A delightful east-facing pitch, Barn Owl is the perfect pitch for those who enjoy watching the sunrise and their morning cuppa bathed in light. Perfect for tents of a more modest size. Superb panoramic views over the meadow and beyond.

Slightly elevated, Barn Owl offers lovely views across the campsite and catches the early morning sun beautifully. The pitch itself is completely level, although the entrance has a slight slope, so it is not suitable for trailer tents, vans or caravans.

Private facilities include a 6m x 3m timber shelter with preparation bench, picnic table and covered campfire, plus your own waterless eco toilet and private hot gas shower, cleaned and prepared before your arrival.

Dedicated on-pitch parking means there is no need for wheelbarrows or long walks with your camping gear.

Please ensure you add the number of adults and children when making your booking. There is a field with drop-down options to populate this information. Electric hook-up and dogs must be added as additional extras if required.

A perfect break at Kings Mill
We had a gorgeous 2 night stay at Kings Mill last weekend. The hosts are so friendly and greet you at the entrance to the site to show you to your pitch and explain everything about it. The site itself is well maintained and extremely quiet and peaceful. Excellent facilities on your own private pitch including an eco toilet, shower and shelter with picnic bench. Bins also provided on your pitch. We made good use of the honesty shop, it’s stocked with lots of camping essentials as well as ice creams, dog treats, beers and award winning burgers from the local butchers. Less than 10 minute drive to Freshwater west beach. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Amazing stay at Kingsmill
We had an amazing 3 nights at Kinsgsmill. The site is perfectly located for exploring with lots to see and do nearby. The secluded pitch was huge, it was raining when we arrived but we soon had a fire and bbq going under the covered area. Nick and Jo are perfect hosts. I wish we’d stayed longer. It’s the best site we’ve ever stayed on in 30 years. You have your own slice of the country. Outdoor living at its best.
