Liked: Location Location Location…a working farm, with the most amazing views, with walks directly off the site. Composting toilet was basic, clean and in my opinion better than a portaloo! The owner is friendly and helpful.

Liked: Incredibly beautiful setting, with views to hills all around. The field we were on was really big and we had a great amount of space. Phillip the owner was very helpful, and gave us a very interesting insight into the local area, as well as answering our questions on farming. It was so peaceful at night. We saw a fox at the far end of the field, and we heard an owl too. The night sky was exceptionally clear. The local town Kington has great and friendly pubs. In summary, one of the nicest campsites I've been to.

Liked: Was a beautifully rural setting, a real getaway from all the hustle and bustle of daily life. You really do feel that you are in the middle of no where, perfect for chilling out and enjoying the views. Our host Philip was very helpful and ready to meet and greet us. Philip knows heaps about the area, he could be a tour guide!! You don't need to worry about pitch sizes here or being too close to any neighbours, there are literally acres and acres of fields and space to pitch. Great location for some beautiful country walks We went to Kington for an evening meal at the Thai which was nice and reasonably priced. Lovely campsite. Definitely the most rural we have been too, offering heaps and heaps of space. Thank you 😊

Liked: We had a great time at Oatcroft! Being allowed to be that close to nature is not something you can easily experience. Philip, our host, was very friendly and helpful and had a vast knowledge of the surrounding area. We will definitely be visiting again.

Liked: Peaceful, tranquil and camping the way it should be. Philip was a great host and helped me with my tent too (first time solo camper)! He showed me where the amenities were and a lovely guy indeed. Atmosphere and surroundings were exactly what I wanted and needed. So much to explore, and will be coming back to explore more.
Disliked: Not got any to state.

Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: Glorious views, complete peace, beautiful walks nearby, lovely composting toilet. Philip the farmer was very helpful and friendly. Ideal for those who want to get away from it all.
Disliked: People should be aware that the water supply might be complicated so bring your own water, certainly for the starter. To get to the site, you need to drive up a grassy field and along a slighly rocky track so vehicles with low ground clearance might be less happy.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: I ask the customer for their requirement as regards the water and move it closer if required,it is not complicated. I take your point on the track,three parts of it are council road,we have tried to get them to do something, people can travel on the field if necessary but not always possible is it is wet or muddy. I thought a review was of your experience of the site,I do not understand how the dislikes affected you!
Excellent if you don't want extensive facilities

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Simple wild camping, we had the choice of where on the farm we could pitch the tent; in the lower field near the lake, or the top field. we chose the second option for the fabulous views over the surrounding area. Very friendly and helpful farmer, who brought the clean facilities near to where we camped.
