Liked: We are return campers to Church Farm, absolutely wonderful place to stay. The owners are very friendly and facilities are lovely and clean. We tried the local pub for food this time which was delicious. We had the field to ourselves for the first night which was bliss. Can't wait to go back.
Disliked: There's nothing to dislike.

Liked: So much space! Large field with flat grass and plenty of space to choose where to stop. 2 toilet cubicles, really clean. Nice to watch the cows from.
Disliked: There had been a lot of rain and the ground was quite wet and soft. Campervan was a bit difficult to move around as it could have got stuck on the soft ground.

Liked: For our first camping adventure this was a great choice, quiet location yet close enough to pop and collect any items we'd forgotten, like the stove gas !! Sunny weather helped the whole camping experience, the site has 2 toilets with hot and cold water, also a drinking water stand pipe. Couldn't ask for more, friendly owners visited incase we needed anything, highly recommend this place.

From the manager: Thank you for your great review and hope to see you again. Just to say, we only have cold water on site.

Liked: Amazing campsite!! So peaceful, we felt extremely safe and content. Gliding club not too far away so amazing to watch. Clean facilities, toilets had a light and large mirror which was great! Very clean! Would definitely return. We were slightly lost, our own fault on taking the wrong turn and missing the sign but Carol found us and helped us locate the campsite! Grass not too long & soft ground great for pegs!
Disliked: The only one thing to suggest would be fairy lights or a few little lights on a timer for late at night. Due to being surrounded by hills it was very very dark and it would’ve felt a little cosy to have a few lights. There was only 2 others on site so if this was busier it would’ve been lighter so maybe just use lights when less campers are on site.

Liked: Nice little site. Virtually no traffic passing so very peaceful. 2 clean portaloo type toilets. Local pub - good for food 20 minutes stroll away. Walks from site up to the White horse and onto the Cleveland way - trails in the woods aren't signposted so easy to get lost in the woods.
Disliked: Feel it's a bit overpriced at £25 a night as no shower or washing up sink ( which we did know before booking) but nevertheless would stay again for the location.

Liked: This is a lovely campsite! It is simple - a field with two immaculate loos, a standpipe for drinking water and a rubbish bin - and it is charming. It nestles in the valley and feels enclosed, calm, safe, quiet and friendly. The owners were also very nice. The location was great for breaking our journey from Tyneside down to the south. And the horse is amazing!
