This is a family friendly site. The whole point of visiting us is to enjoy the natural peace and quiet of the farm and woodland. So, no electronic music or lots of noise after midnight! If this is not respected, you will be asked to leave.
This means that if your idea of fun is drunken rowdy nights then please go somewhere else. There are plenty of camp sites who welcome the partying groups. We do not.
Parents also please be aware of your fellow campers early in the morning and ask your children be be respectful of others’ desire to sleep late!
The wild camping field is about 400M through the woods from the car park. We do provide trolleys to help you get your gear to the field, but remember whatever you bring you will have to carry. The bell tents are located in the woods on the closest side of the camping field and the safari tent is a 3 minute walk from the car park, with The Cabin , Shepherd’s Hut & Wagon shortly after that.
Whilst of course there’s no obligation to buy any of our farm produce, if you want a fire you’ll need to buy wood. We have nets of logs and bags of kindling to buy at the shop. No foraging for wood is allowed. The fallen and dead wood provides vital habitats for all kinds of animals and should be left alone. Glampings options have a starter pack of logs supplied, included in the price.
Your booking is only confirmed once you have received your confirmation email.
A booking of 2 nights is required over weekends, and 3 nights over bank holiday weekends. Glamping is booked in 2 or 3 night weekend breaks and 2 3 or 4 night midweek breaks.
