Liked: Everything! The wildness and freedom of the farm and local area makes Galton Farm special. The animals, birds, and beautiful area all contribute. The facilities are all above average for a camp like this.

Liked: Perfect for a cheeky last minute booking. Owner was lovely and approachable.
Disliked: Showers no thermostat and temp pretty hot and the spray of the head not too easy to wash hair. Let’s face it I was glad to have a shower none the less.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Space - loads and loads of space Quiet area, quiet campsite, no loud music after 10pm Showers had lovely hot water Able to have the car next to the pitch. Host friendly and helpful.
Disliked: Showers - not great drainage which meant floor flooded making getting dressed very very tricky - didn’t even attempt to shower the children 😂 Toilets - basic but no option of separate male/female toilets. Not usually an issue but toilet block quite quiet and can be isolated. With two almost teenage girls and the site having a few groups of young men didn’t feel comfortable allowing girls the freedom to go to the toilet by themselves. Grass - again basic and not a massive issue - slightly too long 😂 when it’s wet (every day!) made it difficult to cross the campsite with our carrying 1/2 the field back with you.
