The campsite at Fairthorne manor is amazing. Ourfamily camped with friends. The facilities were cleaned regularly and there was always lots of hot water for showers. The main field is fringed with woodland on two sides and there are some great climbing trees and places for kids to make dens The kids loved the pirate adventure playground and they have SUPs and Canoes to hire on site. During our trip we paddled to the end of a creek that dried out. The campsite and operations teams sprang into action to get us all back safely and were incredibly helpful and good natured. I highly recommend this site

I booked an evening of activities and a night of camping for my friends stag do. Gemma, the sales manager was excellent at helping me figure out which activities would work well for the group and made arranging everything a breeze. When it came to the activities Henry our activity leader went above and beyond. Everybody had an amazing time and it made for a fantastically memorable stag do!

Went to the young carers festival in 22, 23 and this year and it's amazing, the campsite is nice and I do enjoy coming here, to be honest I wanna volunteer every year when I get my driving licence to help with the young carers festival as I've had a lot of fun going to it.

We attended the Family Halloween Day today and had the best time. Our girls, aged 11 & 13 loved carving pumpkins, the games and Zip Lining in the rain! The spooky trail was great fun too, lots of crashing through the muddiest of puddles. Warmed up in the cafe with coffee and chips. All the staff were excellent and very personable and made our day great. We're looking forward to coming back to another event soon.
