Primrose Smallholding & Campsite
'Pop Up' Campsite on a working Smallholding. Just 5 miles from Hereford.
Relaxing location with FREE daily animal tours!
Why Camp With Us?
Campsite
In 2026, our family-focused and pet-friendly campsite will be open for the early May Bank Holiday, the May half-term week, and the main school summer holidays.
Tucked away in a peaceful rural spot near Holme Lacy, with beautiful sunset views over Dinedor Hill, and yet, we’re just five miles from the historic city of Hereford.
We keep things relaxed by limiting the site to just 25 spacious pitches across our three-acre field. Most campers set up along the boundary, so there’s no tripping over guy lines — just plenty of space for children to play while the grown-ups sit back and enjoy the view (perhaps with a glass of wine in hand!)
Facilities
Although we operate as a ‘pop-up’ campsite (so no permanent structures), we make every effort to provide spotlessly clean and well-maintained facilities for all our guests.
New for 2026:
We’ve increased the number of event-style toilets and added a men’s urinal block, all cleaned and emptied regularly to ensure everything stays fresh.
Our well used pot wash area now has hot running water, making washing up after meals that bit easier. We’ve also redesigned our field shelter area, which now includes:
- A fridge and separate freezer for storing milk, drinks, and ice packs
- A free charging station for multiple mobile phones and devices
To help us look after the environment, you’ll find clearly marked recycling bins around the site — part of our effort to reduce waste and encourage everyone to recycle.
And finally, our hugely popular shower unit will be back for 2026, ready to keep everyone looking good and feeling refreshed!
Our Animals
Every morning at 9am, Campers can join our free guided animal tour — one of the highlights of a stay at Primrose Smallholding.
Meet our friendly pigs, pygmy goats, sheep, and chickens, they are always hungry and keen for their breakfast! Children (and grown-ups too) are welcome to help with feeding and learn a little more about what’s involved in caring for animals on a smallholding.
The tour usually lasts 30–40 minutes, depending on group size and questions, and it’s a relaxed, hands-on way to start your day before heading out to visit all that Herefordshire offers.
Whether you join in or just watch from the sidelines, it’s a lovely opportunity to meet our animals, and take some great photos.

Our Herefordshire campsite is ideal for families, couples, and solo travellers looking for peace, space, and fresh air. (Sorry - we don’t host stag or hen groups.)
