About the site


The camping areas on this quiet working farm are situated on riverside meadows with direct access to the River Wye. You can also pitch your tent or 4x4 at an elevated area overlooking the river with stunning views for miles. This area is a very short walk up a farm track. There are a total of 42 pitches, suitable for tents and a limited number of small campervans. A maximum of six people are allowed per pitch. Dragonfly Walk is a camping and glamping area with three bell tents and a couple of camping pitches, for adult couples only. Bell tents are each complete with a double bed, bedside tables and views overlooking the river. Luxury bedding can be provided at an extra cost. Large groups are able to hire the Locksters View area for exclusive use. Guests can also hire canoes and paddleboards, with a free launch on the river for campers. You can also go wild swimming too! A full English breakfast is also available at the marque, which is the perfect way to start the day. The site is happy to dispose of recycling as long as it is separated. Sorry, no dogs are allowed here due to livestock.
