  • Mata djuren, plocka ägg och promenera längs stigarna
  • Kafé, bageri, butik, pub – alla serverar färska matvaror från gården
Amid the tiny villages, broad fields and winding lanes of Hertfordshire, the friendly site of Church Farm is a place of many opportunities. Move to a different pace with a stay at this lovely 170-acre working farm, where you see farming and wildlife up close… and hopefully have a splendid time while you're doing it. There's usually a charge for visitors to get stuck in to the farm's activities, but camping guests will get free entry, so they can wander the farm trails, hit the woodland play area or join in the daily activities. The pigs, goats, sheep and hens on this mixed eco farm may well come and say hello; the whole family can join in the feeding sessions and kids will most likely love foraging through the undergrowth to find eggs for breakfast (have them with just-baked bread from the farm’s ovens). Or let someone else do breakfast for a change: the team dishes them up all day at the café. In the evenings, build your own campfire and grill bangers bought from the farm shop or head to the village pub for home-cooked and locally sourced food. Camping rotates around several fields throughout the season so that the grass can always be kept at its best. On-site facilities include outdoor gas showers, cold water sinks and chemical and compost toilets. Dogs are welcome (for no extra charge) at this ecological nonprofit farm, which also focuses on providing training and work experience for people with special needs, and are allowed in the farm café, shop, on the site and in the local pub.

Vad våra kunder säger om oss

Välorganiserad lantgårdscamping med rymliga platser i skog eller fält, rena komposttoaletter och varma duschar. Vänlig personal, bra gårdsbutik/café och möjlighet att utforska gården och djuren uppskattas. Vissa nämner flygplansljud eller ljud från andra campare samt kostnad för extratjänster, men helhetsintrycket är mycket positivt, rekommenderas särskilt för familjer.

Från föreståndaren: Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We are really sorry to hear you were so disturbed by planes going overhead, they don’t come all the time but come over us when the wind is coming from the west and normally not too loud as we are 20 miles from Luton, but can be heard if it’s a still day.

We do hope we can welcome you back to the farm.

Tomt för tält utan elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om Visited with my wife, 6-year-old and small dog.
- Great for families especially with young kids due to the included access to the farm
- Open campfires allowed a huge bonus
- Facilities were clean and in working order throughout the stay. Never used compost toilets but they were cleaner than some chemical ones I've used.
- Staff very helpful
- Great pub across the road

Tyckte inte om - On our first night there was a larger group next to us who were a little loud until 11-12.
- No amplified music was annoying, although did notice some campers having it at low volume which I found acceptable. Only one group had it a bit louder than acceptable.
- Not the farm's fault but the farm is in the direct flight path for both Luton and Stansted airport, meaning late at night and early morning you are awoken by the sound of airplanes.

Från föreståndaren: Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the farm. We do ensure all our facilities are cleaned daily.

We are sorry you were disturbed by a larger group, we do have our security number that can be called and they will come and help assist you. We do not allow any amplified music as a quiet campsite, we will review with our security regarding others playing it. We are really sorry to hear you were so disturbed by planes going overhead, they don’t come all the time but come over us when the wind is coming from the west and normally not too loud as we are 20 miles from Luton, but can be heard if it’s a still day.

We do hope we can still welcome you back to the farm.

Excellent camp site and farm a stone's throw from London

Tyckte om What a gem! I don't think the internet listing fully does the place justice. Set in a beautiful old village, you drive / walk straight in to the entrance area with cafe and shop opposite what looks to be a lovely pub. The shop is stocked with local farm produce at reasonable prices alongside some camping essentials and typical shop bits. Very nice cafe too that locals were also frequenting. In this area, there are containers being rented to small businesses and it all has a really wholesome atmosphere - a potter amongst other things.

The staff are super friendly and helpful. You can buy fire kits which I bought outside shop hours from the attendant. As they didn't have one made up, he offered to drive it to my pitch so I arrived back from my dog walk to him pulling up - fantastic service!

Lovely location - easy and quick to get to from London - perfect for a stress free bank holiday break. The campsite is set on a farm as the name suggests. You can wander around the site at any time (when you're camping - you're given a wristband to identify if you're camping / coming for a day visit to the farm etc) so I enjoyed 6am walks with my dog greeting the farm animals as they were let out from their night's sleep. A proper joy with piglets to top it off! Plenty of animals to see, crops to look around (with pick your own which we didn't do) and a woodland play areas for the kids.

You can choose to pitch either in the field areas or woodland. We chose the woodland and found an end-of-the-road pitch which felt very private and intimate for our 4-tent group. Having wire fences around 2 sides meant it felt very safe for the group's two 2-year olds and dog. Perfect location as it was a hot weekend and we experienced dappled sun - very pleasant. Just remember a good mallet as the woodland area (obviously) is pretty hard and root-laden.

The field areas also looked nice. Great for large bookings. We saw areas marked out for these with bunting. Open, spacious and uncrowded with kids running around enjoying the freedom. It is a quiet site so we weren't disturbed by pumping music.

Clean amenities. The toilets are compost toilets and the use of "a scoop of wood shavings" after every visit meant they never smelt. Very hot showers and cold taps for drinking water and washing up. Groups of these amenities are located frequently around the site.

You can tell that we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. We will be visiting again. (My photos aren't the best but hopefully gives an idea of the feel of the place.)

Tyckte om Great space in the forest camping, was away from the larger groups of visitors and was able to sit and watch bats flying around at night.

Farm is an excellent visit, brought animal food and was about to feed the animals as we walked around.

Tyckte inte om Personal dislike of the large groups of campers, quite intimidating especially with dogs on long leashes which ran towards you as you walked past.

Från föreståndaren: Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in the woods.

We are sorry to hear you had an encounter with a larger group. We do have our security numbers which can be called at any time if there are any issues.

We hope we can welcome you back to the farm and put your stay right.

Almost great but they dont quite have it right yet.

Tomt för tält utan elektricitet på gräs

Tyckte om This place has great potential but its doesnt quite get it right.

Tyckte inte om Way too expensive for a non-electric pitch on a farmers field £160 for two adults and 3 children for 2 nights!!!! We were expecting something extrodinary for this - but alas it was just a field with some animals and they tried to charge us for bin bags on our way out when our rubbish was already in bags and £12 per child to collect eggs!!!!! The woodland play area advertised also didnt have woodland (it had been cleared of nature) nor play equiptment which was pretty bleak.

Rekommendera för vänner Besök igen

Från föreståndaren: Hi Philippa, thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear your stay wasn't up to your expectations.

We are constantly reviewing our prices. We are not just a regular campsite as we are a not-for-profit care farm and have people will learning disabilities and difficulties work on the farm. Everything goes back in to supporting them. Included in your camping is entrance to the farm for the duration of your stay which is usually priced between £6.95 - £7.95 per person at the weekend. We have a range of animals onsite, we have cows, pigs, chickens, Alpacas, goats, sheep all in the main field to see and then our Guinea Pig village, Duck pond and Rabbits near the woodland play.

We are a leave no trace campsite which we do advertise, if you want us to dispose of your rubbish it is £3.95 which includes one large yellow bin bag which you could've left at your pitch and then 2 compostable food waste bags which are disposed off in the food waste bins.

The Woodland play is tailored to younger children with ride on tractors, forts, Wendy houses etc. We have our Rabbits in their and a few bug hotels built by Rural Care. There is a park in the Village with swings, slides etc.

The egg collecting prices includes an accompanying adult. Our farmer guides the group to our Walnut Orchard and demonstrate how to handle a chicken and how to collect their eggs. You then have time out in the orchard to feed the hens and are given a bucket of feed to put in the Hens shed and put straw in their nest boxes. At the end you get to go to our Egg Shed and see how we grade the different sizes, you can take a box of 6 eggs home and each child gets a certificate.

We are sorry your experience wasn't not enjoyable and we do hope we can welcome you back to the farm to correct this. All the best,

Lovely site, returned second time. Stayed…

Tyckte om Lovely site, returned second time. Stayed at the woodland part but be aware some of the camp spots are slightly smaller. We got lucky with a bigger one. In busy periods might be left with smaller area but not an issue, still very pleasant. Closest toilets to woodland area is compost toilets but one of the cleanest ones we have been too. Has a sink and soap outdoors to wash hands after toilet which was great

Nikki R.

Tomt för tält utan elektricitet på barkunderlag (skogsområde)

Tyckte om The site itself is beautiful and the woodland wild camping is really well organised and thought out. There’s quite a bit to do onsite - woodland walks, kids activities, veggie gardens, cafe, farm shop, pub across the road with excellent food.

Tyckte inte om The number of emails we got beforehand about the rules and request for the signed agreement. We understand why, but it felt heavy handed. That said, we will be coming back! The place is lovely.

We hope to welcome you back to the farm again :)

Lokala sevärdheter

Take the woodland trails on the site to spot the wildlife of the area, such as kites circling the skies, bats flitting in the trees, and barn owls hooting at night as you're getting toasty by the campfire (look out for badgers too). Off site, head to the Tudor pile of Knebworth Castle (20 minutes’ drive), to roam around the palatial house and grand gardens, have a brontosaurus encounter on the life-sized Dinosaur Trail and top it off by swinging like monkeys in the adventure playground. Or you can all reach for the skies at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (30 minutes), to get up close to Spitfires and Vulcans while wandering through a century of aviation history. Medieval Cambridge (45 minutes) makes a good day trip, where you can punt down the River Cam past the stately colleges, or picnic in the botanic gardens. Open-top tour buses make a sedate way to see the sights, or you can hire bikes (watch out for cobbles). Though part of the university, the Museum of Earth Sciences is geared towards young minds and hands-on experiences, from fossils to earthquakes and dinosaurs to volcanoes. After discovering the secrets of rocks, you could all try climbing: not many hills round here but Clip n Climb Cambridge has 20 indoor challenges for beginners and mountain goats alike.
