Liked Absolutely loved camping in the forest! Jess was a very friendly and helpful host and both myself, my husband and my children (16,12,11) loved all the new experiences.
The bucket shower was fun, no it isn't a power shower but who expects that in the forest. It just added fun to the whole weekend.
The bell tent had more than enough space for the 5 of us and we had our own little out door clearing with bench, chairs and campfire which came in extremely helpful when it rained all day on the Saturday, it meant we were not stuck in doors. Loved the added touch of the camp stove in the washing up area, for early risers like me its a god send :)
There is a huge field that can be used for games and a little village not very far if a shop is needed.
Really liked the honesty system where you could pick up extra firewood/kindling/firelighters without disturbing Jess all the time, you could just mark what you took on the board and post your cash in the box. Loved the little tea lights as well!
Myself and my husband used to be avid campers and we have taken our children both camping and glamping and this was by far the prettiest, most peaceful experience we have had.
Currently looking to see when we can come back next year we had that much fun!

Disliked Don't wear white Crocs unless you want them ruined lol and I wouldn't advise you coming if you have a fear of wildlife or mud, if these things don't bother you, you will have a blast.

WIFI is very spotty, don't go and expect much internet and you will not be disappointed. My only frustration was I couldn't read the news at 4am, but that is an extremely minor thing and to be honest just added to the peacefulness in the end :)

From the manager: Dear Colleen,
Thank you for your lovely review - we are all so happy that you all enjoyed your stay with us, depite the Croc-astrophe! We do hope that we see you back here again soon.

Liked The location was idea, quiet and relaxing. The tent was a good size and met our needs. The owners had thought of everything we need, and made the stay relaxing and stress free. The canopy meant we were still able to sit outside even with the rain. The kids loved exploring and playing in the woods and being off grid was great to encourage imaginative play.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Dear Katrina,

Thank you for your lovely, kind words. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us at Wild Boar Wood and we hope that you will all be back again to visit us soon.

Liked I stayed for one night with my 12 year old son.

Firstly, the Wardens were fantastic, super friendly and happy to help.

The campsite offered so much more than I was expecting. Each tent included all cooking equipment (pots, pans & washing up stuff etc.). The facilities around the campsite were equally as good. Extra chairs, board games, candles, books etc. A nice touch was a communal gas hob if you wished to make a speedy cup of tea/ coffee, they even provided the tea and coffee. It just made wild camping more accessible to those less equipped for camping. Very clean communal toilets and bucket showers. My son had a shower in the morning and it was a great experience for him.

Views of the steam train from the campsite and also a woodland animal search in the enclosed woodland was a lovely touch.

Overall, a lovely campsite, we will be returning.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so happy you enjoyed your stay and the facilities at the campsite. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Liked Absolutely great set up, we had tent 10 which was the furthest out in the corner to ourselves which I really liked. (Only down side was slightly further walk to the toilet in the night!)
Everything you need is provided (minus bedding.) Also have books, games etc you can borrow. Very friendly staff, couldn't apologis enough when our zip on the tent was broken on arrival. Offered to move us but as the weather was behaving it wasn't really a problem.

Disliked Not really a "dislike" but more of a note to make to potential campers that the site is on a flight path, so planes going overhead through the night but we got used to this very quickly.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review! Sorry to hear about your tent zip but we're so glad you had a great stay despite this. We hope to see you again soon.

Liked Everything about it. The vibe and location were so special. We had an amazing time. Anna was lovely and really helpful and the facilities and amenities were thoughtful and made the stay so much easier. Definitely returning.
