Woodsworth Exploring

Liked: On arrival we were met, guided to out parking space and taken through the ethos and how tos of the campsite which was really helpful and made us feel comfortable in our stay. The site is in a lovely woodland woth beautiful views to the surroundings from the nearby footpaths. The pitches are generously spaced out so there is minimum disturbance from any other campers. All round a very easy and unique campsite.

Liked: I took my son here because he wanted to experience wild camping. He absolutely loved it, the pitches are spread out and it gave the wild camping vibe. I cant wait to come back here with my son and partner in the future.

Liked: Everything was great here! I thought the introduction was really helpful and gave a chance to ask any questions and made you feel at ease, as someone who is just starting up camping again and solo camping for the first time this was really nice to have! I enjoyed hearing about the wildlife and what they’re doing to help protect their woodland. The pitches are great and spaced out. I think I had the furthest pitch from the toilet block so it took a few minutes to walk there but I didn’t mind that. The facilities were really clean and it was a good location to get to areas all around there with a bus stop at the bottom of the hill. Everyone was really welcoming and I felt safe there!

Liked: Good facilities - toilets very clean Plots were private and isolated Introduction was friendly and informative Good to see part of an environmental programme to protect woodland Near to some good places to visit

Disliked: Only picky thing is there were no paper towels to dry hands in toilets so we took a towel so not really an issue as toilets were so clean and well presented it wasn’t a problem.

Liked: A close resemblance to the wild camping experience, but with on-site facilities that make it more compatible with taking younger children etc for example. The plots are a decent size and almost far enough away to the others to get the true 'out in nature on your own' feel. The ability to have proper camp fires (on the ground with pre-made stone fire circles) is awesome as a lot of places don't allow this. The woodland is really beautiful and is a testament to the care the owners clearly take of it - some of the rules re not collecting firewood from the ground for example are what is leading this woodland to thrive, in spite it being used regularly by humans. I go wild camping but with some other like-minded adults who know the rules and have the relevant experience etc - I wanted to introduce my son to it but without the risks involved. This was a perfect place to do it. Very well kept, very natural woodland.

Disliked: It was really great, so this is in no way a criticism - the only small down side from what I would personally like, is that the plots weren't just quite far away enough from each other and some of the other people there, clearly weren't there to enjoy only the sounds of nature and the crackle of the camp fire. Some of them were quite noisy and playing their music quite loud etc. One of the owners got one of them to turn it off, only for the plot next to me start playing theirs later, quite loud and drunk and singing along. Not a drama, but not the complete experience of being out in nowhere on your own... to be expected really as it isnt. The logs you buy from them are a tad expensive.
