Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: This was our first family camping trip and wow what an experience. Every single one of us (kids aged 2,7 &10) didn’t want to leave Camp Wild. We camped at the top of the hill which was a short stomp up a steep path. Wow what incredible views! We were fortunate enough to have the best view for both sun rise & sunset. We stayed for three nights and absolutely loved it. We walked in both directions of the footpath which is situated by camp and even went on a 5km Geocache trial locally. We built fires which the kids say wad their favourite part as they foraged the wood themselves from our surroundings. Perfect. The owners were very helpful and anything we needed they were in hand, logs, freezing of our ice blocks and even taking our stuff to and from the camp. The farm itself has its own wildlife including pony’s and horses and we saw wild foxes, deer and birds galore. What a treasure this place is. If you’re looking for a wild camping experience, this place is what you’re looking for. We promise you won’t be disappointed! See you again next year!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Amazing views and very friendly attentive hosts. There are only 2 camping pitches available one at the bottom and one at the top of a large hill. We were at the top with the fantastic view. The pitch has a picnic bench and pop up tent with a chemical toilet which is emptied daily by the site owner. They also replaced the 2 water barrels and bins daily and helped us with our belongings taking them up and down the hill. We also left our trailer at the top which was handy to store things in. The site is in walking distance from town which has local shops and a pub. Lots of wildlife to see and hear and the kids had a great time exploring and collecting wood for the fire. We had a lovely stay and would recommend staying if you fancy a wild camping experience with lots of wildlife and amazing views.
Disliked: The hill was very steep to get up and down, climbing the hill was a struggle especially in the heavy rain with the mud. Our site was sloped with a flatter area under the trees near the back. This area was a walking route/public right of way, which we didn't mind but we felt we shouldn't put the tent here so we were on a slight slope which isn't the best for sleep! We wouldn't advise this site if you don't like the thought of having to climb a steep slope daily (unless you can reserve the lower site). We did had a good time which is why I would recommend it.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and assisted with loading our kit onto the vehicle to take to our pitch. Our pitch was super spacious, with plenty of space for the children (6&8) to play and explore - and with only two pitches that are extremely well spaced we didn't have to worry about the kids making too much noise. Provided was a camp toilet with pop up tent, kitchen unit with pans and washing up bowl, picnic bench and spring water on tap. Super quiet location and dark skies. We heard owls close by and saw bats, deer, buzzards, swallows and frogs. Lots of footpaths nearby and Hemyock only a short walk away with pub and shops. Local farm selling eggs too. The kids loved collecting wood for the campfire and for making dens. Very friendly and helpful owners. We had an amazing stay and will be back next year.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: The tranquil setting. The views of the Blackdiwn Hills. They supplied each pitch their own toilet in a pop up cubical , which was great (no sharing) and they emptied it for us every day and collected our rubbish. Only 2 pitches so it was quiet and peaceful. The owners were so lovely and helpful. They supplied a mobile fire pit which we cooked on. It was wild camping with a touch of glamping. 5 star luxury xx

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: This was just what we needed after a busy year working at secondary schools. It's a very peaceful site and the two pitches are really spaced away from each other. We could barely see the other one. The views are really lovely. We just read books, absorbed the view, used the campfire and BBQ provided to cook some delicious meals and overall, properly relaxed. We're going back again at the end of the summer holidays because we enjoyed it so much. Chris and Caroline are great hosts, ferrying all of our stuff up to the pitch in their cool all terrain vehicle! There were good walks for the dog and wildlife to watch while you chill out on your camp chair.
Disliked: Didn't dislike anything 😊
