Beautiful Meadow and great service
Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked Loved the openness of the field and its view - really felt like a 'meadow'. There was also an awesome back gate where you could see the sun come across the farmlands (truly special). Loved to meet Jim and his little doggo - Jim is invested and really cares about his visitors. You always checked up on you and we even had the pleasure to share a coffee with him - loved the stories he shared. Would definitely want to come back, as we have such fond memories there. Thank you Chalk Meadow and thank you Jim!

We all had a great time, the kids want to go back as soon as possible!
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We greatly enjoyed this site, it was our first family camping holiday. There was plenty of space for all, even when the site was full there was still space for the children to run and play. The owner was very attentive and ensured everyone was happy and that facilities were in working order. We will definitely be looking at coming again.
Disliked Nothing, it was exactly as advertised!

Primitive grass campervan campsite
Liked It was the bank holiday weekend but Jim (the owner) made sure everyone had enough space & personally showed you the options of where you could pitch up. He was on site 80% of the time & always happy to have a chat with you or answer any questions you had, about the local area.

Lovely site with clean facilities.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Clean, well stocked facilities. Peaceful, flat field. Owner Jim is very helpful. He visit's the field regularly to make sure everyone is ok. Relaxed check-in and check out times. There is a good pub 10min walk down the road called the Black dog which does great food.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.
