Home Farm Radnage Caravan & Camping Park
UK England South East England Buckinghamshire High Wycombe
Home Farm sits in the blink-and-you'll-miss-it South Bucks village of Radnage. Helmed by affable host Andrew Radford, this traditional, family-run site boasts spectacular vistas of the surrounding Chiltern Hills. With myriad walking routes snaking from the site including the Ridgeway Path and Icknield Way, Home Farm is the perfect base for exploring this lush, unspoilt landscape less than an hour to the west of the capital. There's several acres of well-shorn grass to pitch up your tent or park your campervan, and while facilities might be a touch on the basic side, they're more than adequate. Kids will love letting their imaginations run wild – the spacious verdant fields their own personal fiefdom of fun – while mum and dad can recline and soak up the sunset over those famous hills.
As all cool campers know, proximity to a decent boozer is high on our list of cool campsite credentials. We all love the post-pitch up stroll into the nearby village to find that welcoming country pub and savour a pint of the local brew, unwind in the beer garden (or dry off beside the roaring fireplace as the case may be), and get the inside scoop from the locals on what to see and do. One thing we're less fond of though is the schlep back to camp, particularly if you've got littl'uns with you or, if you've... ahem... over indulged (you know who you are). Well, thankfully a treacherous night time stagger tentward is one thing thing you won't need to worry about at this idyllic Chiltern Hills site – for you'll be camping right next to not one, but two of the area's nicest pubs. We'll drink to that?

Beautiful view with amazing facilities
Pretty and quiet site nestled amongst rolling hills
We spent a couple of nights at Home Farm at the start of June this year. Getting there without a car means a bus from High Wycombe, and about 40 minutes' walk along fairly quiet country lanes.
The site has a nice view over a grassy bowl and into a copse of trees. Beyond that are the rolling Chiltern Hills, and the endemic red kites do indeed circle overhead. Next door to the site is a cosy pub which had some nice ales on offer. You can also walk along the windy up-and-down lanes to The Three Horseshoes, which is a pretty, old-looking pub on a steep slope which doubles as a restaurant (we didn't try the food).
The booking confirmation email invited new visitors to drop by reception to say hello - but it wasn't clear what the reception was. There was the front door to the owners' house, but we didn't want to go disturbing them considering it wasn't marked as a reception. Throughout our entire stay we didn't meet the owners once, which was a bit strange.
Weekend away
Had a really lovely weekend away at this campsite in the Chilterns. The owners are relaxed and friendly and had some tips for a good local walk for seeing the red kites. The facilities are basic but well kept - although the washing up area is outside (luckily we were blessed with good weather but it may be worth bringing an umbrella just in case!).
The family who own the campsite also work full time and there are no designated pitches so we were a little aprehensive that we might struggle with finding a good pitch or large groups being noisy but all the other guests were really concienous and we got a pitch larger than we might elsewhere! Although there were a few large groups on the site, everyone stuck to the 10pm noise curfew making it a really peaceful place to stat. The pub next door serves surprisingly good food despite looking a little run down - would definitely recommend!
All in all a really lovely weekend away!
