 My sort of campsite! I had a really good 3 nights here despite the rain. It's a real 'camping on the farm' as the tent/van site is only separated from the cows by an electric fence. The facilities are a loo, shower and large washbasin with plenty of space for washbags, etc. The shower works well and all is nice and clean. The campsite was pretty full but I never had to wait for loo or showers.
The pot-washing is a couple of sinks (actually I think there may be 3?) attached to a wall and there's no cover, but the water is nice and hot.
I camped in a small orchard area, which was nice for a small tent and gave some shelter from the elements. A lovely view of cows and buttercups to watch while eating breakfast.
The grass is lush and the field was quite wet so I wished I'd got wellies like everyone else. The field did get some muddy ruts from vehicles.
The owners are very friendly and helpful despite having all their farming jobs to do and are happy to explain what's happening.
I found some excellent cycling maps at Chester Tourist Info, and recommend cycling in the area. You can cycle or walk along the canal towpath to Chester, and there are several off-road options as well as nice country lanes. Ellesmere Boat Museum looks worth a visit, and Port Sunlight has a museum and art gallery (free). You can get a day rover train ticket which includes Liverpool for less than £5. There's so much to do and this is such a nice campsite that I hope I'll be back again sometime.

This is very much a farm with some camping facilities. Situated pretty close to Chester. Either a short walk to the bus stop on the main road (to the number 84) or a 3. 5 walk or bike road down a country lane to the canal which takes you in to the centre.
The toilet and shower block were fine. Clean and warm.
The outside washing facilities did look a little 'knocked up in a hurry' and the water was cold.
The owners were very friendly and gave us some good advice on how to get in to Chester.
So if you're using it as a stop off or to visit surrounding areas then it's perfectly functional.

We stayed here as a base to visit Chester, very friendly owner nice location OK facilities clean although their is only one male and one female shower and toilet. They had some electric hookups
And outdoor pot washing sinks the site is situated off the main route into Chester which is great as it is a very busy road. Overall it is a great peaceful
Site in lovely surroundings.
Very friendly dog to play with, would stop again.

Recently spent 2 nights in the park, a stopover, was a bit apprehensive on arrival as the road into the actual park was very narrow. Had to laugh when we saw the park, that's all it was.
Owners were nice, a case of, park wherever you want. Other campers were nice and friendly, toilets are fine,
But, if your into having a lie in, forget it, I woke up very early with the mooing of the cattle, fright of my life when I opened the blind and was face to face with a cow looking in the window
Good location if your visiting the zoo
I would go back if I' ever down that way again.

Well, cannot praise this working farm highly enough.
Great location, quiet, farm had loads of campers, in my two week stay I only had to queue once for a shower.
Judy the owner is a real gem.
Will be back.

Camped here with my two sons in August 2011 for three nights. Just a tent, so I review this as a Tent camper only - I cannot comment on caravanning here.
Location: The campsite is very handy for Chester and the main roads, and easy enough to access if you use the back gate.
Facilities: Very basic. If you want all the home comforts - forget it! There is more than one toilet now, but still only one male shower, and that flooded. Pot washing facilities are not under cover. Cannot comment on Ladies facilities - we didn't need to use them.
Pitch; Looks like they have extended the pitching
Area, and it was lumpy. Thank god for sleeping mats. However, it was not too packed and the small orchard area was a real pleasure.
Price; Four days for £40? Bargain.
Conclusion: The above makes the site sound bad - far from it. We will definitely stay here again. As a working farm the kids got some real enjoyment from the cattle. One to watch for the future; Just don't expect home comforts!

Nicely located site, close to chester city centre, and handy for the zoo! Just off the road, so no traffic noise to disturb you.
This site is good to use as a base, but nothing there otherwise.
Showers in great need of upgrading and modernising, very slow not very warm either, and only one male shower and one female. There was a portable cabin with plenty of toilets, but could do with more showers and better ones!
Entrance onto the site not that good either, rough through the farmyard.
For the price, not great, but if you want to rough it you'll be fine!

This site was very close to Chester (less than 3 miles) and handy for all main roads. It was far enough from the road so we were not disturbed by traffic.
The site was pricey at £17.5O a night for 4 of us and electrics. Unfortunately there was no soap or hand drier in the toilets and, for most of our stay, no toilet roll either! As there were no hardstandings or road through the site, the weather meant that that the site was closed to vehicles and we had to waddle backwards and forwards across the muddy field (guess who forgot to pack the wellies!)

What a lovely little campsite we thoroughly enjoyed it and the other campers were so friendly and chatty. Only been camping 3 times but this weekend was the best. We will definitely be coming back here next year and we will be bringing the grandchildren. It is close to all amenities like Chester centre Chester zoo Chester races and supermarkets too. I gave the score of site facilities an 8 only because there was only 1 shower and toilet for the ladies and same for the men. We had electric hook up and and we pitched next to each other as there were 4 adults in 2 tents. All and all we will be coming back so that says it all

We used this site to visit Chester Zoo, which is 10 minutes away. The staff are very helpful and there is a friendly dog that enjoys watching people come and go.
The toilet block / alfresco washing up facilities were always clean and there was plenty of hot water.
There are no shops near by so buy everything on your way in if you’re not staying for long like we did.
We didn't venture off the site as we arrived after work and left early for the zoo next day.
This site is ideally suited for Chester town centre and all the other attractions around, did I mention the zoo!
