Camping at Tomkins Farm Reviews

Great, rural location

Great rural location which is ideal for camping. Big pitches. Basic facilities but ideal if you aren't expecting luxury. Made to feel welcome and near to very good pub (5 Bells). Likely to go again

Thank you for your kind review. I look forward to welcoming you back one day? Philip

Quiet back to basics camping

A quiet site with generous sized pitches by a beautiful lake. We enjoyed sitting by the campfire and watching the stars. The children loved being wild in the woodland area and swinging on the rope swings. Facilities were basic but everything you needed.

What an amazing place

I cannot put into words how great our experience was at Tomkins Farm. I stayed with a group of friends for just one night. Unfortunately, my car broke down on the camp site and the owner was incredibly nice and considerate about the whole thing. They made sure we didn't worry about it by letting us stay past the sign out time. The site itself is beautiful and the animals added a great touch to it. A main worry of mine was what the smell would be like, but the animals are kept a good distance away so that isn't an issue. Toilets were immaculate and the owner made sure to check on us frequently, but not persistently, to make sure everything was okay. I cannot recommend this place more, when I get my car fixed I will for sure be coming back.

A pleasant site

A pleasant site with a very visible and helpful owner. The pop up bar on Saturday night and the breakfast vans over the week-end were a pleasant surprise. Overall it was an enjoyable stay and I would certainly use the site again.

Refreshing stay

Lovely site with an attentive host. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Overnight stay

We had a very peaceful overnight stay at Tomkins farm. The facilities were basic, but clean and tidy. The only criticism would be not providing any type of rubbish/recycling bins for campers to use. Log burners were supplied, but unfortunately due to the wet weather we didn't use ours. Large pitches and you can pitch where you like which was good. We walked to the local pub for dinner (the 5 Bells) which was very nice and only took 15 mins, (take a torch if it's going to be dark on your return, as no street lighting) We will definitely be back for another visit! The only criticism would be not providing any type of rubbish/recycling bins for campers to use .

Camel camping

Simple back to basics camping. Great stargazing when the sky’s clear given the proximity to London, etc. Nice, easy walks to local village or pubs. Also has popup food trucks and pub at peak times. The host Philip is amazing, very welcoming and always happy for a chat during his evening log delivery. Plus there’s alpacas, llamas and camels!

Idylic rural hideaway

We had an excellent one night stay at Tomkins. The site was nicely spaced out with fire pits for all. Hot water showers and clean toilets. The location and setting cannot be faulted. Most importantly, Phillip was an excellent host and was a pleasure to chat to. Couldn't have asked for more. We will return!

So peaceful

This was our second time staying here and was just as lovely as we remembered from last year! The man who runs it was very helpful and pointed us in the direction of a place called Barcombe Mill, where we went paddle boarding. The facilities have even been upgraded since we last stayed and is way more spacious and you don't have to worry about your clothes getting wet in the shower anymore! They even have proper loos now! Thank you, we will definitely be back!!
