Absolutely awful experience at The Grazing Grounds. This place should not be listed, let alone advertised as family-friendly.
The horses were completely out of control — they literally walked straight into our campsite, stood all over our gear, licked everything, and ended up damaging our solar panels and fridge. They were invasive and relentless. We had our young family with us, and they were genuinely terrified. At one point we had to lock ourselves in the tent just to get some space from them. That is not a camping experience — that’s a safety issue.
To make things worse, we paid for goat food that was never delivered. No explanation, no follow-up — just another example of how poorly this place is run.
There was next to no communication from the owner. No greeting, no check-in, nothing. It felt like we were completely on our own dealing with a situation that clearly isn’t new.
The toilets? Disgusting. Completely unusable. I wouldn’t even risk guessing what you could catch using them. For a place that advertises amenities, this was beyond unacceptable.
We ended up leaving a day early because we just couldn’t stay there any longer.
0 stars if I could give it. This experience has honestly put me off trusting another Hipcamp site again. Avoid at all costs.
