Excellent, what more can I say, friendly staff, brilliant fishing, booked for one week then stayed for two.
We would thoroughly recommend it.
Washing facilities were top of the range which was really useful when you have three boys fishing daily. Tracey Mac

This is hard review to write as the site was so lovely, but we had the weekend ruined by noisy neighbours (it was Bank Holiday)

There are two camping area's - one for anglers round the lake (unserviced) and one for others (serviced). The pitches were very spacious, the loo's and showers lovely and clean. The washing up area and laundry were also first class.

There is a childrens play area in the centre with swings and a slide. One slight moan here, they did allow ball games which potentially could have caused a problem (they were even playing cricket at one point - hard balls and tents - not a good mix) Although having said that we had no problems.

The owners are really helpful and promised to have a word with our neighbours as soon as we made a complaint.

The ponds were very pretty to look at and probably good for fishing. The whole site is immaculate.

A little expensive (£40.50 for 3 nights) but would be well worth it at a quieter time. We will be going back for sure - just not at Bank Holidays!

Beautiful location. Large pitches not crowded at all. Facilities immaculately kept, lots of hot water for power showers (what luxury) and indoor washing up. There is also a campers fridge freezer in the washing up area.

A little play area in the middle of the camping field keeps small children entertained. Lovely local pub and plenty of walks around site.

Would definitely visit again.

Absolutley great, didn't want to tell too many people because it would be awful if the site got spoilt by becoming overcrowded and too comercial. Having said that it's unfair not to pass on good advertising. All of what has been said is true. Our family (two adults, two children, ages 2 and 4) went for a weekend in July and I took the children again in August with 4 mums from Nursery and their children. On both occasions we had a superb time and hope to get back before the end of this years camoping season.

Have just spent 5 days at this site and only picked it because of the good reviews already.
We were not disappointed, good size pitches, nicely lit at night, best toilet and shower facilities that we have ever come across and a nice peaceful site...until the weekend when the masses arrived and the site filled up.
You can imagine how pleased we were when a nice considerate chap decided to start up his two quad bikes at 8.00 on Sunday morning and then continue rev them up for around 15 minutes without actually going anywhere.
I'm not sure I would agree with a previous comment 'it feels so safe here'
The is no security to speak of and anyone can just drive straight on to the camping field from the road and they frequently did. Some people were coming in at dusk and disappearing early morning without even paying. This made us feel a little uneasy about leaving the tent and equipment. I had to return home one night and left at 2.00am to return to the site at 5.00am without any access problems.
On the other hand, one day when we did leave the site and rain threatened, one of the site operatives went round and put our chairs and things into our tent so that they did not get wet, which was a nice touch. Also, the people doing night fishing in the next field were no problem whatsoever.
I should point out that throughout our stay, the owners were away themselves.
Would we go back there? Yes we would but it would be nice to see something done about restricting access to the camping field at night and please ban the quad bikes!!!

We had only booked into this site for one night as a stop over. we found the new camping field very well marked with large pitches. The new toilet block was purpose built and very clean. The play equipment in the field was a godsend trying to pitch up with a two year old.
We would definately recommend this site and return ourselves.

Nice quiet campsite with great area for fishing. When we were there, a lot of people were out and about fishing on the ponds.

Toilets were excellent and well kept, and there was sufficient space between all the sites.

Late arrival was not a problem as the owners use cones with your name on if you've pre-booked to denote your site!! Pretty handy, considering we were arriving late on a Friday from London!

There is a large Sainsbury's nearby at Horsham and a pub literally round the corner.

This campsite has everything. Carp fishing for the serious and novice angler on two lakes. This site has a little of everything. It is a working beef farm. Simon and Becky, the owners made us feel so welcome that we will definately return. Everything here is done to perfection. There is a large camping field with hard standing for caravans and plenty of space for tent with electric hook ups. The toilet block has to be seen to be believed; power showers, cubicles and underfloor heating. There is a laundry room and superb washing up facilities.
Set in over 100 acres of beautiful countryside and woodland there is plenty for all to do. Overlooking the main lake there is a chalet which offers hot snacks and drinks. Even fresh laid farm eggs can be purchased. Barns Green is a lovely village shop, post office and pub 100 metres away. There was so much to see we only left the site for provisions!!!! Thank you for creating such a small piece of heaven. Everyone in our family happy. A great feeling of peace, tranquility and it feels so safe here. Highly recommended.

This is the jewel in the crown of camp site. The most beautiful site we have ever visited. Simon and Becky are lovely and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble. The toilet blocks are magnificent with underfloor heating. The pitches are large and surrounded by the most breathtaking woodland. Heaps of great walks, amazing beauty. Great carp fishing (and tiddlers for the kids). Serious anglers will love it. Local well stocked shop, local pub. The farm produces fresh eggs for breakfast. There is a small play park for the kids. The site feels incredibly safe. We will return time and time again. Look at the site, visit the site and thank Simon and Becky for creating such a peaceful haven of tranquility. RECOMMENDED WITHOUT HESITATION
