Camping Pitches
Freshwinds prides itself on offering a traditional camping experience with no electric hook-ups, clubhouses, or crowded spaces. The campsite is divided into three distinct areas:
Mill Garden: The largest camping field, surrounded by mature trees and bordered by a stream on three sides. It offers 14 spacious pitches, each with a fire pit, as well as a large camp kitchen with hot water sinks, two compost toilets, and two hot showers. Children will enjoy the climbing frame, swings, and open space for games and bike riding.
Stream Field: A smaller field adjacent to Mill Garden with four large pitches, each equipped with a fire pit. This area is ideal for adult groups seeking a quieter atmosphere, with access to a compost toilet and shower.
Woodland Glade: Perfect for a secluded getaway, this area features two pitches set within a shaded wooded area. One pitch is car-accessible, while the other requires a short walk across a stream. Guests here enjoy a tucked-away charm while still having access to Mill Garden’s facilities.
Facilities
The site features a camp kitchen with hot water sinks, compost toilets, and hot showers. A fairy trail leads to the farm, where a flush toilet and a picturesque garden await.
Freshwinds accommodates small VW campervans but cannot host larger campervans, caravans, trailer tents, or commercial vehicles due to a narrow access bridge.
Activities and Atmosphere
Set amidst beautiful natural surroundings, Freshwinds offers tranquillity, simplicity, and a connection to nature. Guests can explore the fairy trail, enjoy campfires, or relax in the serene landscape, making it the perfect destination for a peaceful escape.
