Sessile Oak Wild Camping

Positiv The pitch was perfectly located beside a river and it was great to escape to nature.
The ice cream on-site was exceptional.

Positiv This was my second stay at Sessile Oak and my friend and I had a great time. We found an excellent pitch down by the river bed where the trees gave us shelter from the wet August weather. We even got in a spot of fishing - unsuccessful but good craic. The kittens at the farm are a cute addition to Jonny's family which we nicknamed 'The Three Amigos'
Enjoyed the ice cream at Dukes before the drive home - it's so good we took some supplies home. We highly recommend Sessile Oak for a wild camping experience on private land. Also lots to explore in the surrounding areas.
Make sure to bring adequate clothing and footwear for the terrain.

Positiv Myself and 3 boys stayed for the night, the children had a great time wild camping. There was abit of a trek to the camping spot, however it was well worth the trek for the perfect spot besides the river. Dukes ice cream was a lovely treat, so good intact we went back for more. Jonny was a great host.

Positiv We travelled to the Sperrins for a birthday getaway with our two large, energetic dogs. Jonny was a fantastic host from start to finish, despite working hard on his farm. He welcomed us straight away and showed us the areas to pitch. The working farm is a welcoming place that is serene with the beautiful landscape that surrounds it. We pitched up near the river, where we spent the most peaceful two nights. Easy access to the river by following the path along the field. Hugo met his match with Storm, but was very friendly towards our hyper pup and scared, old-man pup. Fantastic ice-cream and fantastic hospitality, we will definitely be back!

Positiv Absolutely beautiful and tranquil wild camping spot, the owner and his family are very welcoming and helpful, we were made to feel very welcome from the second we arrived.
The groups I was with all are seasoned wild campers, and we were all in agreement that it is a fantastic spot.
I cannot praise Sessile Oak highly enough, it is an oasis of calm and tranquillity, if you like your camping to be wild and peaceful this is the spot.
If you want peace and quiet to reflect and relax then this is the spot for wild camping.
The home made Ice cream that the owners make is not to be missed, I fully expect to see it in Marks and Spencer's in the future - it is that good!

Negativ Not a thing!

Positiv We really enjoyed our stay at Sessile Oak. We had a great pitch next to the river at the far end of the field. The river is excellent for salmon and trout fishing (with permission). Jonny was an excellent host and advised us on places to explore around the river and the surrounding area. A firepit is supplied as well as firewood for a few quid. The setting is tranquil with only the sounds of the river and birds. We would recommend Sessile Oak to anyone who wants to experience wild camping next to a river and on private land. The location also makes an excellent base to jump in the car and explore the surrounding area. There is so much to see including castles, tombs, stone circles, forests and much more. The delicious Dukes Ice Cream is a great way to round of your adventure.

Negativ You can pitch your tent almost anywhere around the field and river. However walking from one end of the field to the other can be quite arduous as there is no trail or pathway through the tall wet grass. Please ensure to bring some deet spray for protection from the bugs and beasties!

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thanks so much for your stay George, looking forward to welcoming you back later in the year.

Just regarding your walking down the field in the long grass point, there is a hardcore laneway/track down the left of the field from top to bottom, you guys must have missed it. I will be sure to point it out next time.

Those are some great photos. Thanks again for staying with us.
