Non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: I need to say the site looked good and was well maintained. The lady who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for waiting for us 🪻
Disliked: I was disappointed as we had no sleep whatsoever the train noise was loud and it didn't feel like we were in the middle of nowhere! Too much noise because of that train which was round the corner from the site. The other thing was the Car Park is not on site! You need to walk with all your stuff so please be prepared if you would like to take few bits you will end up walking back and forward to the car park.

Liked: Great location if you really want to go off grid and be umongst nature, there's even a lake nearby where you can take a swim if you're feeling brave! Ideal for those who want to get a break from the hustle and bustle of city life to reset and recharge. It's walking distance from the train station that runs straight to London Liverpool Steet or parking spaces if you choose to drive. It's child friendly with lots for them to get stuck into if they get bored such as arts and crafts or a bit of gardening. Fantastic walking trails that run along the river which is literally a stone throw away. The host were very accommodating, they gave me a hand setting up my tent and even provided me with cushioning to put underneath it for that little bit of extra comfort. I even got a nice cup of coffee when I woke up in the morning. They have taken what was once derelict wasteland and turned it into a space that is biodiverse and eco friendly, full of different types of plants and art that brings the area to life.

Liked: I was unable to actually stay as I had a family emergency, however I was greeted by the lovely and friendly owner who happily showed me around the site. The site was basic but as she explained this is a new venture and are working and learning as they go. There was a lovely community feel already blooming and I will be booking again once I can.
Disliked: I was not a fan of the noise of the karting track nearby however I would assume that would not be a 24hr issue

Highly recommend for quiet camping and great staff!

Liked: First time I’ve ever stayed at the campsite and I really enjoyed how small and quiet it was compared to other campsites I’ve been to. Right next to the river and the camping area, toilets, kitchen hut etc were well spaced out and had great people running the campsite, who were always willing to help and were just very kind in general! Was great that there were little gardens, many trees and plants as well as creative art surrounding the campsite and a chance to paint birdhouses for them to use there too! Highly recommend.
Disliked: Quite dark to walk to the portable toilet at night, but as long as you have your own source of light it’s no problem.

Liked: Lovely place nestled in the woods by the canal! We had a nice pitch under a wiping willow! We were allowed to have a fire for a bbq.wood was available on site also. We loved that it is dog friendly! The owner was lovely and showed us around her project. We liked the dreamcatchers hanging from the trees!
