Barley Fields Camping Reviews

Best camping

One of the best campsites I have stayed in over 50 years of camping! We liked the space, flat grass sites, no dogs and quiet. A loo/washroom just for women is needed to gain 100% satisfaction. Frank

Very good, thank you

Thank you. Shame I had a large tent with two small children and myself.

Our stay

Good facilities and a nice welcome.

Great campsite

This campsite deserves 5 stars for everything, its perfect truth be told. The owners are lovely and super helpful and made our stay, despite the weather, comfortable. While I would love to see the facilities to expand, it does the job of a campsite so can't ask for much more. Thank you!

Peaceful

Despite windy weather affecting everyone's tents and our awning, we still had a fantastic time. We benefited from tucking ourselves into a corner next to the hedge. It wasn't too busy, which suited us well. A good location to cycle from and explore Holt, Cley etc. Everyone kept to the rules - quiet in the evenings chatting around their fire. It was a great idea to have fire pits and everything provided for a nominal cost for a good blaze. Big skies day and night - lovely. Toilet facilities were a bit limited when it got busier on the bank holiday weekend. Showers were rustic style - really good though. Liked the 'no dogs' for a change! Map of the area on the wall was very useful and all the info. Tried some of the recommended places and had no complaints.

Excellent and peaceful

This campsite is actually very large but numbers are restricted to ensure that the facilities do not become overloaded. This makes for a very pleasant, peaceful and safe stay. Lovely for families. Well off the beaten track. Local pub is walkable. One thing that I would suggest is that the pricing structure is a little odd. It costs the same price per night for a couple in a medium tent as it does for one person in a tiny tent. Seemed a little unfair. The firepits are a bit of fun so long as you are careful.

Good value spot for the area

Basic, good value, shower, water supply, wash up, toilet - all I needed for 2 nights. Staff friendly and helpful.

Decent!

I stayed here for 3 nights with my 8 year old son. We enjoyed our stay.

Excellent non intrusive stay

An excellent non intrusive stay. The main facilities could have been bigger, with more toilets.

Nice field in nice location

The field was lovely and spacious. I appreciated the spacious washing up area and I particularly liked the huge local maps on the wall, very helpful. Just what I'd hoped for.

Would recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were just disappointed that we hadn't booked earlier so we could stay for longer than the two nights. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back again.

Rural campsite, good value for money

Rural location that worked for a two night stay. Facilities ok.

Thanks for leaving a review, Sam. We hope you will visit again sometime soon!

4 nights at a lovely site

My wife and I both loved staying at Barley Fields Camping. It had everything we expected and wanted - a rubbish-free site, peace and quiet away from the nearest road, no antisocial behaviour or loud music, great showers, lots of space between tents, clean toilets, hot water for washing up, friendly people. At 6am we sat and watched a pair of hares on our field!

Superb

This site was really well-run - extremely clean, family friendly, and other campers stuck to the rules so it was calm after 9. Plenty of space for everyone and one field even quieter than the other.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, it is much appreciated.

Our stay

Lovely rural campsite, essential facilities.

Great family camping

Lovely camping with kids.

Lovely all round

Lovely campsite. Easygoing camp owners and great two fields. Loads of tents all shapes and sizes. Everyone so friendly to me as a solo lady camper. Met a great couple who helped me sort my gas stove out. Shower toilet black-lit up all night so easy to see in dark. Overall fab. Nice and quiet for families lots of games of tennis and cricket in the centre of each field. Lovely!!

Thank you for staying and leaving a review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at Barley Fields and found us a friendly bunch! Best wishes.

Camping with the boys

A very enjoyable stay. Definitely recommend to young people wanting a good time. Mates and I had no fuss with anyone and the people were kind.

Great value

Great site. Our sort of place, just turn up and pitch. Spacious showers with clear roof made you feel you were outside

Site's response

Glad you enjoyed the relaxed feel of the site. That's good to hear. We have had lots of lovely comments about the new showers. Best wishes.

Great

We enjoyed our one night stay very much. It was quiet and peaceful and the facilities were spotlessly clean.

Perfect and simple campsite

Brilliant place. Brilliant facilities. Not too far away from the beach, closest is Wells-next-the-Sea / Holkam which are lovely beaches. Not too far from a petrol station and shops. A proper camping experience, couldn't ask for more.

Such a lovely review! Thank you and we hope to welcome you back to Barley Fields for a future stay soon!

Wet and windy camping trip

Great camping as always.

Site's response

Hi Alan, Thank you for staying again and leaving a review. I'm glad you had a good time despite the wet & windy weather!

Really thoughtful touches

Lovely campsite, really thoughtful touches. Huge field, clean facilities and very chilled feel. Great info. Thoughtful touches left for campers.

Thank you for your stay and kind words, it is much appreciated. I am so glad you enjoyed the campsite. Caroline.

Almost perfect

Lovely location. The owners did their best to keep the loos clean but it was a very busy, wet bank holiday weekend and 3 loos simply weren't enough for the number of campers. A second block, so they didn't have to be unisex, would be so much nicer. Also a shame that big group bookings were allowed, as this meant the no music and quiet after 10pm rules that suited us (because we have small children) weren't kept. That said, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the area very much. Dawn chorus was fabulous and no road noises, which is a treat.

Hi Amy, thank you for your review. I'm sorry it was such a wet bank holiday for your stay! Sadly the weather was relentless all weekend but its always nice to hear our efforts to keep everywhere clean were appreciated. The campsite is serviced by 5 loos in total and a separate men's urinal block which is about right for the ratio of campers to a total of 25 pitches. However I am interested to hear your comments with regard to a separate block and this is something that is hopefully in the pipeline for future seasons. It remains our policy that group bookings are not accommodated, so unfortunately, it seems that on this occasion, several individual bookings were grouped together. I am sad to hear about the noise on site, please do inform us if there is a problem as we will endeavour to sort out quickly and discreetly. With best wishes, Caroline.

Great campsite

Great camping, thanks. We will be back!
