August 2025 - cannot rate this campsite and the team highly enough. Thankyou so much for hosting my 50th birthday celebrations. Everyone had such an amazing time. Stunning site on the Wye, fantastic and relaxed team of staff, super clean and tidy. Great ciders and of course the river Wye to enjoy. We are planning our annual visit. Totally recommend a visit!!!! Big thanks.and big love. ♥️♥️♥️ Easter 2025 - Just spent a lovely weekend at Byecross Farm Campsite. Stunning setting and layout. We stayed in the orchard, a beautifully kept area of trees and lush green grass set right beside the River Wye. There were plenty of other options to chose from with wide open fields, little hidden nooks and other beautifully kept fields with trees but less than the orchards. Easy access to the river for paddling and swimming fun. We found the staff here to be wonderful to speak with and the grounds and facilities were in great condition and super clean. We loved our time here and have booked again for a special birthday celebration in August. Looking forward to the onsite canoeing and paddle boarding. The local cider range is plentiful and awesome. Big up. One of the best campsites we have visited and totally recommend a visit. Andy, Crystal, Reuben and Delancey :)))♥️

Wonderful campsite, in a beautiful area. We have camped here over the years and never disappoints. The shop on site and the food they provide is brilliant with friendly staff. A bonus is that it's is located next to the river and you can hire canoes from a company based at the site. Can't wait to be back again!

Great spot for camping. Orchard was lovely to stay in. It was chill there even though there were large groups of adults. Easy to get in and out of river for canoeing and swimming. River was nice and calm to canoe up and then back down. Mix up with our pizza that was picked up by someone else. Showers, toilets and wash up was good. Can’t wait to go back.
