Black Horse Farm

The clatter of hooves and the low call of horses drifting across paddocks — Black Horse Farm is proper working countryside, where you pitch among the rhythms of a real farm.

This one's for tourers and motorhomers who like their camping straightforward and unpretentious, with space to unhitch and settle without the bells and whistles of a holiday park. The Midlands or northern farmland feel (exact location unspecified, but it's got that classic British agricultural character) means you're likely surrounded by bridleways and footpaths threading through proper fields. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you've got one keen for long rambles.

Facilities aren't detailed, so best to arrive self-sufficient and confirm what's available when you book — this is the kind of place where you might be filling from a standpipe rather than expecting a shower block. Campfires are a maybe, not a given, so ask on arrival. Expect quiet evenings, working farm sounds at dawn, and the satisfaction of camping somewhere that feels genuinely rural rather than manicured.
