Μου άρεσε Beautiful campsite, basic and wild in all the best ways. Nice private nooks created by the trees. Great value. Juliet and Jacob were both very helpful and welcoming, was also handy to be able to buy wood for the fire pit. We’ll be back!

Μου άρεσε Booked a stay for my mum and her comments were ; What a lovely campsite, really friendly staff and the toilets (even though they’re compost loos) were immaculate.
My mum enjoyed it so much that I’ve just booked another 2 nights for myself.

Δεν μου άρεσε Didn’t dislike anything.

Μου άρεσε Quiet, great place for kids to play, the owner explained all the fruit we could forage and offered up some great recommendations for activities. The apples left in a basket were also very tasty. The table and chairs at the campsite made it extra comfortable. The campsite itself had a curated range of different trees available.

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing, it was exactly what was expected for a wild campsite, composting toilet and all.

Μου άρεσε Has the potential to be really nice. Small area of woodland with little nooks for (smaller) tents. No noise from traffic. Get the real ‘off grid’ experience.
Location is good if you’re happy driving, but no shops or pubs etc to walk to.

Δεν μου άρεσε -Toilet. Only 1 on the day we arrived with a second one cobbled together the following day.

-Host quite peculiar as to where you can pitch. There are no pitch numbers and we were told ‘to pitch where comfortable’ but then the host proceeded to come and tell us specifically where she wanted to squeeze us (and every other camper she had that weekend) to set up camp. The size of pitch advertised is not reflective of what you get. We were a party with 4 separate bookings, and were not able to have 4 pitches of space.

-Loud cockerels next door. Don’t mind a bit of country/farmyard noise but the 4:30 wakeups each morning followed by screeching for 2+ hours was somewhat unnecessary.

-Seemed expensive for what you get. The lack of facilities is fine if that’s what you’re going for, but should be apparent in the price.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Before we opened this campsite this spring I had absolutely no idea how much hard work running it would be! Therefore I can forgive your comment that this campsite is not worth the money because you are unaware of the huge effort that myself and my family put in behind the scenes. One thing I hadn't anticipated was managing the rubbish. Because we are a campsite that is conscious of the environment we feel that recycling is important. Despite having separate bins for land fill and recycling most of the rubbish left by campers is all mixed together so we spend a lot of time going through it and taking out the cans and bottles. The cost to camp could be lowered were people to take their waste home with them.

The temporary extra toilet has now been replaced by a toilet that my husband built himself. Many people have appreciated the design of our simple and basic compost toilets.

It is very unusual that our campsite is at full capacity and we now have reduced the number of pitches available to be booked.

Μου άρεσε Staying at Rosehip Wood is a really special experience. I was welcomed by Juliet, who helped me decide the best pitch for my VW campervan given my mobility issues. The facilities are basic - that is made very clear from the outset. I spent five days enjoying Rosehip Wood, for what it has to offer, peace and quiet and when busy; 'like minded' fellow campers who value nature and the environment. As a disabled solo traveller, I felt safe, secure and welcomed.
A first rate site for those of us who want a beautiful place to park our campervan or pitch our tent. I thoroughly recommend Rosehip Wood Wild Camping.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you!

Μου άρεσε Lovely wooded area with private pitches and Juliet was on hand to help with anything we needed. Firepits available to use.

Δεν μου άρεσε Very load cockerels which are quite noisy from about 3 in the morning until late at night.
