3 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Cwmffrwd Farm is a magical place. Somewhere we definitely want to come back to. The campsite is peaceful and beautiful. Pridie is a wonderful host running farm and campsite in harmony with nature with composting loos and no vehicles on the field. The sauna is a hidden jem we enjoyed enormously on a rather wet and windy day. Magic!

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

The site is amazing, it feels like truly wild camping but with an air of safety allowing you to relax. David was brilliant, he came round to see if everyone was ok each day and answered any questions. George the horse was lovely and the river front was so peaceful almost like you had been transported back in time. Overall 10/10 we will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

The best campsite we’ve been to! A few of us took to Alex’s place as it was a great meeting spot between the Wirral and Manchester. With the weather being 30 degrees the wild swimming was an incredible additional. We had a whole field to our selves which was great for playing rounders. It felt so special having it all private. Alex was a great host and was there if we needed anything at all. Thank you and I would recommend this campsite to anyone in the future! Best of luck with everything 😊

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Incredible views and friendly hosts! A proper escape from the world!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Very relaxing campsite. Everything was perfect, kitchen space is very handy, facilities may not be luxurious enough for some but I love the rustic, natural feel and appropriate little extras in the bathroom i.e shower gels/soaps and all organic too. And not having a designated pitch is a luxury enough! What a treat. Would recommend 100%

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Perfect location for wanting to get away, there is a horse on a separate part of the land which loves attention. Would recommend

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

What an incredible campsite! It really does feel wild and free, and it's hard to tear yourself away. The river is wonderful to swim in (for children and adults, there are shallow areas, deep areas and two beach strips - one pebble, one silt!), which was an absolute blessing on the boiling hot days we were there. There's a brilliant range of pitches (field, next to the river, deeper in the woods, in a woodland glade.) It felt safe having our dog off lead on the quieter day, with sheep fencing on the borders of the site. Everybody camping there was lovely, which was a bonus! Owner David was very friendly and popped by once a day. I'd recommend bringing supplies to deal with wasps and horse flies, as they were somewhat prolific and we all were bitten whilst we were there. Citronella candles worked well. The bonus to the insect life was being able to watch the bats catch them at dusk! It's a wonderful site for wildlife. Compost toilet was excellent: clean, minimal aroma and well stocked. We absolutely loved it and hope to return as soon as possible.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

We had a lovely couple of nights camping. There is plenty of space so no one was pitched close to us. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were useful and the games are a nice touch. The jetty for launching our kayak was good, although the river was quite weedy, it was a very relaxing paddle though. We didn’t get firewood, but the option to buy logs and the use of the fire pits is a nice option. Within 10 miles of Glastonbury and Bridgewater but off the beaten track, so really peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Hidden gem campsite, really private and beautifully located next to a river. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back many more times.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm experience camp fire

A perfect short break with really friendly, host, other campers and well cared for animals to pet. Kids loved messy about on the river and the classic camp fire.

1 night at Four Winds Camping and Canoeing

We had a fantastic time staying for one night. It was a warm day so we spent the afternoon kayaking and paddle boarding on the river followed by a swim. Great location with the river at the end! Debs was super friendly and helpful!

1 night at Alder Carr Farm

My family had a brilliant time! They loved everything about it, from the peaceful location to the river and fire pit. Thanks so much.

4 nights at Bredy Farm

We really enjoyed our stay at Bredy Farm, which is set in gorgeous countryside & is close to many fabulous beaches along the Jurassic Coast. As they advertise, the campsite can & does get noisy on a Friday & Saturday night, but it's blissfully quiet on weeknights so it's all a question of balance. Having a pool, a bar, a great Italian restaurant & live music/ DJs just over the road on the main farm site means that there's loads to keep you entertained if you're feeling lively/ don't want to cook. All in all, a fun place to stay & a great base for exploring this part of Dorset.

2 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

2 nights at The Slips

Weekend Trip to The Barn KT9

Booked the site for my daughter and 5 friends who had a great time fending for themselves. They loved the fire pit, hammocks and using the bbq for the first… They are already planning the next trip!

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Very private pitch and a friendly host. I would come again!

Weekend Trip to Hook Farm Campsite

What a beautiful find. This campsite was the quiet retreat we were looking for. Spacious with clean utilities. The birdsong from the woods in the early hours was just incredible. The scenery was stunning and the staff super friendly. Close to some wonderful pubs and some of the most stunning walks in Sussex. I’d really recommend this campsite. I took my dog too who loved the surroundings. Only thing I’d add (and only minor) might be good to split the campsite slightly and have an adults only area.

We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen.

Cherry Orchard Farm

7 units · Tents60 acres · Leighton Buzzard, England

Cherry Orchard is a 60 acre Conservation Farm surrounded by heathland and woodland with miles of beautiful walking. This is a tranquil get-away and chance to soak in nature and completely unwind. Contact and booking via our website is of preference to here if you can we would appreciate it. The farm is for people who want to embrace the great outdoors and we recommend that you try and turn your phone off and become one with nature during your stay. There are a few facilities in the farmhouse outbuilding, such as a flushable toilet (free), shower and washing machine, which have extra a charge, but the camping is wild camping in a field not on a mown pitch. There is a good selection of pubs and restaurants nearby in Woburn (4 miles away, next to Woburn Safari) if you want to see some sights. There’s also a good pub in Great Brickhill and 3 pubs in Heath and Reach, walking distance from the farm plus two cafes in the Country Park.

Charlbury Rise Camping

20 units · Tents6 acres · Chipping Norton, England

Whether you’re heading to the Cotswolds for early August’s Wilderness Festival at Cornbury Park, the almost-endless walking options or simply a peaceful weekend escape, Charlbury Rise Camping, edging the pretty market town of Charlbury, covers all bases. There’s no fuss – just back-to-basics camping in the middle of lots of Cotswolds action, with the welcome addition of easy parking and rail access too. Bear in mind that this is off-grid camping with simple facilities: grass pitches, portable loos, fresh water and cold-water showers. Starry skies on clear nights and open space to unwind are added bonuses, but please note there is no electricity. Pitch up in the meadow set on a gentle rise, surrounded by ancient hedgerows and farmland, and you’ll wake up to birdsong, the sound of church bells in the distance and views over the rooftops of one of the Cotswolds’ most attractive market towns. From your pitch, wander into Charlbury (10 minutes’ walk) for supplies or a pint at one of the village pubs, discover re-wilding woodland on strolls through Wychwood Forest, or take the short drive to Chipping Norton (15 minutes’ drive) and a certain very well-known farm shop. As well as attending gigs at the Wilderness Festival from your pitch (half an hour’s walk), a stay at Charlbury Rise Camping puts you in pole position for exploring the Cotswolds National Landscape. Historic Burford (20 minutes’ drive), with its combination of mellow-stone cottages and half-timbered houses, is popular for its antiques shops, while Stow-on-the-Wold (half an hour) centres on a vast market square surrounded by a labyrinth of lanes packed with indie boutiques and eateries. See how the other half once lived with a look around the Palladian mansion at Ditchley Park (10 minutes, guided tours by appointment only). Alternatively, spend the day discovering manicured gardens, strolling vast tracts of woodland and touring numerous historical displays at humongous and lavish Blenheim Palace (15 minutes), the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Those of you with a taste for the finer things in life have your pick of Michelin-starred Cotswold restaurants, gourmet pubs and a store filled with organic produce at Daylesford. And let’s not forget the (almost) obligatory visit to Diddly Squat.

Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

16 units · Motorhomes, Tents4 acres · England

A very warm welcome to our guests at Little Eden, a restful and relaxing, riverside campsite for tents and campervans with grass pitches. We’re in a great spot if you love fishing, kayaking, gorge walking, cycling, seasides, fossil hunting, wild swimming, fell running, bird watching, archaeology or even Viking history! We are 9 miles from the mystical Glastonbury Abbey and Tor and directly on a Sustrans 33 cycle path route. The River Brue runs alongside the campsite with damsel flies fluttering by and kingfishers darting back and forth. We are on the Somerset levels so the sunsets are amazing as well as night time stargazing. We have a private, wooden jetty where you can launch your own paddle board. It’s a perfect get away for campers and nature lovers. Bring your own raised BBQs and logs or buy firewood on site. A family run campsite around 30 miles south of Bristol on the banks of the River Brue, it has a relaxed vibe and we try to keep things simple and straight forward. It’s ideal for doing some day trips nearby, then lighting the BBQ and playing Frisbee (games box you are most welcome to use). Shower and toilet, drinking water, washing-up sink in garden kitchenette. Our big sister site is just 4 miles away, and the café bar at 'Wall Eden Farm' serves fantastic coffee, cake, and family-made Somerset cider. If looking for classic countryside pub meal The Duck at Burtle and The Bird at Westhay are local favourites, be sure to book! Burnham on Sea close by has great fish and chips, a sandy beach, a pier and promenade if you like salty fingers and sandy toes. *DIRECTIONS* Little Eden Adventures is on Goole Maps Postcode takes you within 200 meters of campsite, look for white house with flagpole on stone bridge over river. What3words master.musical.titles. Our grandmother and her 5 sisters grew up milking cattle on the land. It’s steeped in history and archaeology. Bring your fishing rod as there are bream and roach in the River Brue. The site is a dream for cyclists. Electric vehicle charging at Wall Eden Farm with a Farmshop stocked with essential supplies, Moonshine and sweet treats. Sorry no pets as livestock in neighbouring fields.
