Kingfisher Campsite

Ik was blij met Loved the open space and size of pitches. Was so peaceful and calm with so many great walks around the local area. Facilities were perfect, basic but had all that is needed for a camping trip.
Loved every minute and will be back again soon! Dogs had a great time too even in the heat! Staff were also really helpful! Loved the views looking across and spotting the train as it went past.

Ik was blij met Peace and quiet, our 2nd time here in the last few months

Ik was niet blij met The black water disposal point wasn't available

Ik was blij met It is a well looked after field, half of it quite steep, other half is in level. Toilet block is basic but was always clean. There was a separate family shower room with toilet at the block, what was quite handy. The hot shower is heaven, and with the small shower panel/heather it can't run out, even there are many people! (3 toilets and one shower /♂️ ♀️ + 1 family bathroom)
The site is beside the road, but it isn't really disturbing, very light traffic. Public footpath is going through the field, so easy to start your walking from your tent, don't have to drive, if you don't want. Main reception is a bit further away(better to drive), but you can get assistance from the manager's mobile number, what you can find on site at many different places. No onsite lights, only at the toilet/shower block.

Ik was niet blij met The gate of the field has a padlock and it was the responsibility of the people camping on the site to leave it open or keep it close. When we arrived I felt a bit anxious about anyone can come and go even by car without recognition, no safety cameras or anything like that. Everything was fine and the site was quite when we were there, but if you prefer higher level of security, maybe book to another part of their site...

Ik was blij met Large site, not busy even on a bank holiday weekend, plenty of space, open fires, close to resivoir, secure site.lovely views lots of wildlife. Sounds of bluebell steam trains in background. Close to road but not a busy road. Resivoir nearby excellent for walks and wildlife.
A basic no frills proper camping site, just pitch where you think best in lovely countryside

Ik was niet blij met The toilet/shower block is basic, which is fine with plenty of hot water, but needs a better standard of and more regular cleaning and toilet rolls refilled more often. Young staff in activity centre could be a bit more knowledgeable, but very friendly

Van de manager: Thanks for your review Mark, we're really pleased that you enjoyed your stay- the no frills traditional camping vibe is exactly our bread and butter! Totally take on board the regular cleaning and refilling of loo rolls- Kingfisher is new to us so we'll be sure to adjust this. The toilet block is also well overdue a refurb and that's next on our list. Hopefully see you soon :-)

Ik was blij met Great location peaceful and beautiful

Ik was niet blij met Nothing loved it all

Ik was blij met Price, Simplicity, Views

Ik was niet blij met DofE kids, but not really a problem.

Van de manager: Thanks so much for your review! It's worth noting for any future campers looking to book that our public field is next to our DofE field at our Outdoor Centre. They're usually pretty good but kids are kids. Hope to see you again soon.

Ik was blij met wonderful site, great location, would come again

Van de manager: Thanks so much for your review :-)

Ik was blij met Amazing. Really clean facilities and really friendly. Felt very safe for a group of young people. We also managed to see a steam train pass through the vineyard which was really cool.

Van de manager: Thanks Amelia! We're very lucky to be close to the Bluebell Railway- it often 'toots' as it goes past for the kids onsite.

Ik was blij met Lovely location overlooking Kingscote Vineyard and the Bluebell Railway line on one side and a few minutes walk from Weirwood Reservoir. Easy access and good toilet and shower facilities. Nice flat field, then sloping down to give nice views of the farm beyond.

Ik was niet blij met Reasonably close to road, but not disturbed overnight.

Van de manager: Thanks so much, Andrew, we're really glad you had a good time! Family / Public camping is new to us and we're really pleased with your review :-)

Ik was blij met Easy check in.
Good location.
Plenty of space.
Plenty of flat spots.
Drinking water available.
Friendly people who run the place.
Looks like there’s lots of activities for groups. Nice walking places and close to the reservoir.
Toilets close by.

Ik was niet blij met Although I don’t expect showers for this sort of price, I don’t think I would have liked to shower in them.

I was concerned if it rained too much my van would get stuck in the mud so I stayed quite close to the path.
