Location

–

Loads of room and freestyle pitches. We were met on arrival and given free rein (although the gent who met us pointed us to a great spot which we took). The field itself has a diverse topography, making it feel quite rugged at the same time as allowing for a bit of privacy. There are some lovely views to be had from almost any position.
The site is very basic: a field, some portaloos and a water tap. This is exactly what my son and I like, but if you're looking for more than that then it's not your site.
There are pleasant walks to be had, and there is a pub an easy and safe walk away. The castle itself requires some imagination, but there is a nice bit of history behind it. Almost forgot, we saw a kingfisher on the river as well as a couple of red kites. If we return we'll bring our kayak as you can launch from the site.

Peace and tranquility, amazing, just what we needed, none of lives fancy gadgets just back to nature. Moths, butterflies, bees, kingfishers, red kites and many other things to observe. If you need to unwind and relax this is the place to be. Leaving feeling very contented

Nothing whatsoever

Lovely riverside setting, plenty of space and nice views. Proper toilets (and showers!) would be nice, but the portaloos were very clean :-)

We have just stayed at Castle Farm Campsite for 2 nights in our VW Campervan. Lovely quiet site, pick your own spot and we where lucky to get down near the river. Ideal place if you like Water activities. 3 portaloos on site which where spotlessly clean. Village pub was 10minute walk away, we only had a drink but the food looked very good aswell. Would definately recommend this site.

Fabulous far ranging views across rolling countryside from the top of the site where we parked our campervan and pitched our toilet tent, on very well kept grass. Charles visited to check that all was OK and was charm and helpfulness personified, what a lovely guy! The site is generally rather undulating with some flatter areas, so we used our levelling blocks to tweak things a bit. The portaloos are spotless and well placed.

At the edge of the site the river Nene flows slowly past, and it is (I’m told by the missus) warm and lovely to swim in. In the near distance to the north you see Fotheringhay church, which is a real gem, architecturally quite unusual and with a lot of history, and well worth a visit. Further on into Fotheringhay is the Falcon Inn (less than 15 minutes easy stroll from the campsite). The Falcon is another fascinating building (the village is full of them), the beer and food are superb, and the service was top class. Also, from the window of the Ladies (upstairs), you get the very best view of the flying buttresses on the church (the missus took some photos for me to see).

Fotheringhay Castle is not going to be a high point for you (other than its mound, which is high) - it has long since been repurposed (try the Talbot Hotel in Oundle for example).

Looking for peace and quiet? You’ve got it, apart from those pesky cuckoos and skylarks.
Looking for wildlife? You’ve got it - red kites overhead, damselflies and butterflies flitting around all over the place.
Looking for bangs for your bucks? You’ve got it.
Looking forward to your stay here? You’ve got to be!

Not possible to dislike anything here as long as you appreciate beforehand that the facilities are limited to a few portaloos.
