We raised an amazing total of £2300 and now thanks to your generosity and support we will be helping to build a new primary school for New Beginnings orphanage in Uganda. 😊

What a fantastic weekend had by all. Great central location for a range of family activities from Castlewellan Park, Mountpleasant horse trekking to Tyrella beach and Mountpanther. Back to a well made and maintained glamping pod, the boys had a ball at the farm with the other campers kids in the play area just behind the pods secure and closed in. It was a very hot weekend luckily we brought a fan. What a prize less than 20 miles away I never would have thought of glamping but thanks to The Camping Pods competition we got to experience it, definitely a must do again. Can't wait to go back and see the maize maze when it's grown a bit. Thank you Alan for your hospitality.

Went to funny farm adventures yesterday with 3!of my friends and all our children. We rented out all 3 off the pods. We had the best time there and the kids can't wait to go back again in the summer. Also Alan the owner was lovely and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again. Would definitely recommend this place

We had a great time here! What a find� perfect for families. Our 2 under 3 loved it! Play area is great and location is stunning with gorgeous views.

We brought our three girls (all under five) for their first camping trip, and they loved it. Really family friendly site with loads of really fun activities to do, and the team that run it couldn’t do more for you. Would highly recommend it.

We absolutely love this place. Great for touring caravans. The amenities for wee children are brilliant. We've stayed here a few times and and on a good day weather wise the views are amazing. Alan and his family are really lovely people and he's what I'd called a gent. Not up and running long and he's getting there. Really if you have young kids this is perfect. No shop or cafe etc if your there before July and August. But the price is spot on for what you have. We'll be back a few times before summer is out.

Very friendly staff and owner (Alan) Plenty to do for kids! Stayed around 3 hours but could stay longer - hot food available and good variety and quality! Also cute wee sweet shop . Lovely day out! Make to do the maize maze also!

This weekend was are 2nd time at funny farm last year was are 1st and 1st ever time camping and just like back then this weekend has defo give us the camping bug for this year cant wait for another few months of adventures but will be sure to return to funny farm before the season is out its brilliant for kids they can just run free and the adults dont have to stress alan and shane were brilliant very friendly and nothing was to much hassle views were fantastic of the mournes and weather was an added bonus defo love this site and so do the kids which helps loads !

This place was brilliant kids had a ball great value for £15 a night for tent close to Newcastle castlewellan tollymore ! We did it all plus played around the site on all the activities for the kids ! If your even in the area do the granite trail views were amazing we will be back

Staying at this campsite is a must (1) the price so cheap (2) it is so peaceful with stunning views, (3)the play area is open to the public during day then any body camping that night has the place to themselves (4) The Ower Alan and staff are fantastic nothing was a bother (5) place is very clean (6) on site cafe and shop (7) there is sooo much for kids to do bouncy castle, slides, go carts, maze etc (8) shower and glamping pods available. (9) At night it feels very safe and secure (10) the tents and caravans are right next to the play area so you can see kids at all times.

Overall you won't be disappointed and for what all's included you can't complain about the price of camping as I said to Alan he should probably charge a bit more �

My six year old loved this place as there was plenty to keep him occupied and plenty of kids for him to play with. The pods had stunning views of the the Mournes, were clean and tidy, and the beds comfortable. The owners and staff were all friendly and welcoming and never far if you needed help. Just a shame a family with children in another pod thought it would be ok to choke the rest of us with the strong stench of their cannabis! All in all, would recommend to families, and would be happy to return.

Just home from our stay in funny farm adventures- we had the pleasure of winning their recent competition for a overnight stay in the glamping pods � have to say we really enjoyed our stay! Pods are immaculate and beds really comfy with amazing views of the mourne mountains! (Pods have kettle, toaster, tea, coffee, cutlery and plates etc, picnic table to the side of every pod so you can enjoy your own food/BBQ/picnic which was great... USB charging also)

Our little girl who's almost 5 had a great time in the play area lots to keep her entertained and really enjoyed the maize maze, slide and zip line. Cafe, bathrooms and shop also on site.

Been going to castlewellen and on to Newcastle for years and never knew this place existed unfortunately.. (located only a few mile from Newcastle) def worth a visit for a day out/ overnight stay with the wee ones- great way to end the summer holidays and can't wait to visit again really soon!

Thanks to the owner and staff at funny farm who are all really helpful and friendly! �

Just home from a fantastic weekend staying in the 6 bed pod..the pods was spotless and so much room in them..the whole family had a ball and we will see you again over the summer...I will definitely be recommending to family and friends xx

Just home from Funny Farm Adventures. Me hubby 2 boys and our golden retriever stayed in the glamping pod for 2 nights. Was great! Had a toaster, fridge and kettle and the beds were so comfy!

Plenty for the boys to do in the play area and such beautiful scenery! Plenty of space to bbq and you can also camp and caravan. Would highly recommend for families

Just back home and can't wait to back kids had an amazing time staff were so nice and helpful the pods were so clean and comfortable as my first time glamping I had an amazing experience so thank you plus kids were never board a place we're kids could be kids so thank you xxx

I recently won an overnight stay in one of the pods and it was brilliant. The pods come with a kettle, toaster and mini fridge, cups, plates and cuttlery. It was clean and the views were amazing. We were lucky enough to see a baby Llama born only a few days before. Kids loved it. No shop or cafe this time of year but its only a quick drive to Castlewellen or Newcastle. We will definitely book again.

Highly recommend this place so much to do for children and parents from barrel rides, zip line, mini golf, maize maze, cafe, shop and much more. Great location close to Newcastle and Castlewellen. My son loves the place especially the barrel rides. We have stayed in pod which were very clean and tidy and done camping and it was brilliant. Lastly the family and staff are so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back although if David had his way he would be there everyday xx

Great place very friendly and helpful they help me set caravan up as I'm a newbie definitely recommend. Roll on weekend till back up again

Funny farm is a great place to stay. A few minutes from Castlewellan and about 10/15 minutes into Newcastle. Glamping pods are so clean and the view from them is amazing. Good facilities with the adventure playground on site the kids can have fun in a safe environment. Will definitely be going back. Thanks Alan.

Fantastic spot for families in a beautiful part of Co. Down. The pods are best we’ve ever stayed in
