Home Farm Camping

A aimé Secluded small orchard behind an old farmhouse, this little site was a gem of a find.
Situated just out of Holbeach its a very basic and informal site with just 1 toilet (proper one) and a washbasin kept clean during my stay. On arrival pick your spot, no need to check in.
I was a lone motorcycle camper and stayed 3 nights while touring the North Norfolk coast and South Lincolnshire.
It was absolutly ideal as a base sourcing food to cook and a few beers from Holbeach Aldi at the end of a days riding to chill, read a book and wind down for the next days journey.
I missed not having a shower but body wipes and a wash at the sink is good enough for 3 nights...(I am a northerner)!
I stayed up well after dark as there is no light pollution, a clear sky with a full moon was not to be missed. Midges were present but armed with skin wipes and spray they kept well off (or they just didnt like unshowered Northerners)?
The owners are very friendly as are the two huge Akita type dogs that will bark 1st time they see you but once they get to know you they ignore you (although "Grey" the biggest of the two didnt want to let me off the hook) He barked at me right up to the 3rd night. I finally got to meet him that evening with his owner and he was well up for a petting (the dog that is) then just laid quiet as I chatted to the site owners.
Thought I had cracked it when I walked to the toilet next morning and Grey completely ignored me, only to have a go at me again on my way back 🤦😂

N'a pas aimé If the wind is coming from the south/east you can hear the traffic on the A17.
Grey does not like unwashed Northerners!.....other than that would have given a 10.

A aimé Spacious and peaceful on the site.
Friendly welcome on arrival …. We simply loved it.

N'a pas aimé A little close to the A17 though that did not deter from our enjoyment of this lovely little site.

A aimé Lovely little site with a bit of a magical feel as you approach through narrow trees. Stayed here for one night over the bank holiday weekend with our roof tent. Booked very last minute arriving within a few hours of booking, no issues. Back to basics, turn up, choose somewhere to pitch and enjoy.
Facilities consist of one single toilet (proper bog, not a portaloo) which was kept clean but I imagine it could be busy when there are more people on the site.

N'a pas aimé Two big dogs in a pen between the site and the toilet block, quite intimidating for little children.

A aimé Great layout, firepits allowed, clean toilet.

N'a pas aimé Only drawback is the road noise, the A17 is across the fields and was noticeable in the evening.

A aimé A nice and peaceful site with a selection of places to camp up and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The toilet was a proper toilet that was clean and well stocked too - not a cramped wobbly portaloo.

N'a pas aimé I can imagine it could get noisy if lots of people use the toilet at night because you have to walk past the dogs that are sleeping

A aimé Private camping site.
Beautiful dogs who barked at us in the begging and after an hour they got use to us! They are gorgeous!!

N'a pas aimé Got lost finding this place, but owner had sent us a message explaining how to get there. We found the place only using 3 words.

We stayed through the bank holiday weekend for two nights. And it was quite busy. The toilet.. First day there was some toilet paper, in the evening it got finished and I was hoping that the owners will leave some extra paper for us. Wake up in the morning and there was no paper in the toilet. I didn't expect that, so first thing in the morning we had to drive to a shop for some toilet paper..
We found paper in the toilet only the last day 10min before check out. Would be lovely to at least know that you have to have your own toilet paper.

Also we have left the message on the booking for the owner asking about fire pit and some wood as we do that for all our camping sites. Of course we haven't received any info back. So good that we took our small fire pit, otherwise we won't be able to have some fire. More communication from owner would be much appreciated next time.

A aimé Fantastic little campsite. Perfect for back to basics camping. On-site toilet kept clean and tidy. We had an electric pitch and had no issues with charging. Campfires allowed which is not offered everywhere. Great family atmosphere. Definitely recommend
