Kingfisher Campsite

Tyckte om Hi, my first experience with my wife in kingfisher campsite was wonderful and exceptional. We owe this great experience to the staff and especially the director Rachael who was very kind and welcoming. She was very understanding and professional. I want to thank her for making it feel like we were part of their family.

Tyckte om Nice site with lovely view of the local vineyards and hills. Toilets and showers were clean and lovely to have hot water. The washing up sink outside needs to be plumbed in. Very misleading advertising as campers are unable to use the activity centre Nextdoor. It is for groups of 12 minimum (scouts/guides/organised groups etc) and no option for campers to do any of the activities advertised which was really disappointing. However the Paddlesports at Weirwood Reservoir (15 min drive away) has a variety of water sports to choose from. Lovely cafe there and stunning walks around the reservoir.
The campsite is only level at the top of the hill, with room for a few pitches. The rest of the space is completely unpitchable as severely sloping. Unadvertised is the beautiful walk at the bottom left of the field which takes you onto the mid Sussex link route. The woods there are lovely with a little stream flowing through - perfect for kids and dogs to play in. All sorts of wildlife around too.

Tyckte om Open space, park where you like, facilities clean and worked well. Camp fire options are plentiful, well used and well respected.
Whole site looked like a really good set up and I'd definitely return if I'm in the area again.

Tyckte inte om Tricky to get hold of anyone before arrival. Latest check in of 1700 was missed because of traffic delays. I couldn't find a contact number that worked to get in touch with anyone. Fortunately on arrival there was a mobile number on the gate that worked straight away but would have been nice to have that information ahead of time.

Tyckte om Beautiful setting, hardly anyone else camping( 3 other pitches). Secure gates at entrance.
Plenty of info about the campsite given to us on arrival. Liked hearing the whistle of the Bluebell railway steam train every now and again.

Tyckte inte om I found the gates quite tricky to manoeuvre, and heavy both entering and leaving the site.
The washing up sink in chiff chaff field wasn't connected to water or drains so the washing up had to be done in the toilet block which was not ideal.
There was some rubbish by the bins that appeared to have been just left there.there were recycling bins but no general waste bin. We took our rubbish home.

Tyckte om The view and setting, the freedom to pitch anywhere. The proximity to local activities, such as paddle boarding.

Decent shower, with consistent hot water and pressure.

Tyckte inte om There was no designated washing up area, which meant we had to use the drinking water tap, which was cold. So we had to wash everything again when we got home.

There was only one shower. The toilets were often grubby, the loo roll was in limited supply and often ran out long before being replaced.

The scout leaders camping the neighbouring area were rude and accusatory, when we unintentionally tried to use the toilet designated to their group.

Tyckte om Views were amazing and great nearby activities.

Tyckte inte om Toilets were dirty, rarely any loo roll but eventually did get cleaned but not until the morning. No washing up facilities other than in the toilets or next to the elsan tip.

Tyckte om Freedom!
Sturdy old school toilet & shower block.
Freedom to use bbq frame/fire pit.
The view and the steam train tooting through the trees in the distance leaving it's steam trailing above the trees.
6m min. between pitches and only 7 in the field I think at any time ...only 1 other party there when I was (on a friday night in July!) and they were on the other side so it was perfect!
No wifi... just how I like it!

Tyckte inte om Bit of a wordy notice about rules in the toilet but I think that was for group staff as it is also a kids activity centre.

Tyckte om Loved the open space and size of pitches. Was so peaceful and calm with so many great walks around the local area. Facilities were perfect, basic but had all that is needed for a camping trip.
Loved every minute and will be back again soon! Dogs had a great time too even in the heat! Staff were also really helpful! Loved the views looking across and spotting the train as it went past.
