My husband and I absolutely fell in love with this campsite. The location is stunning and the site is lovely. Some might say quite basic but just how we like it. Loos were fine, showers were lovely and hot, the people were friendly and welcoming and the cream tea on Saturday was a real treat. The walk to the top of Whitehorese Hill was steep but rewarding and the views from the top were breathtaking. We'd had some rain in the morning and we were able to watch the weather front move northwards for some miles.
We also did the walk across the fields to the White Horse Pub and then walked on to Uffington to the Fox and Hounds which looks incredibly inviting at night. We ate in both pubs over the weekend, food was great although a little restrictive if you're a non-meat eater like me. Although we didn't have a real fire ourselves we joined some other campers around theirs and it was wonderful to be able to sit around a proper campfire for a change.
We will definitely be coming back.

Good site with the added bonus of being able to have a camp fire with the delivery of wood. The only downside was the fact that the field that we were in hardly had a flat section to it at all. Having said that there were only 6 or 7 other sets of campers at any one time (one of those was a very noisy group but that is not the fault of the owners and when we mentioned it to the log deliverer the next day they spoke to them and we had no trouble that night.)
All in all a nice spot, in a lovely area, with good facilities and helpful staff.

We visited this site 11th - 13th Sept and have to say it's pretty much as described. Take care choosing your field though, some are quite sloped and a bit of a mission from the facilities at the farm house.
The facilities themselves are fairly basic but proved entirely adequate for our needs. Note to Mrs Seymour - The shower hose needs replacing on two of the units as most of the hot water runs off before making it to the shower head. Despite this I managed to refresh myself without waiting at all. Other's have mentioned the portaloo type WC's. Although our field was quite full, they stood upto the use rate without any emitting offending mess or smells.
Overall, the location is perfectly lovely, but we pitched (fairly) close to the road that runs by the farm and this was surprisingly busy at times.
The walks around the site are really nice and the views from Dragon Hill is well worth the effort. We where treated to impromptu Red Kite displays and some truly beautiful sun-sets.
Thankfully, although the site was quite busy, there was no undue noise (other than one particularly squeaky Child) and all was serene by 11.00pm.
It was nice to see the right spirit too: One young Mother on her own with two youngsters was having a proper old time fighting with her tent. I was keeping an eye (not sure how long one should wait before offering help??) When this couple walked over and had her set up in about 10 minutes - Good for you guys!
All in all, a really good place to visit, and a nice warm welcome to boot. Marked down slightly for the noisy road and slightly rustic, but adequate facilities.

Stayed for 1 night in September. It's almost like it's 4 campsites in 1 as there are 4 completely separate fields. Plenty of room in all 4 and was directed to Sheeplands, over the road from the main farm (and also the showers and washing up facilities).
Portaloos don't sound great but they were clean, so that's all that matters isn't it?
Lovely views, lush green grass, easy to get the pegs in and out. Had a lovely fire in the evening, admiring Uffington church lit up in the distance.
On Saturday afternoon, we walked up to the Ridgeway and along to the White Horse, then returned to the farm, who do delicious cream teas at weekends. On Sunday, walked across the fields to the Fox & Hounds pub at Uffington. More like a 30 minute walk if you have children. Food at the pub is outstanding value and very good quality. Sunday roast for £7.95 (kids £4.95) and delicious puddings too. Worth booking in advance if not planning to eat outside.
We'll return to the campsite, because it's near to home, the food at the pub was so good and it was a very relaxing location.

We used this site for a one night 'quick trip' as it was only one hour from us and I am very glad that we did.
The farm is a real working farm (the kids loved the chickens and also watching the harvesters etc and seeing the corn go into the sheds) and it is a lovely quiet place.
A quick walk takes you up onto the ridge (to join the famous 'ridgeway walk') where there is a large white horse cut into the chalk of the hill - returning back to the farm for a cream tea also proved popular (lovely scones).
There is a one mile walk across fields to the village of Uffington which has a pub 'fox and hounds' where the food was remarkably good whilst fairly priced with pleasant staff (and real ale).
There are various camping fields and we were certainly not crowded. Fires are allowed and a man comes round to sell logs for those that need them.
Showers are by the farmhouse as is washing up facilities - all fine and adequate. Plenty of portaloos provided in the fields and these were very clean etc.
It costs £6 per person with £3 for kids over 5, which is not unreasonable.
All in all a very nice location and well run site which I would recommend for a relaxing weekend.

Absolutely beautiful huge sites with lovely views. Masses of space between units and for kids to roam.
Toilets, wash up and showers basic but adequate. Showers and wash up a bit of a stroll but that was not a problem. Facilities were very clean when we got there Friday PM but could have done with a clean up over the weekend.
Very helpful, friendly and efficient service from all staff.
We had scones and coffee from the tea shop which were supreme! The tea shop is basic and limited to cream teas and flap jacks but they have clearly gone for quality over quantity.
We had a great weekend and will definitely be back.
