Maplefield Farm

A aimé : The 'wild' camping note was an appeal and we felt very much this was the case and enjoyed the flexibility of being able to chose where we were able to pitch the tent, i.e. no restrictions. We pitched to the side of the field in the small wooded area under a large oak tree which provided additional shelter and made a small fire pit; there were no requirements in having to use a fire grate although we had brought provisions in case.
We were the first to arrive and were joined by three others later in the day and evening; plenty of space for everyone and not congested.
The portable toilet was very clean.
The owner did take time to come around and speak to everyone and was available if any queries.

N'a pas aimé: Traffic noise was the only real down side of the location.

A aimé : Perfect location in the middle of a field, really basic but that’s exactly what we like as it felt very much like wild camping! Only one portaloo and no other services but that’s fine for us as we have a camper. Will absolutely be back :)

N'a pas aimé: Quite close to the road so you can hear cars all day but you can’t see it and you have beautiful views across the fields so didn’t bother us!

A aimé : A beautiful location with very pretty wild flowers and horses in the field next door. Lots of space and lovely to hear the birds in the morning and an owl at night.

N'a pas aimé: Might be helpful to have a few areas of shorter grass but wouldn't put me off going again.

A aimé : Good directions from the owner and a large field with plenty of space to spread out. We booked for 1 night near home to just test out a new tent. If you don't know the area the Chilterns are beautiful.
The 2 felds slope up from the entrance but plenty of flat areas at the top. Portaloo was clean and stocked with toilet paper. Lovely to see the horses in the adjoining field.

N'a pas aimé: Although the paddock flowers and long grasses were pretty it really needed a path to be mown down to the portaloo as knee or waist height wet grasses were difficult to walk through, and it would have been better if there were patches mown for tents as we needed to do a bit of stamping down thistles and other larger grasses to get an area to pitch.
Also the top of the site is near to a busy road so there is road noise through the hedge.. Worth noting the site doesn't have a drinking water tap so we had to buy in a lot of water.
