Rosehip Wood Wild Camping

Liked Perfect site for a wild camp feel! The owner messaged me during my arrival day with all the details and arrangements I needed. The site for camping is set in a secluded wooded area, beautiful setting for camping with pitches and communal areas hidden amongst the woodland clearings. Water tap and a clean and well maintained compost toilet provides the basics for a wild camp. I even had the site to myself for the night. Will definitely stay again!

Disliked Nothing

Liked We had a brilliant overnight stay at Rosehip Wood with our young grandchildren — arriving midday Tuesday and leaving by 11am Wednesday. To our delight, we had the whole site to ourselves, which sent the kids gleefully into full Lord of the Flies mode (the joyful kind, thankfully!).

Cooking over coals, toasting marshmallows, and stargazing before bed — it was everything you want from proper wild camping. The simplicity of the site really adds to the charm. There’s fresh drinking water and a compost loo, which some might consider “basic,” but for our grandchildren, it was a perfect little reality check and part of the adventure.

We had the bonus of our campervan’s leisure batteries, solar, and an outdoor shower — but to be honest, it’s the raw experience that makes Rosehip Wood special. A peaceful, off-grid escape that gives children (and adults) a gentle reminder of how little we actually need.

We’ll definitely be back — but this time, maybe with a few more marshmallows!

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to leave your review, and your sharing your enjoyment of the campsite, it is really appreciated! Love your photos!

Liked Quiet and sweet spot to stay for the night. Good communication from the owners. We appreciated the table and chairs. Nice place for a stop off or a base from which to explore

From the manager: Thank your for taking time to leave a review, and explaining what you liked about the site, it is really appreciated!

Liked Peaceful, sheltered spot.
The hosts checked up on me, which, as a solo female, I found very reassuring.
Very few amenities, but the composting toilet area was very clean.
I was there as an emergency stop, so need to return, better prepared, to experience it fully. It is definitely worth a visit.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, it is really appreciated! Once the campsite becomes more established we will be able to develop the facilities a lot more, so reviews such as yours are really beneficial to us.

Liked This was such a find.. if you're looking for a camp experience in a natural wooded area where there is peace, quiet and relaxation, this is the site for you.

If you want to get back to natural quiet where the only sounds are birds and the breeze, then you've found your spot.

All of the pitches are nestled in trees and bushes to give a real sense of seclusion and privacy.. you could be here when it's full and not feel overlooked by anyone else.

There's a wide open communal area you can use if you wanted to be sociable where you can sit in front of the open fire pit with others..

There's also a compost toilet and a water tap.. all you need for a back to basic peaceful time..

Disliked ... telling you lot about it - STAY AWAY...!!

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to write your review, it is really helpful to us. Wonderful description and photos! Much appreciated! Fingers crossed people won't take your advice to stay away! and the campsite will be able to prosper and continue!

Liked This was a lovely campsite! There were plenty of places to stay that were secluded and plenty of shade for dogs too! It was a really friendly campsite and as a female traveller I felt totally at ease and safe there. There is a huge field to walk in also and plenty of campfires on site. The owner was absolutely lovely and I will be a regular customer at this campsite!

From the manager: Thank you for taking time to write a review, it is really valued by us. Glad you and your dog enjoyed your stay, I look forward to meeting you again.

Liked The peace and quiet .The general layout and the well made compost toilet.

Liked Great quiet pop up Campsite in a woodland setting.

From the manager: Thank you for adding your review, and sharing your appreciation of the site, it is really valued by us.

Liked Beautiful site, relaxed atmosphere, quiet, well kept.

Disliked There was only one fire pit. I think the site could do with more, maybe fix the locations?

From the manager: Thank you for your positive review, we are a brand new campsite and any ideas on how to make improvements are welcome. We have already added an extra fire pit and hope to add some more soon.

Liked Loved this remote off grid pop up campsite with secluded woodland pitches set in beautiful countryside. Poor phone signal and lack of Wi-Fi just adds to the off grid experience. Clean toilet and bin area with drinking water tap nearby.

From the manager: Thank you for your encouraging and supportive comments. We are very pleased that you enjoyed being at our site.
