Abi S.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked We had an amazing time at South Ford Farm! It is a perfect site for families with young kids but our teenagers also had a great time 😄. The local honey farm was a big hit. And we were able to hire a camp fire. Lovely family run site. Teenagers were happy with the Wi-Fi and charging points. Showers and toilets were clean and the site felt safe enough for the little ones to run around by themselves. And small enough so they couldn’t get lost! We are planning to return next year!

Disliked The only downside is that the site is on a fast country lane, which makes it difficult to get up to the shops without a car.

Emma R.

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked South Ford Farm Camping was an unexpected highlight of our trip, so glad we stopped by! Chris was lovely, sweet with our little boy & super helpful.

The facilities there are top notch, everything you could think of. Fridge & freezer space is great in the little information cabin.

Our little boy loved the play equipment, badminton & little river beach. Having touches like the toilets having both big & small seats was appreciated & made our stay even easier.

We’ll be back :)

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Little play area for the kids. Little stream and sand pit. Football nets. Sheep and chickens, fresh eggs available for small fee. Toilets clean and washing up area good.
Good size pitches and felt very private. You can park by pitch to unload.

Disliked If you stay in the corner by the steam. When someone flushes the toilet you get an eggy unpleasant smell.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Such a wonderful little camp site. The grounds are well kept with nature and wildlife in mind. The children loved choosing the camping pitch, and it was really helpful to be able to drive down to drop off the camping equipment before parking the car away from the tent. There are also pitches you can keep your car next to the tent in the other field. The children loved being able to feed the sheep and play badminton and football with the other children at the camp site in the designated play areas. The toilets were clean and well kept and the washing up area had hot water. The fridge/freezer was also a bonus to refreeze cooler blocks. Chris and his family were around for any questions and they gave us some great recommendations for days out and places to eat. We had a great 4 days and have already recommended the site to our friends. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The campsite was fantastic, great clean facilities with kids play activities on site too. We enjoyed having a fire-pit allowing the kids to toast marshmallows in the evenings!

The kids got to feed the sheep which was an extra treat!

Primitive grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked Had a great couple of nights here. Facilities were clean throughout, kids had plenty to keep them occupied all enjoying the park, games area and river beach. Our daughter had a great time and loved bottle feeding the lambs. The fridge freezer, charging facility and WiFi were all an excellent touch. Would definitely recommend and we will visit again soon.

Disliked Nothing.
