Castle farm campsite
Grass camping ground
Campsite view

What a spot for a wild-camping break. A vast, grass field on the side of the River Nene, with the ruins of Fotheringhay Castle as your backdrop. Whatever the pitches at Castle Farm Site may lack in facilities, they certainly make up for it in the peace and calm of their surroundings. Please note that this site does not have electricity, so you’ll need to bring torches for moving around at night – and if you really can’t bear to be out of touch with the world, chargers for your devices – from home. So what does the site offer? Simple portable toilets, riverside pitches and rural seclusion. Stroll along the river to the historic village of Fotheringhay (five minutes’ walk) for a couple of pints in the local, and there are plenty of traditional and welcoming pubs in less than 20 minutes’ drive. In other practical considerations, you can replenish essentials for the barbecue (again, bring kit from home) from the convenience store in Warmington (five minutes’ drive) or do a serious stock up in Peterborough (20 minutes) supermarkets.

Likte: Really friendly campsite. You can choose where you camp but have to keep far away from others which is lovely! Great access to a beautiful bit of the river Nene. Toilets are unbelievably clean and the ability to hire a fire pit and buy wood is a great touch.

Likte ikke: Nothing!

Likte: We regularly choose Castle farm campsite as a quick getaway, it’s such a peaceful site with stunning views and direct access to the water for paddleboarding / kayaking. There is always a warm welcome from Kaz on arrival and you are free to choose your spot to set up. It’s a basic site with toilets that are cleaned every morning. If you are looking for a tranquil peaceful setting right on the river, then I can highly recommend this site.

Likte ikke: Nothing.

Likte: Large pitches, beautiful views, lovely walks nearby, helpful friendly staff and super clean services. Also loved the back to basics camping and the fact we could have a controlled campfire in the evening. One of the best little sites I've had the pleasure of staying on in 20 years of camping 👍👌

Likte: This was my first foray into cycle camping. It'd been 25 years since I last camped. When this was as a family, and was over many years and numerous camp site around the UK.
Castle Farm Campsite I would rate at the top of my favourites. The simplicity and basic nature of the site was refreshing. To be met by Kaz and her partner who were very welcoming, friendly and informative. There are no plots set out. Simple etiquette rules to follow. I found a nice pitch near the river.
What added to the experience was the wind and rain overnight. I loved it. I was there to test out my new gear. Which didn't fail me
The location adds to the experience. The history and beauty. I shall be returning.

Likte ikke: I was only able to stay the one night.

Likte: Beautiful campsite and location by the river, with amazing history right there. It feels utterly unspoilt. We booked because of an interest in Mary Queen of Scots and the Plantagenets. It’s cool to have such history right there.

Likte ikke: We had booked and paid via pitch up but when we arrived they weren’t expecting us, and the campsite had officially closed the week before. Luckily we were allowed to stay but they had already removed toilet facilities, which wasn’t ideal and we were glad of the 24 hour Esso a five min drive away just in case. So we recommend confirming bookings directly with the campsite if late in season, rather than trusting the reliability of the availability dates on pitch up. We did still have a lovely time, but we are both fairly chilled people. Others may have really struggled or had to cancel their holiday.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for being so reasonable and sorry for the mix-up! Hope to see you again next season.

Likte: On arrival I was met by the lovely Kaz who told me about the site and then pointed me in the direction of the most magical spot overlooking the River Nene.
Two portaloos were in the same field. The cleanest and nicest smelling portaloos I've ever encountered.
The site was incredibly peaceful. I came to sit and relax but other, more adventurous souls were paddle boarding and fishing.
The stars at night were beautiful as very little light pollution.

Likte ikke: Going home!

Likte ikke: The so called manager who approached us (drunk). Put her light in my face. For no obvious reason she
Started shouting to send us all to bed. We were not having loud conversation or loud music.
Also when I apologised for any inconvenience she said I am being rude and threatened us saying that we will never step foot on that camping spot again. We stayed 07/09/24-08/09/24

Lokale attraksjoner

If you fancy having an easy day and staying close to the campsite, have a poke around the ruined castle in Fotheringhay (five minutes’ walk). It has played an important part in history, being the birthplace of King Richard III in 1452, and where Mary, Queen of Scots, was put on trial and executed in 1587. It’s worth having a look in the church too, where there are royal monuments and tombs near the altar. Slightly further afield, the mellow-stone market town of Oundle (10 minutes’ drive) is packed with Georgian architecture and indie shops. You can take guided tours of sumptuous apartments in the vast mansion of Burghley House (25 minutes), walk in the gardens, pick up souvenirs at summer food markets and watch concerts throughout the year. Holidaying with kids who need to run off some energy? Spoil them with a session in the play barn at Sacrewell Heritage Farm and Country Centre, or let them cuddle rabbits and guinea pigs at the animal village. Head for Barnwell Country Park (both 10 minutes) so younger kids can have a safe play on the wooden climbing equipment.
