Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

The tranquility of the site was only matched by the friendliness of the staff and fellow campers. Everyone I met was warm and welcoming, creating a community feel that's often missing in our daily lives. Tomkins Farm is more than just a camping site; it's a retreat that offers a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature, enjoy the serenity of the lake, and be part of a friendly community. Hihly recommended for anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet, and friendly camping experience.

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

Phillip was an excellent host, the campsite was excellent and the facilities clean and accessible. The alpacas and camels entertained the kids and adults alike! We were grateful for the QR codes to order drinks and fire wood plus the coffee/ croissant van at the weekend and pizza oven on Saturday evenings.

Perfect escape

Wonderful place to explore. Interesting farm pets and friendly owner. Woods, lake, fields and rolling countryside. Beautiful. Generous pitch sizes so you don’t feel cramped. Highly recommend.

Bit loud but lovely stay

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

It is a working farm on the Gatwick flight path, we found it tricky sleeping with the planes and sheep competing to be heard, with intermittent snoring from a nearby tent! That said the field is well kept with comfortable spacing between plots. Toilets, showers and washing up facilities all in good order. My little one and I had a great time, lots of space to play and we enjoyed seeing the sheep, alpacas and camels. Coffee van in the morning (with pastries) was a very welcomed service! A recommended site.

A gem of a campsite

What a really lovely campsite! We had such a brilliant time here that we decided to stay an extra night. The facilities were clean and well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night as a family, talking and star gazing! Ordering logs was really simple using the QR code on our pitch. The campsite owner, Philip, was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be back and have been telling our friends and family about the site.

A perfect escape back to nature

Lovely location, plenty of space for our group to play around the tents. Facilities were basic but clean and the washing up area was undercover - handy as it was very wet when we stayed. Helpful, friendly owner who was around on the Friday evening to check everyone was ok and could offer advice. I'd love to return for longer to explore the area more. Thanks.

Lovely

Great little place for our little one's first time camping! Added bonus of seeing llamas, alpacas and camels! Facilities, although basic, are clean and the owners are very helpful.

Good little campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2023

We had a very pleasant stay at Tomkins. The owner was friendly and helpful. We had a pitch near the toilet/shower/washing up block so it felt a bit busy - I imagine the pitches further down the hill were a bit quieter. The quality of the facilities was absolutely fine (I’d seen some bad reviews). Lovely walk to the local pub. The pub itself was nice, the food was fine but not amazing.
