My favourite campsite in the whole wide world…read more I really shouldn't be writing this review as I want to keep it a secret.... but Bycross Farm Campsite has been in the Telegraphs top ten UK campsites, so I think the cat is out of the bag now. Oh well. We've camped here four times now and its always been a lovely experience and on our most recent trip we were the only people here, which was nice. We initially found this campsite when we did our first canoe trip down the River Wye, it was on the Wye Valley Canoe Centres list of places to camp on the river route. That is you could land your canoe at these locations and camp up. The overall highlight of this place is its an apple orchard. A magical setting to be honest as the place is surrounded with fabulous bird life. Be warned the dawn chorus in the summer time is mega here, so if you don't want to be woken, bring good ear plugs. Otherwise, lie back and test out your knowledge of birdsong. Another highlight is this camp is it allows camp fires, unlike most other campsites I've stayed at in the UK. The owner treats campers like the adults they are and as a result the positive camping experience is increased ten fold. Before now there was one shower and two toilets, which was just about enough. But one our recent stay I found out that a whole shower & toilet block has been built out the back. And an excellent one it is too. There are also more wash up sinks, I think three more to the existing one that was already there at the existing toilet block. It's a little rough and ready, but that is what makes Bycross in my opinion the nicest place in the world when it comes to camping. No manicured lawns. There are very little notices up telling you what you are not allow to do. In June 2013 it cost 5 GBP per person per night. The hot power showers will cost you 1 GBP per five mins. For me this is excellent value for a fantastic camping experience.

Honestly the best camp site I've EVER been to. Ever…read more The main USP of this place is its privacy. Pitches are hidden away and branch off from bumpy walking paths and are surrounded by woodland. The pitches are so far apart from each other that you'll often forget you have neighbours. An awesome option which I tried for the first time here, as we were only staying for one night, are the pre-erected tents. It felt like a bit of a cop out but was an absolute godsend. When we arrived, we were shown to the load/unload point nearest to our spot. Depending on where you're located on the site, you then use their huge wheelbarrows to lug your gear to your spot which could be anywhere from a 1-6 minute walk-ish. Most, if not all of the pitches come with a handmade canopy area and some kind of hand crafted seating arrangement / bench area which can vary in quality dependant on what you've paid. The pre-erected tent that we paid for came with EVERYTHING. A washing up area with water butt, bowl, washing up liquid, tea towels; a kitchenette type arrangement with gas, cooker (2 hobs), kettle, and a big cupboard which contained all your kitchen utensils and cutlery etc. Oh, and a coolbox too! Although it was a bit knackered due to squirrels trying to break and enter... We also had a real charming dining area with a big table and benches which where made by the owner's son. SO impressed. Additionally as part of this package we got a fire pit/grill thing so we obviously had a BBQ for dinner and breakfast. Fuel is available to buy from the reception for a decent price. Everything here is GREEN - they really pride themselves on being environmentally friendly. They're big on recycling and enthusiastic about respecting your surroundings. Some of their rules can be a bit confusing, mainly if you've had a few beers before visiting the bathroom... There are two toilets in a cubicle. One for 1s and another for 2s! Also no flush, just a jug, and some sawdust. Totally fine though. On site there's a little cafe which is only open at certain times, I didn't get chance to visit but seemed lovely. There's a communal washing up point for the visitors who don't have their own, and a freezer for you to help yourself to ice packs for your cooler - they've really thought of everything to make your stay as easy as possible! The owners are great, too. Dead interesting characters and so friendly and helpful. And they own goats, dogs, and chickens! Think they might be my idols. Living the dream.

They're all so happy and helpful and loved us! 3 even said they didn't want us to leave! The staff at the accommodation/reception, are awful, rude and vile. Discriminating against disabled/trans people for some unknown reason! And making up lies about us. Fully grown adults lying, smirking and making snide comments about us while we're staying with them.We hired two wheelchairs and one of them was broken. Staff at the park promptly changed it for us. It did keep breaking, sadly.The accommodation was nice and somewhat clean. One of the kitchen cupboards was full of sticky stuff, there were moths and spiders everywhere, cob webs behind all of the bed headboards (we only found this because a spider ran down behind there and we had to shine our torches down to find it and seen all the cob webs behind the headboard) and cob webs all over the ceilings, stained carpets, dirty windows, including hand prints. The accommodation was immaculate last year.We stay in the same one every year and were surprised to find toilets and a TV this year! (We called to book). That was a lovely surprise, as struggling all the way to the toilets, was a nightmare before, with being disabled. Although, the "paths" weren't equipped for wheelchairs at all. They're full of gravel/stones, which makes it impossible to use wheelchairs on it and there's no other hire options for disabled people. I.e electric wheelchair/mobility scooter, etc.The evening entertainment was brilliant! As always! Mostly the same as last year, but was great! We love joining in, in all the entertainment at The Adventure Zone. Although, the play area closes way too early, as the children are bored, while the adults are playing Bingo, etc. it should be open until The Adventure Zone closes, as the children don't have anything to do after 8pm, except the arcades, which are NOT cashless and you can NOT use the Crealy cards, as advised by staff. We were told we could use them "anywhere" then later found out there were many places, you could not use them. Look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you're cashless. Every time we wanted to use money, at the cashless places, we had to queue up in a massive queue outside of the park, to top up! If we wanted cash, for the "CASHLESS" places, which were NOT cashless, we had to top a card up, then get a full refund from the card and put the remainder on a new card. It was a whole nightmare! Not to mention the queues. To be told "they can be used anywhere" when they cannot, is ridiculous! You need to elaborate! Again, look up the definition of cashless, before claiming you've gone cashless. We didn't find out until the end of the holiday, that there was another place we could top the cards up - Reception. There were still queues, but nobody told us any information whatsoever about all of this, until the end.Not everything's made for everyone, sadly.. the Hideaways, for example. They're not wheelchair accessible. Stones covering all the paths and roads.. it's a nightmare for walking on, let alone wheelchairs. However, the park is built perfectly for wheelchairs and electric chairs.We hired bedding for £50, which says it includes towels and We received one Hand towel (6 of us).. we do this every year and last year, we all had a towel each, plus hand towels and others! Everyone else had towels, but us.We were forced to purchase toilet roll, as, apparently, it's not provided in the Hideaways, yet, even in the tents, you get toilet roll in the toilets. We had one the first day and none after that. The one we had, ran out after a couple of hours. We asked for some at Reception and was told "do they not have any in the shop?".. we said "no, we've just been and asked and we were told they don't sell it". So, even the shop, doesn't have what we require!! One lovely member of staff, went out to her car to get some for us, so that was lovely of her to do! (My son was on the toilet at the time)The Fish and Chip shop in The Adventure Zone.. closes at 3:00-3:30 and doesn't open again! It used to open for people staying, as well as those who come for the day, but apparently, we're now forgotten about. We needed to get tea, for the children and the only options we had, were the expensive options. "Plenty of places to eat" they say, yet, half of the places are closed! The Waffle Shack wasn't open once when we were there. 8 whole days.Not enough outside chairs at the accommodation, considering it's a 6 person accommodation. There was one small table and four chairs, so we couldn't eat together outside Comfort is a pain, as there's nowhere comfortable to sit, yet, in the cheaper one (Safari) you get a sofa! Even the beds were awful! We woke up in pain, from them, every single morning! You can feel the springs in the mattresses. review too long.

Plenty of picnic areas, indoors and out - that's important if you're taking a few kids. The food is a tad pricey - like all amusement parks. Entrance fees are steep for just one day - but for a whole day and taking your own food and drink it works out ok. Best deal is the yearly pass. I really like the safety. I just go and chill for a few hours, read or computer, drink coffee, people watch... and the kids rocket around with plenty of staff to check their safety.

The store stocks a good range of camping and outdoor equipment and whilst I dont go camping very often I do like to buy the childrens outdoor coats here. The quality of their products is good and hard wearing and I have never had reason to complain. Childrens coats can range from £15 to £30 however I feel this is worth paying for. Most of their items seem to be priced a little above average but I guess that you get what you pay for. Staff are always helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.

The roof top bar has reasonably priced food, basic entertainment and beautiful views out to sea. While we we there they used the large playing field to put an absolutely massive bouncy castle in. They also have a few security guards wandering around who are courteous which is a nice peace of mind. Only very slight negatives here are that the pitches are relatively closely packed together so if you have small kids and have a noisy pitch next door or vice versa it may be a challenge. However, it's really a lovely site in a lovely location and that shouldn't put you off. Some reviews mention the proximity of the cliffs but they are at the end of a long walk and a beach so unless you aren't watching your children for ages is not a problem at all. Take your fishing rods as the beach is great for Mackerel fishing so good to spend some time fishing with the kids. People were catching loads without effort.
