Little hard to find this campsite online, but a great little site, well worth visiting.
Whatoff Lodge Farm camping, is as it says in the title a working farm, with museum attached. So don’t be shocked to be woken up by farm noises along with the some noise from the varouis onsite companies who
work there.
The site is next to the main farm, surrounded on two sides of fields with horses.
The toilet and showers and even a big kitchen as a little walk away behind the farm house. The men’s toilet was a little out house behind the shower and kitchen. The showers is two power showers with plenty of hot water with good shower heads.
The kitchen, had two sinks and plenty of space to do your cooking in if the weather was too bad to fire up your stove outside. Though there was no microwave oven or cooker in there, but it could easily be used as shelter on nasty days.
The pitch itself was not a big area for camping and it had a wavy effect to it. So it is a bit hard to find a completely flat area. Either on the top and you would roll to the sides of your tent or in the “valley” and you will get very close to your tent partner. Pitching it the other way you would either have your feet and head up or down, where the middle of you would be opposite.

Great friendly service, with that real farm feel.
[…] Whatoff Farm is a great little campsite, though it is a working farm. So we got woken up by the small business on the site and the farmer doing his job. That was 6am and we decided to have a lay in until 8am and wait for the worst of the rush hour to be over. […]
