Em va agradar Safe forest area for the children to play, trampolines, swings, climbing, den building, freedom for the children. Additional activities if you want them (we did weapon craft and the kids really enjoyed it). Technology is not king in this forest, back to basics and the simple life reigns supreme. Provided your child has an imagination they will be happy as Larry! The staff were fabulous, especially Becky who is a forest school master and had a special gift with the children. Well deserved 10/10 from us. Plus bell tent was amazing! Thank You! We will be back

No em va agradar Actually, nothing! I wouldn’t change it!

Del gerent: Thank you for your feedback.

We pride ourselves on offering a wild camping experience — the kind where you get to enjoy nature as it is. So no, we don’t have full-time staff onsite to supervise campers like it’s a luxury resort. What we do have is an on-call campsite manager who cleans the facilities three times a day and is available for any issues (such as other groups playing loud music). If we don’t know there’s a problem at the time, unfortunately, we can’t do much about it after the fact — our time machine is still in beta testing.

As for activities, we always recommend booking in advance. That way, we can make sure staff are available and not just standing around hoping someone fancies an impromptu archery session. We do prioritise our holiday club (which campers get 20% off), as that’s where demand is most consistent — and the kids seem to love it, judging by the giggles and mud-covered faces.

Now, just glancing through the scores you left us…

2/10 for child friendliness – We must admit, this one left us blinking. Our site includes a park, swings, trampolines, an agility trail, mud kitchens, and is fully enclosed — it’s basically a woodland theme park, minus the overpriced candyfloss. Most families rave about how child-friendly it is, so we’re a little baffled here.

2/10 for cleanliness – Our compost toilets are cleaned rigorously three times a day. They’re eco-friendly, not luxury spa bathrooms, but again, most feedback is really positive in this area.

Value for money – You stayed at our site for £13 a night — roughly the price of two warm pints in a gastropub — with access to all our facilities, open space, and nature on your doorstep. We genuinely believe it offers great value, and thankfully, so do the majority of our guests.

We do appreciate all feedback — even the head-scratching kind — and will always look for ways to improve. But we also want to stay true to what we are: a relaxed, back-to-basics site where kids can be wild and grown-ups can switch off.

Warm wishes (and compost-friendly ones too),
The Adventure Pirate Team

Em va agradar The site was very nice with toilets and showers, and with a bar/shop available.

No em va agradar There was a big group if people, shouting and partying all night until 2am. I don’t know whom I could report this too, I couldn’t find any number on the website/email. In the morning both toilets were clogged with vomit..

Del gerent: Thanks for your feedback – we’re really glad to hear you liked the site and enjoyed the facilities, including the bar, shop, toilets and showers.

However, we’re a little confused by a couple of the negative points raised. We send a text to every guest from the on-call campsite manager’s number, making it clear that if there are any issues during their stay, they can call or text directly for assistance. That same number is also available on our website and clearly displayed on the front of the Shack – which we know you visited, as you kindly mentioned it in your review.

Regarding the comment about vomit in the toilets – I (the on-call manager) was personally responsible for cleaning and checking the toilets throughout the weekend, and at no point did I find any vomit in either toilet. Had we been made aware of any issue at the time, we would’ve responded straight away to resolve it.

We absolutely want all guests to have a peaceful and enjoyable stay, and we take reports of noise seriously – but we do rely on guests contacting us at the time so we can act.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

Em va agradar This was my first ever camping trip with my son(12) and dog- booked this place based on the good reviews and here comes another 10/10- would have given it more if I could! I never liked the idea of camping in camper vans with electric hookups in the middle of a grass field, pitch next to pitch. If you love nature and virgin camping, if it’s as a couple, group or family or- like myself-single parent witch child- this is your destination! Safe and clean, nice spots to pitch up between trees and bushes, with fire pits and I mean REAL fire pits, where you can spend an entire evening eating marshmallows. Children love exploring the place with torches and the playground with trampolines and the dens. Next time we will take walkie talkies and some water guns. Eco toilets are far better and cleaner than the ones I remember from my childhood camping, showers, washing up stations with hot water and drinking water on site. Everything close and even an Aldi 4 min drive away, not to mention beautiful beaches. I loved every minute there and will come back with some of my friends with kids and recommend to everyone who would like to teach their kids that all the luxuries we have in our life are not essential to have fun. My 12 yr old loved to prep and maintain the fire, to use torches to walk to the toilet and in the tent, he enjoyed how we could spend some time together without phones, tv and even music and even made friends with our neighbours who also were very supportive. All guests on site were friendly and we greeted each other and smiled each time we have done dishes or walked the dog. We had a lovely 2 night stay and can’t wait to come back. James- you are a star and the hard work and ideas you have will make a lot of people happy, you are in the right place and living your dream, thank you for making mine come true- 1’st time camping and I have found the best place ever!

Em va agradar Himmlischer Stellplatz mitten in der Natur.

No em va agradar Ich persönlich würde mich über moderne Toiletten und ein Waschhaus freuen, aber es geht auch ohne :). Die rustikal anmutenden Toiletten waren sauber und gepflegt. Mein Mann war mehr als begeistert.

Em va agradar Loved this place. Each pitch is like your own piece of woodland. Activities during the day and peaceful at night. No mod cons just pure camping. Toilets and shower kept clean and more than adequate for this type of camping. Staff were helpful and friendly. Loved we could have a fire in the ready made pits. Perfect (semi) wildcamp.

No em va agradar Honestly I can't fault this place.
