Hale Farm Campsite

Facilities were always super clean, good location and super helpful hosts that were available whenever.

–

Nice spacious pitches with fire pits. We loved being able to visit the animals in the morning too. Being able to buy eggs, sausages, bacon and firewood on site was a massive plus too. We’ll definitely be back next year.

It wasn’t an issue for us as it was quiet but I wonder whether there are enough toilets and showers if the campsite is full.

The size of the pitch was enormous and the addition of a fire pit was great especially for my grandson who loved toasting his marshmallows on it.
I liked the fact that the site was not over commercialised but there was all that we needed.
My grandson and all the other children loved the fact that they could visit the animals and especially popular were the baby goats.
We would definitely like to stay again.

This is a fantastic campsite and we’ll certainly be going back!

The site is very relaxed and when we stayed, everyone we met were kind and friendly; the kids made friends straight away. They loved visiting the farm every morning and the HUGE amounts of space where they could play.

Usually we go for campsites with electricity but this trip has made us realise that we don’t actually need it - we can quite easily ‘rough it’ for a bit (although being able to freeze ice-packs at this site helped!)

The pitches are very large with firepits already dug into the ground - it is very calming seeing them flickering around the campsite at night.

The compost toilets work really well and the showers are warm. They are quite quirky and housed in what appear to be sheds but certainly cleaner and more effective than some campsites with large toilet/shower blocks. All are cleaned regularly by the management who are welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

Firewood, bacon, eggs and sausages can be purchased at the top of the field and for those who need their coffee fix each morning, a small van comes round selling lattes etc. and pastries. It wasn’t our thing however everyone has their needs! In the evening an ice-cream van comes around selling delicious ice- cream - it’s the first time I’ve ever seen my children defeated by sweet treats.

When we stayed, everyone was quiet at night and respectful in the morning which can’t be said for every campsite these days.

We really enjoyed the charm of this campsite and have already recommended it to friends and family.

There is a lovely short walk to a local village which has a great pub!

Nothing

Very peaceful, clean, well looked after camp site. The fact that each pitch has its own firepit and that they sell fire making materials at a very reasonable price is great.
Also the ice creams from Geno’s van are excellent!

With the size of the site, we felt that another facilities block in the lower half of the field would be advantageous, although it wasn’t a problem.
No wi-fi - especially as mobile signal is very poor ( at least on O2 and Vodafone)

Lovely site that's not overcrowded, firepits on every pitch and pitches themselves are a good size. The facilities although basic we kept in top condition by the staff.

Loved the little extra touches like being able to visit the farm, and purchase fresh sausages, eggs and bacon; plus the morning visit by the coffee and pastry van.

Also two excellent pubs nearby, nice walks and lots to do locally.

Would highly recommend and will visit again.

Friendly farmer, lovely animals, fire pits, cleanliness, eco toilets, value for money on pitch price, very competitive.

Shower turning cold, lack of more meat to buy (only sausages and eggs, was hoping for more variety), the areas behind trees on left a bit swampy. WiFi?
