Crossgate Farm Campsite

Great campsite with plenty of space and a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It’s very family and dog friendly, with lots to do nearby. Just a four-minute walk downhill takes you to the reservoir, which is a sport fly-fishing water with row boats to rent, and it’s also a great starting point for some of the most beautiful walks in the UK. There are also local spots nearby where you can launch paddle boards for a small fee. The site is part of a private equestrian yard, so while the stables are private you’ll often see horses around, along with goats, chickens and even peacocks that you can feed. Facilities include good showers and wash-up areas, plus there’s a bar, restaurant and café on site serving great food and proper draft beers at fair prices. Overall a lovely place to stay — peaceful, welcoming and with loads to do right on the doorstep. Would definitely come back.
