After various camping trips we asked the kids (8 and 10) what their ideal site would be and they both said one on a farm where they could help collect eggs, feed the animals etc.!

Does anyone know of anywhere like this? We dont have to have EHU as are quite self sufficiant.

Ideally would be good to be within 1 and a half hours drive from leeds as we like to get away weekends although all suggestions would be appreciated!!

thanks in anticipation!

Hi Gill. I would suspect that after the E-Coli fuss recently it would be quite hard to find farms that allow kids anywhere near.

It's a shame but I would think that farmers may consider that the risk (and the probable rise in insurance cover) is not worth it.

I express similar reservations, but on a previous thread someone recommended Wolds Way in Malton.

Here is a link to the thread, hope it works!

If you can get away for longer Midbrooks, steeple ashton, wiltshire will tick all your boxes.. Just look at the reviews, we will do the 4hour drive again purely to stay here.

Only have about 15 pitches max, and the lovely owner Alan takes all the children twice a day to collect eggs, feed molly the pig and hold the rabbits. Not a farm but more in the back garden of a genuinely lovely couples home.
