A note from the site themselves...

We welcomed our first guests over ten years ago with just a couple of portaloos and an idea. Fast forward to today, we are happy that Elmwicke is a place where everyone is welcome. Sharing the place we call home, getting to know those who stay and bringing life into our farm is our privilege and we hope to welcome you soon, Jonathan

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2024

Fantastic, clean, relaxing site that I can't recommend enough. Toilets were spotless, more like a hotel than any other campsite, never had to queue as ample facilities, even at busy times. Site itself is really spacious and flat! With lots of room for kids to play away from tents but in full sight. Café was a bonus and location was great. Lovely hosts who work really hard to make it lovely.
