A note from the site themselves...
We set up Rowbury Farm Camping in 2018 to allow people to connect more with nature. On the farm, we are passionate about protecting the environment and about wildlife. More than 10% of our arable land is dedicated to wildflowers, pollen and nectar margins and winter birdseed plots.
We let our hedges grow big and bushy to provide habitat and food for birds and small mammals. We enjoy talking to people about our environmental work and taking school children round the farm
We are committed to having a low impact on our environment. We encourage recycling and all our waste is sorted at the depot with recyclable items being removed. Our water comes from a private borehole on the farm, which is UV-treated, so is untainted by chemicals.
We love the fact that people come here to chill out, play games, gather round campfires and watch the sun go down. We hope to see you soon, Will
