Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Super quiet location with just the birdsong in the air. Appreciated the low-key setting.
From the manager: It was nice to have a talk with you many thanks Jim
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The guy was super friendly, making sure everything was ok.
The showers are hot, powerful and clean
The site was clean, tidy and flat.
The flexible leaving time was great, it allowed us to extend the stay another half day. Yes we could have packed up then looked around, but we could look around, packup, have a shower and be nice and fresh for the trip home (over 4 hours each way)
From the manager: Thank you for my top review you looked so happy the weekend many thanks Jim

Quiet camping site with lovely views & outstanding sanitary facilities
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked This was by far my favourite camping site in England as a solo traveller with a tent and a motorbike. The hedge on two sides offered good wind protection and the view of the neighbouring farms on the open side was a lovely extra. This camping site had the best sanitary facilities so far, with plenty of space and more than just utilitarian optics. The showers were private and spacious. I didn't feel invaded in my privacy like at some other camping sites, which also cost much more than Chalk Meadow.
Most important of all, I had great communication with the owner Jim, who made sure to confirm the booking per text, and was outstandingly helpful and friendly. I would love to stay here again some time in the future.
From the manager: So pleased you had a safe trip maybe see you in the near future all the best Jim
