Town Farm Campsite

4.7 (223 reviews)

Our working farm has been run by the Leach family since the 1930s. We opened a small campsite in Spring '09. Each year since we’ve made small improvements but we’re careful to hold onto our roots as a rural, non-commercial, family campsite! We pride ourselves on our friendly staff, pristine facilities and breath-taking surroundings.

We're situated nearby to the Grand Union Canal with the towpath and boat trips available.

There is a wealth of attractions nearby to entertain in wet and dry weather:

>Whipsnade Safari Park - 10 min drive.

>The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead.

>Harry Potter World is 40 mins drive or train.

>London Euston by train in 45 mins (From Tring Station).

The views were amazing and facilities very clean. Pop up caterers and bar was a nice touch.

The views were amazing and facilities very clean. It was a bit of a long walk to the facilities that would be my only complaint. But next time we will make sure we pitch up closer to this. I think it would be beneficial if there was a designated enclosed dog walk area where you could let your dogs off for a run, as I am not able to walk far and this would be great for disabled people. Pop up catering and bar was a nice touch. The staff were also very friendly. Lots of things to do in the area. All in all a great stay and we will definitely be back.

I stayed at Town Farm Campsite with my two sons and we had a lovely time. The views were stunning, with plenty of open space for the kids to run around and explore. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was peaceful and family-friendly. It’s a great spot for a relaxing countryside escape, we’ll definitely be coming back!

I was with a DofE group, I appreciate you will not be hosting these groups in future which is a huge shame. AS a youth group we have never had large groups and have been assiduous in abiding by the campsite rules but I appreciate others haven't. :(

Couple & dogs go walking out of season

Dalton, Abi - 14/10/2024

Would come back again if we wanted to do more walking in Chilterns.Middle agers stayed in own vehicle with roof tent and awning & 2 dogs. Grass pitch not at all muddy despite heavy rain.Fairly sheltered from most wind even though on a hill.But is was wet and windy so not able to spend much evening time outside.Facilities clean. Good walking access to Ivinghoe village with decent pub and food, library and shop.Not far from Grand Union canal.Easy access to Chiltern Hills, Ashfield Estate and the Beacon - many days could be spent just walking there.Roads far to busy for any pleasant cycling - beware.Was quite and not many people around - just how we like it.Imagine it is very busy peak season when the shop etc is open.Also on site with numerous cottages and accommodation.

Good siteNice site with good views

Sinclair, Dennis - 05/10/2024

Nice site with good views. Pitch was level and generous in size. Toilets/Showers were clean with wet and dry areas with some showers having a curtain to seperate th eareas. Only downisde wasa the shower delivered about 10 seconds of water before shutting off, so I was constsntly having to press the start button. Can understand why this happens but thought a 30 second interval would be suitable. Reason for 4 star was that initial booking email and board on entry said to use call button near the stop sign. However, an email was sent on the morning of our visit giving our pitch number, which I had not seen as I was driving. Future visitor please note that you need to check for an email.
