions for kids. Pitches have picnic tables and fire pits. Some noted distant road noise and Google Maps issues, but signs are present. It's a hidden gem, with many planning return trips.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Karen was so lovely as was her little dog. It’s very peaceful there but Karen has also added lots of little bits to do, should you need entertainment. There’s a good kitcheny area to do washing up and some cooking as well as a very well maintained loo/ shower area.

Brilliant site for kids! Karen is fantastic!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Really like the peaceful and small location of the site.
Karen was amazing and my two children 13 & 10 had the most amazing time seeing and being able to stroke all the animals and Even help feed them.
The kitchen and shower block were really clean and worked perfectly.
The addition of a picnic bench and fire pit on the pitches is also a lovely touch.
We will definitely be back!!!!!

Excellent small /quiet campsite suitable for all with friendly owners
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Had a fantastic two night stay at Deaks Acres. Beautiful quiet location and well set up with each having your own pitch with private bench/fire pit and so having plenty room between tents. Maximum 10 pitches and newly installed toilets/showers. Nice to have the farm onsite with two pigs, goats, horses, geese, chicken, sheep and rabbits! Excellent hosts/owners being very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend staying here and some lovely walks nearby.

Lovely little family friendly site with animals and clean facilities
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely little campsite, only 10 pitches I think. Immaculate toilets and showers. Peaceful and relaxing with friendly pigs, goats, sheep, Shetland pony, horses and chickens all on site to say hello to! Great kids play area for families. Every pitch has a fire pit and sturdy wooden picnic bench, meaning one less thing to pack. Logs and fresh eggs available to purchase on site. Dog friendly and a lovely walk by a stream nearby.

Core memory campsite ❤️
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Everything! We loved how kind and friendly the owners were, we loved being able to meet and stroke the animals, we thought the toilet and shower block was clean and fresh, we thought the pitches were a good size, we loved the picnic bench and fire pit - just everything!
We had read the amazing reviews before we came and can 100% say they are spot on. We will definitely be back. Just loved it!
Disliked Literally nothing. It’s such a great campsite.

Lovely site with lots of animals and things to keep you entertained.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Lovely small holding with large pitch, fire pit and picnic table. If you want to cook on the fire pit you will need to bring a cooking rack. You can buy a large bag of logs for £10. Karen is really friendly and helpful and the toilets and showers were spotlessly clean. There is a washing up area with cooker and kettle.
There is lots to do on site, badminton, swingball, football, large connect 4, swing, toddler play area.
There are lots of animals that you can pet and they are all really friendly, pigs, goats, sheep, Shetland pony, horses, rabbit, guinea pig, chickens, geese.
There's a lovely walk though the vineyard and the woods that takes about 45 mins and is fairly easy walking.
Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back.
Disliked Showers were very hot but Karen did turn the temperature down a bit when I mentioned it.
Noise from motorbikes on the main road at night even though the main road is quite a distance away.
