My favourite campsite in the whole wide world…read more I really shouldn't be writing this review as I want to keep it a secret.... but Bycross Farm Campsite has been in the Telegraphs top ten UK campsites, so I think the cat is out of the bag now. Oh well. We've camped here four times now and its always been a lovely experience and on our most recent trip we were the only people here, which was nice. We initially found this campsite when we did our first canoe trip down the River Wye, it was on the Wye Valley Canoe Centres list of places to camp on the river route. That is you could land your canoe at these locations and camp up. The overall highlight of this place is its an apple orchard. A magical setting to be honest as the place is surrounded with fabulous bird life. Be warned the dawn chorus in the summer time is mega here, so if you don't want to be woken, bring good ear plugs. Otherwise, lie back and test out your knowledge of birdsong. Another highlight is this camp is it allows camp fires, unlike most other campsites I've stayed at in the UK. The owner treats campers like the adults they are and as a result the positive camping experience is increased ten fold. Before now there was one shower and two toilets, which was just about enough. But one our recent stay I found out that a whole shower & toilet block has been built out the back. And an excellent one it is too. There are also more wash up sinks, I think three more to the existing one that was already there at the existing toilet block. It's a little rough and ready, but that is what makes Bycross in my opinion the nicest place in the world when it comes to camping. No manicured lawns. There are very little notices up telling you what you are not allow to do. In June 2013 it cost 5 GBP per person per night. The hot power showers will cost you 1 GBP per five mins. For me this is excellent value for a fantastic camping experience.

We spent a rather wet week here in August 2008; our first camping trip with our kids (5 and 7) in a…read moreused tent we bought off eBay. Despite the poor weather, this site was perfect as a secluded getaway. It is nicely wooded, and there's a kids play area with ropes hanging off the trees. It only has 29 pitches about 50:50 for tents and campervans so you have the following immediate benefits : a) all amenties are close to your tent b) it's really quiet c) you can let your kids wander about knowing that they're always within earshot Perhaps I shouldn't really be writing this as the secret could quickly get out, however it is already featured in a book called 'Cool Camping' so what the hell. The pitches are all flat and well-enough drained. There's gravel about 4 below the turf, so you'll need a hammer for your pegs. The facilities are kept clean, the showers very good and there's adequate provision for washing up, throwing away your rubbish and there's a fridge where you can freeze ice packs. The site has a small shop with basics, but there's a Co-Op nearby and Monmouth is 15 minutes away and has everything else you could need. The manager's live on-site so help is always at hand; they even kindly charged up the kids games console. The site is up a steep hill, via narrow road, so I'd not like to try getting to it with a caravan - I'd suggest campervans (nothing too long / wide) and tents only.
