Hook Farm

Понравилось The area, the size of the campsite

Не понравилось Most pitches on a slope of sorts. Compost toilets not normal ones. Kept awake by a noisy party in a house nearby (not the campsites fault, but contributed to a rubbish sleep)

Понравилось The “vibe” lots of friendly campers and families with young children.
Not over crowded, friendly, helpful staff.
Nice warm showers.
Good provision of fresh water + toilets in many places.

Не понравилось I’ve seen compost toilets run better (be used better) - I think maybe signage / education could help here. The staff were in obvious, regular attendance of the toilets.

The site is very hilly / lacks many level spots. We were lucky to find a mostly level pitch.

Понравилось Lovely setting with lots of space and woods for the children to play.

Не понравилось There was no obvious place to recycle things, so everything had to go in the bin, which wasn't great. The site is also under the Gatwick flight path, so it's pretty noisy with planes from about 4am. The site is very hilly with level places to pitch very few and far between.

Понравилось All great.
Very spacious pitches with loads of free space between tents.
You have nearly wild camping experience.
Owners don't bother you every few minutes either, so you have loads of privacy.

Не понравилось Some pitches are on little slopes, so slipping can be challenging if you position your tent incorrectly 😜😉

Понравилось Loved the wildness and simplicity of the site which added to the adventure. Allowed to have campfire which made for an authentic experience. Friendly welcome by staff members. Great showers.

Понравилось Beautiful setting. Felt very off grid. Large campsite which meant even though there were a good number of other campers you felt like you had plenty of space.

Facilities were more than adequate - although the showers weren't hot. But this wasnt a problem since it was a heat wave!

Не понравилось Not very level pitches. If it gets very busy it could be difficult to find a flat spot.

Понравилось The view, peace, birds and size of site meant it didn't feel busy. The showers were hot and well planned, plenty of space to get changed and hang clothes etc.

Не понравилось Not a lot of flat areas to park a campervan but i knew that before I went so was prepared to park on a slope.
The state of the compost toilets - I don't think this was the fault of the site as I saw them check and clean them in the evening and morning. More the fault of the other campers who didn't seem to care how they treated them despite there being clear instructions in each toilet. So they were smelly and dirty most of the time sadly. Compost toilets can be brilliant if used correctly so it was sad to see them misused.

Понравилось The beauty, tranquility and simplicity of Hook Farm. We received a warm welcome and everything was so relaxed.

Понравилось The peaceful and natural surroundings. We have not used the showers but they looked nice.

It was very calm and campers were not on top of each others. We liked the rule about no music.

Не понравилось Not a criticism but be aware:

The camping is on massive slopes and we struggled to find somewhere flat for the VW van.

And because of heavy rainfall (nobody's fault) during our stay we struggled to get the van up the slope and out of the camping site. We had to push the van which was sliding.
