Hopleys Family Camping

Fantastic family camping, suitable for most types of camping and glamping. Beautiful setting, in terms of pitches and views. Particularly friendly staff team from welcome, to Quiet Time support :) to cleaners and check out. Two playgrounds, small stream at bottom of fields where kids can play, forrest area, big playing field in the middle for football and sports. We stayed in a yurt which was clean, well equipped and attractive. On site great restaurant with the best pizzas, friendly staff, good selection. Farm shop fully stocked with luxury products and good coffee and another cafe on site. Would highly recommend just don't book as large groups of more than 3 pitches as this is not a party camping.

This was our first stay at the site, it was absolutely fantastic, very well maintained, great customer service and the staff go out of there way to make your stay better. The food at the Rustic was 10 out 10, the showers,toilets and wash area extremely clean and tidy. We found the site relaxing with lovely surroundings, great fishing lake and plenty of places for any kids to play safely. We will definitely return and stay longer, so thank you to all the staff and look forward to seeing you soon.

A truly lovely place spoiled by some truly awful people. There's an amazing (and hilarious) review on TripAdvisor from August 2025 from 'John L' that sums up Hopley's perfectly - give it a read if you get a chance. From our perspective - we were sent 3 emails before we checked in that stated quite clearly (in bold) that group bookings were not allowed and anyone trying to circumnavigate this could be removed without notice. We actually turned down a friend and her daughter who wanted to come with us due to this, but we might as well have not bothered. It is not policed. I would say that 75% of the people on site over the bank holiday weekend were part of a group of AT LEAST 8 or more - and here lies the issue. We were unfortunate enough to be on the same row as 2 such groups that both played ridiculously loud, headache inducing house/dance music from 8AM until 10:30PM every day we were there. They drank constantly, swore loudly, had dogs running around completely out of control, or tethered on leads that were far too long (one of which kept aggressively jumping up at my kids every time they walked past), were intermittently smoking drugs and kept screaming at their various feral kids, all of which were completely running amok by urinating in hedges, running through people pitches, messing around in the shower rooms and constantly playing with the drinking water tap - they had water balloons and just left hundreds of torn balloons littered around the tap. No camping, or general, etiquette whatsoever. We didn't want to be "those guys" by calling the warden every 5 minutes (and it would've been blatantly obvious it was us), but we had to on the Sunday night, as after having listened to the awful music all day, they were still belting it out at gone half 10 (the cut off time for noise) and we'd finally had enough. The warden did, in all fairness, come almost instantly. But why are they not doing rounds during the day to Police such behaviour? There's enough of them to do it. If you are reading this after a trip during the May B/H weekend and are scratching your head with one hand and armpit with another because it sounds familiar, guess what? YOU are the issue. We went to the bar one evening (which is amazing) to try and get away from the lovely crowd near our tent, but even that was short lived, as after sitting down for about 5 minutes, a group of lads turned up with their wanna-be-WAG type girlfriends using really loud, beyond vulgar language, not one care given to the fact they were next to a playground full of children. Both us and the lady next to us (with her children) got up and left immediately, both commenting "family camping indeed". We very nearly packed up and left early but decided to persevere. It's such a shame, because the place is really nice, the views are lovely, the shop is well stocked and reasonably priced, the 5 minutes we spent in the bar, it looked great, but whilst poor behaviour isn't policed, it is genuinely not somewhere I can recommend you take a young family. I imagine off peak, out of season, mid week etc. it's absolute bliss - but if you have at least some class and want a peaceful, true family experience without having to cover your children's ears constantly, avoid weekends/peak times/Bank Holidays. To conclude, the inability of Hopley's to Police their own rules completely ruined our weekend . A side note - I would agree with some of the other reviews that there's not enough showers or toilets for the amount of people on site. We found ourselves going for showers at no later than 7am and 5:45pm to avoid the rushes. We have to say, as lovely as the surroundings are, sadly, we will not be returning.

We visited for a beverage and to enjoy the live music; it's an excellent venue that can get quite busy. The camping facilities appeared impressive, and we plan to return to experience them. While we did not dine, the food consumed by others looked delicious. We anticipate returning in the summer.
