Positiv Great woodland campsite

Negativ Carpark a little tight when full

Positiv Location is great, each pitch is well spaced from the others, felt a better camping experience than others, clean, wheelbarrows available to transport things from cars to tents, plenty of birds and walks from there. Fire pits with emergency water tank nearby, woods available to buy. Will require extra payment to lit the fire and someone to act as fire warden for the group.

Negativ Nothing, but better use the toilet before night time or can be challenging finding the right path, depending on location.
An induction is required at arrival, can feel too much for some (my friends).

Positiv Loved the forest setting. Love the pitch setup- very individual pitches well Away from other campers making it feel like you are the only ones in the forest. Good facilities . Nice walks into the moors direct from the site. Ecology based site so the staff really look after the woodland, but for those with younger children this comes with strict rules, like no climbing trees. But this makes it very peaceful

Negativ Could hear traffic especially on a night as the site is very close to a town. If the weather is bad be prepared for mud . If you are not fit don’t come here as you need to barrow your belongings from the car park to your pitch which is up hill.

Positiv Focus on nature and ecology, lovely natural woodland, lots of birds singing! Pitches are well spaced and give privacy from other campers. Nice toilets and wheelbarrows to transport kit from car to pitch. Owner was very friendly and knowledgeable with a passion for nature and he shared lots of interesting information.

Negativ Hidden extra charge for having a campfire - on Pitchup it doesn’t tell you anywhere I could find that there is a £7 charge to have your own fire. There are other optional extras to select on Pitchup, but fire is not one of them so it’s not possible to add this to your booking in advance. You will have to pay this on arrival. Owner insisted it was stated but I couldn’t find it. Owner agreed to waive the charge, which was appreciate, but it’s something to be aware of!

The owner also comes into each camp at night and checks everyone is not burning their wood and that they are following the fire rules. This is for safety and to protect the woodland, so the reason is understandable, but if you prefer a wild camping feel and to be left alone at your pitch, this site may not be for you.

There is also a large horse paddock along one side of the site which smells very badly of manure. Unfortunately, our pitch was the other side of the wall to the horses and so the smell of manure was constant. So you may want to ask to be placed away from this side if you don’t like the smell of horse manure!

Positiv great pitches in the woodland setting. very peaceful.

Negativ understandably, there are a lot of restrictions camping in a protected woodland. we felt a bit limited about what we could do and explore as a result.

Positiv Had a great stay, the site was all but empty during my stay so had the woods to myself.
