Daisy May’s Farm
We really enjoyed our stay overall. Our woodland pitch was lovely, with plenty of shade for the tent and the children, and it felt like a peaceful spot to camp.
We did find arrival a little confusing as we weren’t sure where to check in, and we didn’t see or speak to any campsite staff during our stay despite sending a WhatsApp message. It would also be helpful if the woodland camping area was kept vehicle-free as described online, as cars were driving and parking throughout the area.
The campsite has a lot of potential, but it feels like it would benefit from more regular care and maintenance. The toilet and shower facilities were unfortunately quite unpleasant, and the bins at the farm entrance were overflowing. There was also litter in the children’s play area and sandpit that wasn’t cleared during our stay. We’d also have appreciated recycling facilities.
The children’s areas, particularly the sandpit and the woodland walk activities, looked a little tired and would really benefit from some TLC. It feels like a place that was once created with a lot of thought and care, and with a little more upkeep it could be fantastic.
A special mention to the lovely young woman running the animal encounters on Saturday—she was incredibly friendly, brilliant with the children, and made the experience really enjoyable.
We hope this feedback is taken in the spirit it’s intended, as it really does feel like a place with the potential to be something special.
Has the basic needs and is on a lovely farm with activities for kids.

The location is beautifull, but there ar e a lot of aeroplanes flying over and the toilets and showers are very old and pover.

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere my little girl loved it
LOVED this stay. If your little one has sensitive ears you may need ear plugs/defenders as the aircrafts are rather loud. But over all, I loved this trip. Maybe need to take your own headlamp/torch as bathroom lamps were temperamental. Staff were amazing, everything well equipped. Would definitely recommend.

Had a lovely, welcoming and friendly, and really enjoyed the farm, getting to hold 2 day old ducks and bottle feed baby goats. We'll be back
The tent and surrounding space is lovely. The interior of the tent is very cozy and comfortable. The host is lovely, and was very friendly and attentive. The use of a communal kitchen and seating is a lovely touch.
The toilets, however, are grim. They are portaloos and are not pleasant in any way at all. There is also a compost toilet available on the main camping field.
I wish the host well as they continue to develop this campsite. If I took my own toilet facilities, I would visit again.
Love Daisy Mays. The staff are polite and helpful. The vibe is relaxed and the site is generally clean and well maintained.
The only thing that could do with attention are the toilets. They are basic (which is ok, no-one is expecting luxury) but they could do with being checked by staff more regularly. The bins were always full and the locks on the doors were a nightmare.

Campsite has lots of space. Farm animals are lovely.
We had a good time but the toilet and shower situation was terrible. There were two toilets and 1 shower for the whole campsite. It was not a good situation for families having to queue everytime you needed the toilet. The toilets were very poor old and not very clean. The shower wasnt even hot i had a cold shower when i eventually got it. My grandchildren loved the animals but i do think an upgrade on the toilet situation would improve the site. Also you might need to consider the constant noise fron Stansted airport.

Basic camping facilities but the access to the farm makes it a great location.
We had a nice stay at Daisy May’s in our campervan and awning with 2 adults & 2 boys (age 9 & 13). The animals weren’t as much as a draw for them as I had hoped, but it was lovely camping with so many sheep and goats grazing in the adjoining space. There were only a few campers in the Friday night, but much busier on the Saturday. It’s only an hour from east london so suited our purpose of going to duxford airshow., but the facilities would put us off from going again. Nowhere to wash dishes and shower room / toilet needs some investment!! The rose and crown 10 mins away drive was a lovely evening meal. There was no one around to ‘check in’ or out with and had no contact with the managers at all! Really hoped we would get to see the planes taking off at Stansted but unfortunately not. You can certainly hear them. Would be so fab for younger kids.
Nice site but was hard to find anyone in charge. There were no checks that we had actually paid so a bit worrying that anyone can just turn up and access the site.
Lovely bonus having the animals. Our daughter loved it, especially the sand pit. We would come back if in the area.
We had a great stay at Daisy May’s farm, met some other lovely families while we enjoyed our first camping trip as a family. Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere. Lovely time seeing all the animals.

Nice laid back campsite with friendly campers and staff
My family had a great time camping at daisy May's farm, this was our first visit and our first time camping. We loved that we could pitch up where we wanted and the fact there was proper toilets and a shower.
the staff were all so lovely, they really engaged with the children particularly the young girl with the horses who kept them occupied for hours and hours. I saw another young man help a family setting up their tent he seemed to have such a great attitude and all staff answered any questions we had about animals or activities.
My family all loved spending time with the animals the play area was also a big hit.
I can not recommend this place enough and we will be returning in the summer holidays!

Another great weekend here kids loved it again. Always ask to come back
Kids loved the camping and all the things you can do at the farm really enjoyed themselves would recommend
Lovley staff, the padoc we stayed in was actually really nice, however I dont think we pitched up in the correct one as we couldn't find any signs to the woodland site. the staff were more than happy we stayed there as we had already pitched up by the time they noticed. We did find the woodland area later that night but I don't think we would have stayed there as it is quite busy with tourists walking through visiting daisy Mays farm. Also the main padoc was full of nettles and quite small. As we had a toddler and Labrador with us I don't think we would have stayed there either. The toilet and shower situation was fairly unpleasant (literally a farm toilet) however this was usable and better than nothing. Completely our fault but didn't realize how close this site was to the airport. Planes are very loud most of the night so didn't get much sleep. This is a shame because the site it's self is actually very calm and peaceful in the evenings.
We had a lovely stay here however I think we got really lucky in the padoc we pitched in as we had it to ourselves. It might be worth updating the signs to the woodland site and potentially stopping foot traffic coming through there. this would certainly have been more appealing to us anyway.
It was great. A bit run down but the animals were happy and cared for.
Very friendly staff and the kids loved the place. We camped in our motorhome so were self contained. I wouldn't have liked to have to use the shower. Bring plenty of changes of clothes if your children like playing in water like our grandchildren did. They had lots of fun playing in the stream.
Good site. Lovely animals. Coffee. Food. Fires allowed. Terrible shower.

What a lovely place.
The staff were so friendly
The site was so cool
Nice to walk round, interact with the animals, all of them.
Will be staying again
Was looking for a back-to-nature near-wild camping experience and this fitted the bill. No electricity or wi-fi, just us and some sheep (which is what we wanted). What we did get was a stand-pipe for drinking water and a toilet block with a shower, so not completely off-the-grid but enough for us to pretend we were Bear Grylls.
The staff were super-friendly and the added bonus of seeing and interacting with the wide selection of farm-animals was very welcome.
Lovely rustic camping experience. Not as much space outside the tent for the kids to run around as hoped, but being able to light a fire is a rarity and a treat. It is advertised as bare bones, but does come across a little shabby - it could all do with a little love and attention (whilst retaining it's basic, wild feel). Animal and farm interaction is lovely, you're in close proximity to it all, despite knowing this I was still surprised by all the glowing eyes from the herd of sheep when I pointed a torch into the field! Overall, stripped back, charming, could do with a bit of a tidy.

The idea of camping on a farm is amazing but unfortunately it's very run down. There was rubbish left on the pitch we picked, didn't realise till we had started pitching up, was obviously not checked when previous person left. We left a day early as no one wanted to use the shower and looked terrible, the toilet was bad enough, it's positioned very badly next to the pigs who unfortunately stink!
Being in a field with the animals roaming was lovely and feeding the animals the kids loved but sadly bad outweighed the good

Amazing time at Daisy Mays Farm! As first time campers we didn't really know what to expect and have nothing to compare it to but we loved every second of being there. Facilities are basic but it's camping! Prices were very reasonable and meat was delicious! Staff were so friendly and look after the animals well 😊I am already planning the next trip with other people coming too! Can't wait to visit again - thank you so much!
