Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

What a gorgeous site - at one side a babbling brook, that you can hear as you fall asleep, to pairs of Red Kites and Buzzards wheeling overhead - and flocks of Goldfinches hopping about the grasses in the meadow and field. The weather was very good and I fell asleep watching bats and the moon rise, with the van door open all night. There's already stone fire pits, a compostable loo, and a lovely area where you can pitch up and enjoy the woods and the area, in peace and quiet. David is the owner and is lovely, so very helpful, which I appreciated loads. I can see why this little slice of heaven has been nominated for awards - and I'd suggest that people come and visit to try it out for themselves.

3 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Lovely, peaceful campsite. All of the facilities were well maintained. The countryside views were lovely and it was so good to be close to the farm shop. Would definitely visit again!

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

Beautiful setting. If you want to get back to nature this is the place for you! We were a large family group celebrating three birthdays and it’s perfect to pitch up for campers and campervanners. The toliets are great and the shower was hot. My only feedback is to sort out the temperature of both showers so they run at a decent temp. One was cold and the other was too hot. And more bins on site so you can recycle more easily - food / non food. You’re encouraged to recycle at home as it’s a greenfield site. We’ll be back for sure!

Weekend Trip to The Old Airfield

Last minute booking, very accomodating. Stayed on adults only side of airfield. Very quiet. Great addition to be able to hire firepit and wood. Will be back again

Really lovely chilled camp. The showers are fantastic. It isn’t crowded so everyone has a great view. Our dog was welcomed! We had such a great time. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

My 8 year old loves making dens and bases and has heard about wild camping that my wife and I used to do and wanted to do some himself. Since he isn’t quite up to a proper expedition at his age I went looking for a campsite where we could give him a taste of it and found this place. We camped in the woods within a few metres of the river. We cooked over fires and slept under a tarp shelter between trees, boiled water from the river and in his eyes lived in the wilderness for a couple of days. Just what we were after.

3 nights at Southover Woods and Camping

An absolutely magical campsite. Staying here felt like a true escape from the world, the pitches are so well spread out that it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. With no cars the kids were able to be wild and free, they loved playing on the big swing exploring the woods. The compost loo and bucket shower are positioned on the pitch so that they felt really secluded, which was great, as before arriving I was a little worried that there was a risk that other campers would be able to see us, but that wasn't the case at all. This felt as close to nature as can be, but with just enough of the comforts to make it easy! I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Weekend Trip to Primrose Fields Campsite

Really lovely campsite. Very welcoming on arrival and gave us good information about the site and facilities. We loved the field and felt we weren’t on top of other groups. Felt very safe and secure. We will be using again! Thank you very much.

5 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Abbey Home Farm Campsite is a real find if you’re looking for a peaceful, rural getaway. I loved the quietness and natural feel of the site – it’s surrounded by countryside and feels properly off-grid in the best way. It’s particularly great for families with young children. The site limits cars and doesn’t allow dogs, which made it feel really safe and relaxed for our kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s a gentle, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The on-site shop and café were excellent – stocked with fresh, organic produce and really tasty food. Everything is thoughtfully done and clearly in tune with the farm’s ethos. I had to delay my trip at the last minute, and the team were incredibly understanding, letting me shift the booking and even stay on extra days. That kind of flexibility and kindness made a big difference. There are beautiful walks straight from the site and plenty of local amenities nearby if needed – although honestly, once you’re there, you might not want to leave. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a slower pace in a gorgeous, family-friendly setting.
