We had a pretty much perfect 24 hours away! Thank you for providing such a haven. Loved the pizza oven, the amazing mud kitchen and the "explorers kit" with minibeast identification. We'll certainly be back.

We had a wonderful time camping here, lots of thoughtful touches everywhere. The kitchen is so well equipped, the pizza oven, games and bikes are provided, the mud kitchen and communal tipi, the toilets are beautifully made, and most of all the ingenious shower! The meadow is tranquil with generous pitches mowed into the long grass, plenty of space for privacy between pitches too.

Wonderful experience staying here. Delightful campsite, very quiet with few pitches well spaced. Family orientated. Very Eco, do not expect hot water on tap till you've heated it by wood in the stove! Owners are also a breath of fresh air after experiences at more commercial sites. Will definitely stay again if I can.

What a wonderful place this is. - I didn't want to leave!
Everything is beautiful, you can feel the love and care that has gone into the facilities and the meadow. Watching the sun go down with the wind swishing the long grass, while bees and owls and butterflies enjoy the space with you, was just so unbelievably relaxing. Little campfire on the go with a book, what more could you want?
The pitches are a great size and a good distance away from eachother. The wheelbarrows were brilliant! Very big and very easy to manouver. The facilities were always clean and well kept. Despite the very hot weather, the toilets were never smelly! I enjoyed the woodburning shower heaters, and having little chats in the kitchen area with other campers while washing dishes.
This is my new favourite by a MILE and I cannot wait to come back.
Thankyou for the loveliest mini break!

From the moment we booked to stay at Ling’s Meadow, it was delightful. From clear and helpful communication of what to expect, to being greeted by the friendly alpacas on arrival, I’m so glad we booked for their last weekend of the season. This was one of the cleanest; most well stocked and maintained campsite we have stayed at. Fire pits, bikes, games and a wood fired oven were all provided and the hot showers topped it all off. I couldn’t recommend this more.

Fox Camp - double
I was highly impressed with this welcoming site. There has clearly been a lot of love gone into every aspect of the experience and it shows. The plots are well maintained, and the facilities are excellent.
Highly recommended.

Meadow pitch
Right in the middle of farmland, with llamas and sheep to appeal to the kids, this campsite is the perfect eco retreat from the fast lane. Set in a very large field, and yet with only 9 or 10 pitches, it is remarkably well thought through, with large tepee communal tent for rainy days, a great well-equipped shared kitchen for those not wishing to lug their own kit, very stylish hot shower and drop-loos, all powered by solar and natural means. Off grid, but definitely stylish camping!

A wonderful fully eco camp site , we loved the communal kitchen and large tipi , great when you only have a small tent !

spent a lovely week here, here's why...
1. it's far enough from main roads that it's wonderfully quiet
2. it's big enough that you're not too close to anyone (pitches are individually set out and separately bookable if booked direct) but open enough that you still feel you have friendly neighbours to wave to in the morning
3. there's a great little set-up with a communal kitchen, mini iceblock freezer, pizza oven, swapshop and solar powered charging point + marshmallows and firewood for sale
4. there's a mini teepee, mud kitchen and games for adults/kids alike
5. there's an amazing HUGE communal teepee - ideal if the weather's crap and you're feeling claustrophobic in your tent (we had sun all week but still chilled there sometimes)
6. the woodburning shower (hot twice a day), urinal and loos (those composting drop ones) were beautifully done and didn't smell!
7. the owners were genuinely lovely, friendly and helpful yet wholly unobtrusive
8. they have alpacas!
ONLY downsides might be the lack of campsite shop proper (though Spar is less than 2 mins drive) and you can't park at your tent (i like that, my wife less so).
we camp 3-4 times a year and VERY rarely return to a campsite. but this will now definitely be a regular fixture in our calendar, especially as they're apparently upgrading the shower next year and the meadow will look far more mature and beautiful (unfortunately they'd mowed just before the drought!).
only request: climbing frame, swing and slide for kids?

I was inadvertently charged twice for the pitch. No problem as I was immediately contacted by the owner and reimbursed on arrival. So why am I mentioning it? Simply because it would have been worth double what I paid. This couple have truly nailed it for this site. It's lovely and quiet, has incredible amenities, every little detail is considered. The compost toilets are the best I've encountered, each pitch has its own picnic bench and firepit. It truly is a remarkable place. I'll be back.

This place is a little gem. Everything has been organised thoughtfully. The toilets are immaculate and the kitchen area is so clean and actually a nice place to do your washing up. We didn’t have great weather but were able to make use of the large communal tent to eat our pizzas that we had cooked in the pizza oven. It’s, quiet and relaxed and loads of space between pitches. There is a central space for the kids to play in and we were able to sit back and watch them from out tent. It’s all very idyllic, would like to return when the sun is out.

Enjoyed a 3 night stay. Very well organised during the pandemic with each pitch having its own seating area, fire, washing up equipment etc. The shared kitchen and seating area were great. It was blisteringly hot when we stayed (34 degrees) so we were glad we had taken our own gazebo for some respite from the heat as the meadow does not have much shade.... but on the flipside, it is lovely and open and you can see your children playing wherever they are!

Absolutely lovely stay here. Beautiful remote campsite, so much space to pitch our tent. Amazing facilities (Toilet, shower, wash-up) - probably the best camping ones I’ve been too. They’ve thought of everything, and are following the current guidelines very well. Especially loved the picnic tables and fire pit on each pit.

We love this campsite. It was spacious, well set out and the owners are really helpful.
Composting toilets and limited hot water are not for everyone, but it's eco friendly, with fire pits, recycling facilities, a pizza oven, mud kitchen for children......... And much more. We plan to come back with many relatives and can't wait

We hired Ling's Meadow as an exclusive site for a birthday celebration last year and had such a wonderful time that we immediately rebooked and went this year too and we are now planning for 2020!
The site is so special. It's very peaceful and feels so far removed from anywhere else. It's a small site and the pitches are well spaced from each other.
The camp kitchen is amazing and we made some great pizzas in the pizza oven (assisted by Neel). The kitchen area (which is new this year) is perfect when you are there as a group or have exclusive hire of the site. The shaded seating area is a great place to enjoy your meals (in the shade, if you happen to catch the great weather like we did).
All the facilities are beautifully designed and well maintained. I particularly like the environmental focus that Kath & Neel have, so the facilities are comfortable and sustainable.
The glamping accommodations are lovely, especially the glorious stardome, and they are well equipped for those who want to experience the camping lifestyle without buying the whole caboodle.
We can't wait to return again to this glorious campsite. I would definitely recommend it if you love eco-camping, quiet, relaxation and lots of nature!

I arrived by bicycle and stayed in my tiny tent. It was a mainly wet weekend so having dry, spacious communal areas really made my stay comfortable and provided a focal point for meeting other campers.
I was able to store my bike in the dry, the camp kitchen was really well equipped and all the communal areas were kept clean and well stocked throughout the day.
The pitches are well spaced so you also have some peace and privacy and the facilities are not overused.
Overall rather than simply being rented a pitch, I felt like I was being hosted by people who really care about what they are doing.
I'm looking forward to another visit.

We hired Sloe bell tent for our first foray into camping with a baby, and it was a hugely positive experience thanks to the thought that Kath clearly puts into making sure guests are as comfortable as possible, all while being as eco-friendly as possible. That means you get to enjoy "doing your bit", and learn lots, with none of the hard work. The location is great, with walks to pubs, shops etc. following the comprehensive local information provided. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had the most magical time at Lings Meadow this last weekend of their camping season. The site far exceeded any expectations and I loved every single thing about it...from the cosy accommodation to the generous camping supplies...the home-laid eggs...the semolina to dust the pizza shovel.....the fresh flowers and flannels in the loos.....The attention to detail is extraordinary and it seemed nothing would be too much trouble for the kind and welcoming hosts...we are only sorry we have to wait until 2019 to return...😜

We loved this place! So much of it was a delight to discover. The setting is wonderful, and what they have done with the meadow is stunning. There were so many thoughtful touches which made our stay extra enjoyable - communal tent with sheltered benches, crockery and cutlery to use, bikes to borrow, firewood and marshmallows to buy - what's not to like?!? Such friendly hosts and quirky extras like Alpacas to feed - our kids loved it, we loved it. We can't wait to return!

Wow, what a delight this wonderful, small and friendly campsite is.
The kids loved the whole place and the little paths cut in the meadow that they could run and have fun in. We didn’t need to go anywhere as it was so lovely and gave the kids such freedom to be there.
The facilities are just brilliant and I cannot get over how much attention to detail there is. I loved the loo’s and even took pictures to show to friends (that’s how great they were!)
We spent a magical 4 days here and will definitely be back. Neel and Kath were so warm and lovely.
Thank you both, we will definitely be back!

Kath and Neel are fantastic hoasts to this most idyllic of settings. We stayed in the stardome with our 2 daughters, one of which is a little spirited and still learning her boundaries. However we felt safe on this site to allow her to be free and enjoy the beautiful, well equipped campsite. A purely joyful 4 days. Thank you!

We had the most awesome stay at Ling's Meadow. As newbie campers it far exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely greeting from Kath, the Bell tent was gorgeous and spacious, and the facilities were luxurious compared to our impression of camping ones. The set up is so well thought out from the kitchen area to the 'football pitch'. Thank you so much, we can't wait to come back!!

We arrived on bikes bringing only a tent, our small boy in a trailer, sleeping stuff and a few essentials and everything else we needed was there. The camp kitchen is fun and well equipped and the composting loos enlighttening in several ways. We walked to a local pub for dinner and ate a feast from one of the preordered breakfast packs. Kate and Neel were so welcoming and provided so much so our stay was really comfortable. We enjoyed feeding the alpacas and chickens and hearing all about them.
The large, but small in number, pitches meant sitting around the borrowed fire pit surrounded by tall wavy grass and lots of wildlife.
We loved the place so much that after cycling home we booked our next, longer, stay. Next time we plan to make use of the communal fire and den building kits.

We had the best time camping at Ling's Meadow.
The space was amazing - we felt as though we had our own privacy even in such an open area, as everything and everyone was so thoughtfully placed.
Even though we brought our own tent, we made our own "glamping" fun - our tent complete with air beds, duvets and fairy lights! And the provision of a fire pit just added to the magic. Toasted marshmallows and sleepy evenings warmed by the flames. Joy.
We had a couple of blustery nights to begin with, so the kitchen marquee was perfect to hide out in at supper time! Fully fitted out with utensils, clean work surfaces, space to cook, lovely lights and picnic tables, and most importantly sheltered from the weather!
We were also amazed by how beautifully kept everything was, especially the loos and shower, which I generally dread in shared living environments, but at Ling's these were immaculate, and smell free - honestly! I wouldn't have believed composting toilets could possibly be free of stink, but these ones were gorgeous - fresh flowers and everything!
Shower was generally lovely and warm - more so on the sunnier days, as the water is partially solar heated and partially stove heated.
Ling's and the surrounding area is lovely to explore, but there's also great transport links to get a bit further out - we managed Cambridge, Norwich, Holkham Beach, and more.
Kath and Neel were just the loveliest hosts, and were there if we needed them, whilst giving us space. They also had a lovely selection of eggs freshly laid by their chickens, and access to various treats from the nearby farm shop. Very tasty.
Overall a really welcome break and a beautiful place. We will definitely visit again!
Thank you!

Our daughter arranged to hire the whole site last weekend for her husband's birthday. As grandparents, we were assigned the Shepherd's Hut, known as The Ranny, rather than a tent (from what we saw we would have been equally comfortable in either). Well, it was such a lovely experience! The Ranny is very compact and cosy with everything we needed. Cath and Neil could not have been more friendly and helpful. All in all we spent a happy and restful few days, hanging out with family and recharging our batteries. The birthday party was good too!

Spent a relaxing and peaceful few days at Ling's Meadow last week. It's a beautiful part of the country, surrounded by open space and countryside, just outside a small village. Kath was on hand to help point everything out, and all the facilities were great - well looked after, and with lots of helpful hints about how to get the best out of things ( including the composting toilets!). It was a fab location to head off rom and explore the local area on my bike - which I could then lock safely away in the bike shed at the end of the day - very useful. Being buried away on your own pitch "hidden" by the grass was like something out of a novel, and following the "path" mown in the grass to get to your tent takes you back to childhood...made me smile every time :-) No hesitation in recommending it to anyone who wants a beautiful, tranquil, peaceful and idyllic getaway.
