Town Farm Campsite

4.7 (276 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.

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

>Whipsnade Safari Park - 10 min drive.

Stunning views

Treacher, Sonney - 29/02/2024

I’ve been going to town farm campsite for nearly 6 years now about 4 visits per year between family and friends. It has many local walks and attractions with whipsnade zoo not far. The pub is a 5 minute walk away through the fields and footpaths. Friendly family and staff always around to help. Great food services for those lazy days and nights you can’t be bothered to cook. Toilets and facilities are well looked after and regularly cleaned throughout the day. I’ve never been into the facilities and thought it was dirty. I’d recommend town farm 100% for all your camping adventures to make memories. 5 out of 5 star rating from me.

Lake, Reservoirs and Enigma

Brennan, Paul - 08/11/2023

A group of us ( 8 motorhomes - 16 people ) stayed at Town Farm for 4 nights this October 2003 as it was ideally placed for us to visit College Lake & Tring Reservoirs to observe the Wild Fowl that were arriving to over winter. We also took the opportunity to visit Bletchley Park home of British Codebreakers from WW 2 and learn about ciphers, codes and Enigma.All at Town Farm could not have been more helpful or welcoming, The Toilet Blocks were both clean and warm, as were the showers.We were able in the evenings to make use of the Games Room as a social gathering hub. The Cafe in Ivinghoe was visited on Saturday morning for Breakfast - Full English and smashing !! Finally on our last night there we walked to the local PH - Rose & Crown - in Ivinghoe, for a group meal. The quality of the welcome, service and food was excellent, leaving everybody sated and satisfied. In summary what a great place to stay

Well equipped site in a pretty location

Smith, Kate - 02/11/2023

I booked this site as we wanted somewhere near Hemel Hempstead so we could go to the Snow Zone, this worked well. We also enjoyed a walk around the local area and the views from the site itself were pretty. I only liaised with the staff via email but they were always quick to respond and were friendly. We had our caravan but used the toilet and shower block. The kitchen area looked good for anyone staying in a tent. Our children enjoyed the playground and the obstacle course. We were also pleased that there was an EV charging point on site. Considering how much rain we’d had the week before, the campsite was surprisingly well drained.

Town farm is our go to site. We come here every year. Charles and George make you feel very welcome. The facilities are great and every year they make more improvements. The views are fantastic, with great walks along the canal or Ridgeway path and great local pubs. Recommended.
