“Do we allow dogs? Can I light a fire? The last place I checked into closed at 8 pm and I couldn’t get in - what is your policy?”


All valid and important questions when you are trying to find a campsite that is the ying to your yang.


Because we all know how painful it is to camp where people don’t get you.


At Hill Farm Caravan and Camping site, we know how we operate and what we offer doesn’t tickle everyone’s fancy. But that’s fine with us!

We love festivals, rallies, family fun and all-around good people vibes.


Dogs are welcome, cats too. We’ve even welcomed a ferret through our gates.


Our policy is “feel free to ask us for anything,” but the answer won’t always be “yes”. 🤪😜
