Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Great space, lovely and peaceful. Choice of woodland or field camping. Clean toilets and able to buy logs, ice etc
Disliked Would have liked hot water sinks for washing hands and brushing teeth etc
5* site! Immaculate well thought out.
Bell tent (six person, woodland)

Disliked Having to leave to come home.

Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked We enjoyed the woodland pitches, but also enjoyed being able to go to the communal area to soak up some sun. It was a peaceful retreat in nature and had all of the amenities we needed. Close enough to local shops to buy our dinner and cook it over the fire. Jamie was a kind host who made sure we were cared for. Spacious pitch with room to spread out.
Facilities were clean and useable. Woowoo toilets were good. Bob good
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Peaceful, flat, easy ground for pitching. Bob, who met us on arrival, gave us good choices re woodland, open field etc.
The site was quiet so we wondered whether the site is in a growing phase….certainly the number of toilets and washing up facilities would not cope with large numbers of campers
Disliked Lack of wash basins. Few of the camping friends we know would go to a site without sufficient wash basins, let alone none.
Great location to camp in woodlands with proper campfire.
Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Nice location with woodland pitches. Each pitch has a covered "kitchen" area with basic prep table and a bin. Toilets and showers are very clean, with hot water available. Massive 60 acre land to explore, with lots of wildlife. If you're lucky you can see deers in the woodland and rabbits across the park. Perfect for bushcraft fun with kids. The owner is really friendly and helpful.
Disliked On a minor downside, unfortunately the sound of the nearby motorway with revving motorbikes can be heard at night.
Great stay.
Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Location was great with really easy access from London, but far enough to feel like your really out in the sticks.
Bob was amazing and provided us with anything extra we needed.
Woodland pitches were spaced out enough to really feel like you were on your own.
Toilets and showers were unbelievably nice and extremely clean. Can't say I've camped somewhere with facilities this good.
Highly recommend and will be revisiting!
Definitely recommend - perfect location for exploring local area
Unpowered forest floor campervan site (woodland, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Gorgeous blue bell wood - widely spaced pitches so you felt secluded and away from it all. Fantastic place to camp
Beautiful trees plants, animals, remote and wild but felt safe
Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Everything.
Beautiful surroundings, stayed in the middle of the forest but had access to lovely shower and toilets. The man was so kind
Beautiful spot for a woodland camp experience. Excellent facilities!

Liked Pitch size
Surrounding area
Local wildlife!
Facilities (wash station, toilets, showers and drinking water all located near pitch)
Host (very welcoming and friendly)
Sheltered area on pitch for extra storage / food prep - lovely bonus
Friendly owner, relaxed and secluded site. Woodland pitches great!
Unpowered forest floor campervan site (woodland, maximum 6 metres)
Liked Great site, nice and quiet and feels very secluded. Large pitches (we were in the woods) with lots of distance between pitches. Great walks around the woods in the site. Lots of nature, saw some deer. The tent pitches in the field and the glam ping field look lovely too. Some of the compost toilets around the site very nice and well kept.
Firepits on all pitches, very friendly owner.
Disliked I'm not a huge fan of portaloos so avoided them.
Brother in law came to visit for an afternoon with his partner. We're asked to pay £10 per person to visit (arrived at about 3pm) then told once they had paid they had to be off site by 5 pm. Understandable that they don't want lots of people visiting, but £10 per person for a couple of hours was quite steep.
