Howard's Wood

Liked Liked the feeling of freedom. We turned up, picked out pitch, surrounded by lovely woodland and set up. Enjoyed the quiet vibe of the woods.

Disliked Pub playing music until late.

Liked It is in a nice location with pretty woodland walks, short walk to a good local pub and plenty of places to visit in the local area. Good pre arrival communication from the owner. Enjoyed watching buzzards and red kites flying overhead and the cider at the local Isaac orchard is good.

Disliked Unfortunately it missed the mark on a few points. Our pitch was pretty scruffy with brambles and branches that had recently been hurriedly hacked down left around the edges of the pitch. Luckily we took secateurs and tidied a few bits up so we didn’t get ourselves or our tent ripped. There were five tree stumps which really limited where we could put up our tent and if our tent had been much bigger we’d have had trouble pitching it on flat ground (it’s just a four berth). In general the whole site could have been better maintained. There was no signage or map provided to show where the two toilets and shower and washing up areas were. We weren’t the only ones who couldn’t find it as others asked us too. As it happened the loo was quite a way from our pitch. There was a shorter route but it meant walking via other people’s pitches which I didn’t want to do. Another loo near the entrance end of the site would be helpful. The pitches weren’t terribly private compared to other woodland places we’d been to and even less so as the woodland was open to local residents to walk their dogs. We had several walk by every day which was uncomfortable when we were relaxing outside the tent.

Although no fault of the owners, we returned home with a few ticks latched on to us so I would just make sure you check yourselves and your dog after a stay.

Would we go back, probably not, but with a bit of extra care and a bit of tweaking this could be a great site.

Liked Great pitches, wild camping, plenty of space and secluded under trees. Walk to the pub is worth the 15 minutes. Easy drive into Bridport with their market on a Saturday.

Disliked Having to take rubbish home.

Liked Really nice stay at the camp site. Excellent communication. Nice to get away from it all. Very wild style camping, which is what we wanted.

Liked absolutely everything cannot complain. the area is beautiful with plenty of local places around if you want to go out. other campers are always kind and helpful. the facilities are perfect like shower toilet & washing up. they provide all shower and washing toiletries. the park near is dead quiet when it gets dark so no noise from there. overall would 100% recommend, will definitely be back :)
