 We visited this campsite for the August Bank Holiday weekend and had a great time. Although the site was busy we had a great spot. There were 3 Tents and a Caravan (8 Adults, 5 children + 1 Dog) in our group and despite booking only a few weeks before we were pleased with the pitches we were given and had ample space without being too close to our neighbours.
The site had a great play area for the Children and lots of room to fly the kite!
The toilet/shower block was basic but fine for what we needed.
The site has a village shop which has everything needed, with helpful staff.
Great value for money, at only £10pn we couldn't go wrong.
A relaxed site in a great location.
We enjoyed it so much we are going back again this weekend in the hope the weather will hold! Fingers crossed!

This site is very cheap, but you get what you pay for. Booking in was a matter of paying and your name was added to a sheet, they would have no idea if you stayed 1,2 or 20 nights. You can then park anywhere except the numbered pitches. We picked a pitch in near the play area so we could watch the children. Good level field but very open and the wind drove across making pitching the tent an adventure!
The play area was very noisy with children on there till nearly midnight.(our choice of pitch though so no complaint really)
The toilet block has a sign saying please mop the floor (with the dirty mop) after showering which most people don't do as it was like a swimming pool in both sexes. Not enough showers really or washing up sinks and the elsan disposal looked questionable! but good hot showers!when you got there!
Chip van was good quality and reasonably priced.
Would visit again but for no longer than a weekend!

We were virgin campers who borrowed a tent. We stayed for the weekend arriving on fri night. We had a good pitch with electric hook up and a tap nearby. Our kids loved the playground and if your kids love skateboarding it is excellent.
The shower and toilet blocks were very clean, and the shop on site stocked all essentials. It was nice to have a fish n chip van arrive saturday night.
Everyone seems very friendly. If you want a nice and clean site with washing up facilities this is a lovely relaxing site with pretty villages all around. We will go back.

We booked this site for a weekend away during August, having been here in previous years.
The new toilet & shower block is a vast improvement on the old facilities, and the site now has washing up facilities. But the weekend we were here they were not kept very clean. I am aware that the weather was awful, and this can have a huge impact on the cleanliness. I noticed the mop and bucket in the ladies did not have any fresh water put in all weekend, the water in it was filthy. But as we left on the Sunday morning they were being cleaned as this could have made a big difference.
This site is very well laid out, very spacious and has a great play area for the children. The shop sells everything with extremely helpful staff.
We will definitely return, and hope that we just caught the facilities on a bad weekend. At £12.50 a night with elec it is great value.

Really liked this site.
The Good: Not too big, so didn't get noisy or messy. Nice toilets and showers. 'Pretty' site, bushes and trees around. Great value, was £62.50 for 5 nights, for 5 of us with a big tent and EHU. Good shop on site, and a playground and half-pipe for the kids. Nice, flat grass.
The Bad: The showers have those press button thingys which needed pressing every 10 seconds, which got a bit annoying when you were lathering up your hair and getting half blinded by suds!
The Ugly: No ugly this time!

We have just recently stayed here for 2 nights and had a great time. A fabulous large site where we chose our own pitch, quite close to the play area for the kids and wish we hadn't chosen to be so close as it did become a little noisy at times, with the occasional swear word shouted by some older kids, who really shouldn't have been in the park area anyway! Nice and quite after 10.30 ish so fine to get to sleep! Good fairly clean facilities all round and a very well stocked shop for the essential food items and bottle of wine! Only bug bear was not a take away to be found within miles but Fish and Chip van on site on Saturdays. Helpful staff too. Would definitely go back. Thanks to all

We have just come back from camping at Top End Farm. We went from Sat 14th Aug to Monday the 16th.
It was my first time camping, so I don't really have anything to compare it too, but this is what I found.
The site is HUGE and the pitch sizes are quite generous.
When we originally booked we were told that they only had non-electrical pitches left, but upon arrival they had had some cancellations, so lucky for us we were able to get 2 pitches right next to each other for my family and my friends.
First off we were given 2 pitches right at the back of the site, which initially we thought was great, only to find the next morning that there was a wasps nest in the bush behind us and after cooking our breakfast we were swamped by them!
My partner went and found the owner and he was really good, let us move to another pitch/es.
Although packing everything up was a bit of a pain.
The bathroom/shower facilities were basic at a push, can't really say they were very clean, but again, this was my first time, so I don't know what porta-cabin shower/toilet blocks are supposed to be like??
There were 3 showers, which wasn't very big, but again, they did (or the one I used) did what I needed to do.
The water was hot (too hot at one point) but rather that than cold!
The on site shop was small, but by god it had EVERYTHING! And the prices were the same as what you'd pay in a supermarket.
They had fresh burgers, sausages, steak and ribs (with bbq sauce) which were to die for! Yum!
{Highly recommend anyone to try them!}
There was a small park for kids with a climbing frame, 2 swings, 2 slides, monkey rails etc and a huge skate board ramp thingy.
Not really much else on site to report about.
My partner went to the nearest Tesco Express, which was about 4 miles away, but the Tom Tom got him lost on the way there/back.

We camped here over Bank Holiday weekend with a group of friends and family.We found the overall atmosphere friendly and relaxed. It was extremely cheap. We were able to choose where to pitch and there was plenty of space for all of our tents to pitch together.
The play area for the children was excellent, well equipped and very visible from all around so the children were safe to go and play, as we could see them from our tents.There were no restrictions on ball games etc., which we liked. The shop was excellent - very comprehensive and well stocked.
We found the toilet and shower facilities inadequate. They were very basic. Our children didn't like using them. The showers ran out of hot water so several of our group had cold showers and the rest didn't bother. The disabled shower was a wet room, and had hot water but the central drain was so gunged up that it barely worked, which meant the whole room flooded and water nearly ran out under the door. I have mobility problems but did manage to attempt to use the mop but this did not help to unblock the drain. There were long queues for the dishwashing facility, which also ran out of hot water.
In the evenings, the site generally was noisy, with lots of groups chatting loudly and playing music. We didn't mind this as we too were part of a large group, but if we had been wanting a peaceful break we wouldn't have been happy.
Overall, we wouldn't return because we want much better toilet and shower facilities and are happy to pay a bit more for these. We also usually go for quieter sites that are a bit more picturesque and have wildlife around to hear and see.

We chose this campsite based on the reviews and photos on this website.
We were not disappointed. Very reasonably priced for us at £12.50 per night with an EHU and near a water tap.
We took our tent and two children over a weekend, Friday and Saturday night and ended up staying another night due to pestering from our 5 year old!
The pitches are beautifully flat but there's not a huge amount of room between you and the next person. We found this out to our cost with some very noisy neighbours who didn't seem bothered about their loud swearing around our two young children.
Aside from this, we loved the campsite. As mentioned in other reviews the playpark kept our children well-occupied and we felt they were safe and we could watch from a distance.
The owners in the shop were very helpful and loaned us an electrical hook up cable. All we had to do was leave a £15 deposit which we ended up using for our extra night. The shop is stocked with all sorts of things plus garden benches, dog food, compost! It was enormous! Only downside with the shop is that it is expensive but then this is to be expected I think.
The shower and toilet blocks were good. Hot water always available and whenever I used the shower the block was empty. It does get busy at the peak times so avoid if possible. Toilets ran out of loo paper on Saturday evening but, it was a VERY busy weekend and I usually carry my own anyway! Washing up area very good with lots of hot water and a freezer for ice packs etc.
By Sunday evening the site was virtually empty and it was bliss! Just few vans and tents.
We visited Bedford during our weekend. There is the ubiquitous Tesco, but we found it handy on this occasion. We went into the town and walked alongside the river and the canal. Very pleasant. On Sunday we found the jewel that is Priory Country Park. It is a must visit. A huge lake teeming with wildlife, visitor centre. Bike hire. There's a marina there as well. You can take a picnic and sit / walk play all day there for free! Had to mention it it's great.
We highly recommend this site and we will be going back later in the year. Great for families with children.

This was an excellent site. We went on a very busy weekend where it seemed every space had a tent in it but the facilities coped well and it was quiet at a reasonable hour. The children's play areas were excellent - although you need to watch out for splinters on the skateramp!
The ladies toilet/shower room had a small leak behind one of the basins which led to the floor constantly being wet and muddy.
The shop was very well stocked (it is the village store, not just for the site) although the 'penny' sweets are rather expensive!
Food from the fish and chip van was delicious - I would advise not leaving it until the last half hour as a queue did build up.
We had an electric pitch in a smaller field off the side of the main field, which was ideal although two small trees had been planted in what seemed to be the ideal location for the tent!
The site managers were friendly and efficient and the cost per night was fantastic!
We will definitely be back.
