Gwatkin Red Cow Campsite

A aimé : Site was not busy so we had plenty of space, no que for toilets etc. Everything was very clean and well presented. Staff very friendly and helpful.

N'a pas aimé: A sign for campsite check-in would be helpful. A mop for the showers would be a great addition especially when the site is busier. A shelf next to the mirror in the bathroom would also be a great addition.

A aimé : A Hidden Gem Among the Apple Trees

We had such a peaceful and picturesque stay at Gwatkin Red Cow Campsite. Nestled in an orchard, we were the only ones camping in our T4 van, which made it feel like a true escape. Surrounded by apple trees and the gentle sounds of nature, it was the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway.

Admittedly, we arrived a little unprepared (our own fault for not checking ahead), only to find the restaurant was closed. But the owner couldn’t have been more accommodating—he kindly made us up some delicious ham and cheese baguettes, along with a couple of bottles of the local cider, which my husband absolutely loved. The ham, we believe, was from their own farm and it was incredibly tasty—simple, fresh and full of flavour.

The facilities were clean and so thoughtfully done. The showers and toilets are creatively made from old pigsties, labeled “sows” for the ladies and “boars” for the gents—such a clever touch! Even the sink basins, crafted from barrels, added to the rustic charm and really tied in with the overall feel of the site.

A huge bonus was being right next to the cider mill. Getting to sample some of the local brews was a treat, and we even got chatting to one of the farmers who shared the exciting plans they have for the future of the site. It’s clear there’s a lot of love and vision going into this place.

We honestly can’t wait to return and see how it all evolves. A truly special spot—thank you for having us!

A aimé : Really peaceful site, excellent for dark skies. Restaurant serves good, hearty food with friendly staff. Cider tasting in the shop definitely worth a visit.
Toilets and showers clean and tidy. It is on a working farm so expect rustic.

A aimé : Lovely welcome, beautiful pitch in the orchard, we were the only ones there that evening so really peaceful. Toilets and showers were immaculate and no rush to move us on the following morning. Bought a few ciders and plenty of free samples to make sure you get one you like before you spend!
Would definitely stay again.
