About Abbey Green Farm

This family run campsite is nestled in a quiet and secluded location in picturesque countryside, within a five minute drive of local amenities - and an ideal 'get away from it all' break. There are 12 flat and spacious grass pitches, three of which are non electric and nine of which include 16 amp electric hook ups. The non electric pitches are suitable for small tents only and a maximum of two people, whilst the electric grass pitches allow tents, caravans and campervans and up to four people are permitted. Two ready safari tents are also available, each measuring 4m x 3m and sleeping up to two. They also come with a double bed inside, ready for a comfy night's sleep. Please note, that all other camping equipment is not provided. Up to three dogs are allowed per pitch at an additional cost, just please ensure they remain on the lead and under control at all times. One dog is also welcome in the ready tents. For a little treat whilst you are away, the site offers freshly made cream tea and stone baked pizzas (24 hours notice required). Campfires are not permitted, sorry.

Camping and touring is available from 9th March to 12 October and glamping is available from 29th March to 1st October.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2024

Owners very friendly and welcoming, providing much needed tea and cake after long wet cycling day. Gave access to covered shelter for sorting out gear and cooking on a very wet day - very much appreciated.

Beautifully relaxing

Large Tent - Extra Large Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2024

Absolutely fell in love on arrival. Rose is absolutely lovely and the site is stunning, quiet and beautifully kept. I paid for an extra night on the first day we arrived as I knew I just didn't want to go home too early. The facilities are well kept and practically luxurious and there is an abundance of information available about surrounding sites to visit if you don't already know the area. I will most certainly be returning in the future.
