Woodsworth Exploring

Positiv 4th time visiting and excited to go back! Loved every pitch we’ve had, the excitement of being in the forest is always brilliant. Clean toilet facilities, lovely, approachable owners.

Positiv Woodland pitch was unusual for us. Enjoyed the secluded glade we were in.
Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Negativ No hot water.
Having to carry equipment from the car park.
To be fair, these points are made very clear on the website.
Also the email I received after booking said that gas canisters over 2.5kg are not allowed (and we have a standard larger one). I called the site and they did allow us to bring ours. I appreciate the need to restrict fuel in the woods but this needs to be made clearer before booking.

Positiv Brilliant, very different from your usual camp-site but perfect for those that enjoy wild camping

Positiv Everything, loved the place, staff and owners are lovely, a very well set up and thought out place.

Negativ Only slight issue for us, as we like it quite and remote, was it got a bit noisy on our last night from the neighbouring pitch, can't always be helped though.

Positiv Fantastic site with a great ethos of preserving the woodland at it’s heart.

The pitches are individual forest clearings so you have some privacy and a choice of shade or sunlight which over the last few days has been amazing to stay shaded outdoors.

Duncan and Emma are wonderful hosts and are there when needed but leave you in peace otherwise.

Having a lovely campfire in your own grove of trees is as great as it sounds!

Negativ The hill, we didn’t listen to the advice when booking and took everything apart from the kitchen sink.

Entirely our fault and only mentioned so people do read the website and listen to it!

Next time we shall go more lightly equipped and stick to the wheelbarrows, they just work better.

Positiv The location (the local scenery is like something from a postcard and one of the local pubs does a thing called a Saxon pie which is a taste sensation)
How clean the toilet block was which must take alot of work given that the site is in the woods
The size of the pitch (we had 3, 3 man tents and a central admin area covered by a tarp on our pitch with room to spare)
The freedom you're given to enjoy yourself (clearly you can't be disruptive or disrespectful to anyone but as long as you're not harming anyone or damaging the wildlife the staff will let you get on with it without breathing down your neck)

Positiv Really enjoyed the camping in the woods experience and would definitely go back again. The toilet block was clean and well maintained.

Positiv First time stay. Exactly what it says on the tin. Warm and friendly welcome, very helpful staff with guidance to walks, parks, shops, pubs etc. Lovely woodland camping. Fire pits on each pitch is a brilliant touch. It is everything you want for “almost” wild camping. Fire, tent, scenery and wildlife. Will definitely be returning.

Positiv Loved the woods, the staff, the facilities were great, everyone was friendly and it was relatively easy to find. A very unique and really wild feeling experience.

Negativ I reckon it would be amazing if they had a shower.

Positiv Facilities were clean, loved the setting and the thought of lending out wheelbarrows to move belongings to the site.

We heard so many owls at night and while sitting round a crackling campfire with friends, it was the loveliest experience ever. We've already rebooked for another time and can't wait to come back
