The campsite is on our working farm, Home Farm, where we have a Beef herd & chickens-a-plenty. The farm shop sells our beef products ( we also supply Waitrose), fresh farm produce from ourselves and other local farmers. So you really can stay on the farm and eat from the farm - a Colton Beef steak cooked over an open fire on the farm it was bred at - that really is zero food miles! We love to see
campers having a great time round the campfire on an evening, and you can bring your own wood or buy it from the farm shop. Thats how proper camping should be done. The field was previously home to our pony, Champ, who lived to the ripe old age of 37 years old and overlooks the chicken field. It is a heritage field which means it has never been ploughed, and there are a few lumps and bumps - maybe theres treasure underneath! Children love staying at Champs Field as they can run about safely in this enclosed campsite with lovely views across the countryside and our sunsets can be simply beautiful. The campsite is a lovely quiet place where everyone is welcome. The site is ideal for groups and exclusive use bookings are available though we ask for a quiet time from 10pm. We hope we can welcome you here soon. From
