How about a family camping break at a petting zoo? Sounds like heaven for animal-loving kids… so if you've got some of those in your tribe it sounds like you should be heading for Daisy Mays Farm, 15 minutes’ drive from Bishop’s Stortford, where you can greet and feed the animals. It’s a breeze to get here from London or Cambridge, with direct train services to the stations at Stansted (five minutes’ drive) and an efficient road network. Stays include the use of all the farm’s attractions – both during and outside of public opening times – which include a secure play area, a woodland for den building and an adventure playground with swings, sandpits and a games pitch in addition to the petting farm. Large woodland and grass pitches overlook the sheep paddocks, and there’s ample parking, drinking water, a chemical toilet and ice-pack freezing. Please note there are no electric hookups at this site. There is, however, a handy coffee cabin open for hot drinks all week, with hot food, ice creams and slushes also available 10am-4pm at weekends and during school holidays. Dogs are allowed on leads at the campsite and in the paddocks only, not the play areas or animal fields. As the site is off grid, it's a good idea to bring a torch to find the toilets at night. It is a farm so the ground may be muddy – and please note that there are no heated facilities blocks; the showers freeze in cold temperatures, so they are not available during low season.

Tomt för tält utan elektricitet på gräs och jord

Tyckte om: The setting was brilliant, we felt like we were on a farm which was great for the young children staying with us. The animals were adorable! Plenty of places for children to explore. The staff were friendly and helpful. The camping areas were ideal, we had enough space and views of the woods and surrounding fields. There were hand washing stations dotted around. Very reasonable priced!

Tyckte inte om: The toilet/ shower block is very simple and not that clean. It’s best to take your own toilet paper with you and perhaps some antibacterial wipes. You can hear the planes but it’s not too disruptive.

Tyckte om: Daisy’s farm is a very relaxed and peaceful site. Having the animals around was a nice bonus. The pitch is basic but perfect. There are water points everywhere and the toilets were in a decent state. The farmers are very friendly and helpful as well. I really enjoyed my time at the farm and will definitely visit again.

Tomt för husbil utan elektricitet på grus och hård underlag

Tyckte om: Being a working farm with roaming animals - sheep, ducks. Petting zoo area - bottle fed kids, held chicks, rabbits. Saw a lamb being born and sheep being sheared. Park area.

Tyckte inte om: Advertised as being able to collect eggs and to milk a goat - these wasn’t available. No washing up facilities.

Rekommendera för vänner Besök igen

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. As you have explained there really is a lot going on at the farm at this time of the year. Day visitors and campers alike all get the chance to hold chicks/ducklings, cuddle kids and bottle fed lambs currently. Unfortunately there just us not time in the day to schedule in egg collecting and goat milking at the moment, as we have live births and shearing going on, which are far more enthralling during the spring months. I’m not sure that equates to false advertising, as I’m sure it can be appreciated that everything on the farm is seasonal and subject to change daily. In response to the comment on washing up facilities. We no longer provide these and do not advertise as such. Campers previously have left a lot of mess and we were constantly getting reports of blocked sinks. We therefore took the decision to remove the sink altogether, as our staff only have so much time to be clearing up after others. Kind Regards The Daisy May’s Team

Great family site where we spent valuable time together

Tomt för tält utan elektricitet på gräs och jord

Tyckte om: I almost didn't book to camp here after reading some of the reviews. I was left toyed thinking at £25 per night for up to 6 people was it going to be a case of "you get what you pay for?" Well in my opinion I am overjoyed that we booked. It is fantastic value for money. Yes it is basic camping, but the owners dont lead you to believe anything more. You are staying on a farm! Yes there is mud and animals. But there is also the joy of having the sheep come and sit right next to your tent. There is always something to do on this site. My sons aged 14, 8, 7 and 5 played football in the play area with two large goal posts. They enjoyed the range of animals around the site while setting up the tent. Now for the petting zoo. Which is included in your pitch price. Animal feed was cheaper than any local farms in my area. So I wasn't telling the children to limit the bag of food. The children and myself loved seeing feeding and holding the animals. People have mentioned this is a dog friendly site amd that dogs aren't allowed in the petting zoo. Which is true however we attended with out dog, amd simply left her in the tent anchored down and asked our lovely neighbours to just listen out for her. It's safe to say it caused us no problems. Lastly the staff where all fantastic, and wish people would remember this isn't a hotel. The owners are running multiple businesses, getting alot of sleepless nights with the lambing season and being attentive to guests. Yet always done so with a smile. They are busy yes, but they made sure every child felt inclusive with the animal despite how busy it was. They had time to answer questions while also keeping an eye on the animals on the maternity ward. The weather wasn't great when we stayed but it didn't stop us having a great time. There is cover around tbe petty zoo, and Ollies food hut also has a covered eating area. So when it rained we had place to get shelter and also be entertained or get a hot drink. We will 100 percent be back. The toilet facilities are basic but having flushing toilets, running water and a shower. Alongside plenty of outside taps for cleaning shoes, tap water hand washing stations that other campsite don't.

Tyckte inte om: Peoples reviews, that simply don't do justice to this place.

Tomt för husbil utan elektricitet på grus och hård underlag

Tyckte om: Nice sized field for camping in, plenty of space from neighbours Clear directions and easy self check in Eggs, drinks, snacks etc available from the cafe on site Animals to see

Tyckte inte om: Toilets were an odd set up, very minimal light (even during the day) Slightly disappointing that it's advertised as dog friendly and lots of activities for kids, but you can't do any of the activities with a dog which was a shame.

Rekommendera för vänner Besök igen

Från föreståndaren: Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. We are sorry that once again the toilet block is a reason for complaint but there really is nothing that we can do if visitors leave lights on and drain the battery. It’s a solar system and will run out if used incorrectly, despite the multiple signs. We could install electric (500m from supply) and a new toilet block at huge expense but have taken the assumption that guests would not be happy about the price of this being reflected in their pitch fee. We will therefore urge people to fully read the listing before booking to stay with us, to avoid disappointment and come prepared for a simple flushing toilet, hot gas shower and drinking water tap. To confirm, dogs are welcome on our campsites but yes there are restrictions in the animal petting area and picnic area. The rest of the farm is available for dogs to visit and the path that leads out our back gate leads to miles of off-road footpaths. However, we do request that owners keep their dogs on leads at all times on the farm. At this time of year dog worrying can lead to abortion of unborn lambs and huge amounts of stress to new mums. Kind Regards The Daisy May’s Team

Tyckte om: Great place for the kids to explore. Staff very welcoming and explained the rules of the site on arrival. Kids can wander the animals and fed the lambs. Peaceful nights sleep

Tyckte inte om: The camper van area was very tight. No more that 15m x 15m. Sola light for the toilet broken so need a torch even during the day. Grandson disappointed as we were advised to go to the farm at 9am to pick his own eggs. Got there on time but no one around to help out.

Lokala sevärdheter

If your kids are demanding yet more animal encounters, spend the day admiring the big cats, penguins and rare red pandas at Paradise Wildlife Park (45 minutes’ drive), where there’s also a dinosaur-themed woodland trail. Alternatively, head for Colchester Zoo (50 minutes) to spend time shadowing the keepers. Once you prise the kids away from the wildlife, let them loose on the adventure golf at Golf World Stansted (five minutes) while you practise your swing on the driving range or play a round on the nine-hole parkland course. Still outdoors, take forest walks through centuries-old trees at National Trust - Hatfield Forest (15 minutes), or have a stroll around ornamental ponds at The Gardens of Easton Lodge (20 minutes), with a layout dating from the Tudor era. There’s more local heritage to be discovered at Mountfitchet Castle and Norman Village (five minutes), where you can tour a reconstructed medieval farming settlement and castle. Keen to learn more about World War II? Have a meander around the extensive collection of fighter planes at IWM Duxford (half an hour).
