I was wondering if anyone knew of any good working farm campsites that offer a full hands-on experience. I can find lots of campsites on farms, but I want the chance for my kids to be able to collect the eggs, feed the animals and basically get really involved. Any recommendations would be welcome.

Hi ,

One we like the look of , but we have'nt camped there as yet , is called Holme open farm at Sedburgh in Cumbria

See here .... http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=5299

There website , which can be reached via the review pages mentions farm tours , where you can felp feed the animals etc ,also sheepdog demonstations, shearing demonstrations ,evening badger watching , nature trails etc .

Sounds great and just the kind of thing our young 'un would love .

Fair old drive from your location , but may be worth a look

I stress , we have not visited as yet , so can't really comment on it's facilities etc , but the site is defenitely on our " to visit in 2009 " list

Hope you find what your looking for .

Hi Dave and Angela,

Thanks for that - shounds perfect and I will definitely look into it.  Don't mind the travel as we're looking to go away for a week or more, so it's not too bad.

Thanks again. Vickie

Manor Farm in Devon. The farmer is great with little kids, my daughter loved it there. Just don't take teenagers, they seemed to be quite unwelcome.
