Riverside Camping

Ik was blij met It was a beautiful open field, loads of space and some simple amenities. Exactly what we needed. The view was spectacular we loved it. It was very peaceful and the dog loved wandering in the longer patches of grass.

Ik was blij met Perfect for our one night stay. Right by the river. Simple, clean and no dramas.

Ik was niet blij met Only slight downside was that one group dominated all the tables and the jetty. Camped all around that area.

Nice and friendly group, but perhaps have that area a no camping zone.

Ik was blij met Free choice for where to park the campervan with plenty of space from other campers (end of Aug when weather had turned); quiet location in lovely farm field with good views. Loved the sheep & chickens, & passing the goats. I liked it being so simple. Friendly host.

Other reviewers comments on finding the site were helpful - google maps got me there using the postcode.

Ik was niet blij met Wasn't quite sure which was the farmhouse for check in - it's the older one within an enclosed farmyard, before the more modern looking house.

Ik was blij met Open fields unlike some other sites. Nice see animals in adjoining fields. Spotted goat; unusual but nice. Very relaxing. Staff very friendly. Portaloo Toilets very deceiptive but they have fully flush system and running cold water. Only 2 toilets and 3 showers. Open air kitchen with fresh but only cold water. Some Campers managed to fish and canoe in the river.

We managed to locate the site easily using Google Maps.

Access to Camp site is through the farm. This may cause confusion. Also large motorhomes have to navigate carefully from access road and through farm to get to camp site.

Ik was niet blij met Is it value for money when compared to other sites. I've camped at other sites paying £25 per night that included electricity and gas better kitchen and washing facilities with running hot water.

Ik was blij met Cheap, laid back vibe, no road noise. You can choose your own pitch. Just turn up and pitch up as long as you have booked first. As a solo female traveller, it was nice to see other solo travellers there as well as a nice mix of families. There was a friendly swan which wandered onto the dire from the river which was nice to see.

Ik was niet blij met I wasn't a fan of the mixed sex toilets. At one point in walked in on a man who was in there and hadn't locked the door. He was also smoking in there which was not pleasant.
Would be nice to have separate washing up sink from where people clean their teeth, and for a campsite this size, I'd hope for more than one sink.
Lastly, not a criticism of the site at all, but when I put the address and just code into Google maps, it took me to a different Home farm in a nearby village. Google maps did not seem to recognise Home farm Thornton, not sure why. In the end I used just the postcode, rather than "Home farm" which worked.

Ik was blij met Had a great weekend away. The campsite is great as It was quiet. The amenities were clean regularly. For a quite weekend away I would definitely recommend.

Ik was blij met Clean toilets, quiet at night and near riverside

Ik was niet blij met The grass is a bit too long, it will be perfect if it could be trimmed (like the camping van field)
