Liked: Beautiful woodland surroundings with secluded pitches. Henry the manager was very welcoming and helpful. All the facilities were clean and well kept. I bought a copy of one of Henry's books and it made for a very entertaining fireside read. The perfect place if you want to hang out in the woods and get away from it all. After reading the book I plan on coming back and try out a foraging course and the workout.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: Loved everything about this place. If wild camping is your thing then this is exactly what you're looking for.
Definitely look around for your pitch, we settled at 17 and we dont regret it.
The owner is lovely and nothing is too much trouble.
Disliked: Nothing at all. Its a fab place.
Just a suggestion, maybe on the way down to pitches 18/17 its a bit of a hill so maybe some man made steps could be put in. (I lost my socks and sliders (my own fault for wearing sliders while wild camping) as I slipped back down in the dark 🤣.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: We had a top quality stay at Dagger Wood over the Easter weekend! Perfect for that secluded wild camping feel, with the bonus of toilet and wash facilities on site. Henry even threw in a free bag of kindling as there was a little wait on the logs I'd purchased 😎 Plenty of wood for a 4 hour fire each evening! We also walked along the old railway line into the local villages and enjoyed some drinks at the Temple, and Railway Inn before heading back to camp. Highly recommend if traditional woodland camping is your thing! We'll be staying again 🏕️

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: It's like wild camping but with the permission of a friendly and helpful landowner (Henry) and an easy way to pay to say thank you. Wish there were more places like this.
Plus you can buy logs so you can make a fire easily and in places the land owner is happy with.
Disliked: Not much. The pitch we were on suffered from constant noise from the busy A37. Easily sorted with ear plugs, but be aware in case this is an issue for you.

Primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: The campsite was absolutely beautiful and had a real off-grid feel — exactly what we were hoping for. There are compost toilets dotted around the site and drinking water taps within easy reach. There were plenty of pitches to choose from, and the kids loved having the freedom to explore for hours on end — it felt like a proper little adventure for them.
Henry, the campsite manager, was brilliant — super friendly and full of knowledge. He took us on a foraging walk around the site where we learned to identify all sorts of edible plants (and got to taste them too!). Our favourite was the common marrow, which surprisingly tastes a bit like apple skin — that was definitely a highlight of the trip and such a memorable experience.
Disliked: If you want kindling & logs supplied to you it's quite pricey due to an increase in costs from the sites sustainable log supplier. (Nets of logs £13.00 and kindling for £10.00).
