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).

Great

Barrett, Louise - 16/08/2025

I had a really good welcome. The campsite was well organised with good facilities and the fridges made life easy. The toilets were clean enough but did smell of wee. Youngsters cleaning I would guess. Great views and a well kept site.

Beautiful setting, great service on site. Only one catering van at the time.

David, Maria - 14/08/2025

Service was great, it would be nice to have some shade or even the possibility of renting a gazebo, in the heat it was too much for the kids. Also fair space in the fridge. When we arrived there was hardly any already, some people would put their whole cold bags inside. Also the better clarity regards catering as we planned having pizza one night and there was only fish and chips , not ideal for the veggie lot. Also there is no water point in the furthest field which made it hard to transport water in the heat. Overall lovely , great for first timers looking for a few nights nearby St Albans area

2 families united in camping funtimes

Stallard, Pamela - 12/08/2025

We had two families together, 3 in one tent and 4 in the other. Town Farm was perfect. I loved every amenity there was on offer, great kitchen arrangements and super clean and hygienic bathrooms. Great to have wifi for those down-time moments too. I adored the games room, all well setup and well maintained! 100000% will return <3

We were warmly welcomed at the gate and shown to the pitch. It was overlooking the sheep grazing field. Really nice view for the sunset.Extremely clean facilities and warm showers. Really nicely done. Pub nearby and charging area for phones.

Ideal place for us as a mixed group with children, dogs, a camper van and tents. We will be rebooking for next year asap!

We are a group of old friends now with children ranging from 3 to 14 and dogs in the miix. This site is conveniently located for all of us and has great walks and pubs direct from the site. Staff were helpful and friendly. We were pitched next to each other on the upper field and convenient to the facilities, were able to get a fire pit on arrival and had lovely views overlooking the hill on one side and fields on the other. The younger children enjoyed the playground. Spectacular sunsets too. We booked for Sunday to Tuesday during the summer holidays which was quieter and worked for us all as we are all school-based. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be rebooking for next year!
