Woodsman Kent Wild Camping

A aimé : It is a quiet secluded woods, and if you are seeking back to basics, this is it. No water on site, but available with wood and eggs to buy when we arrived, and very good they were too. Fire pits are provided and easy to cook on. Facilities are basic with just one composting toilet and one latrine, but basic is what we wanted. Close to Derring Woods, and Pluckley for those seeking Ghosts, but all we found was lots of owls and squirrels to keep us company at night. Michael is very friendly, and had everything we asked for waiting when we arrived. If you are looking for a wild camping experience, this fits the bill.

A aimé : Everything! Exactly as described and expected. Beautiful pitches and site, properly private and off the beaten track. So obvious and refreshing that the natural habitat is prioritised over human convenience. Many thanks to Micheal for being a welcoming but unobtrusive host, and for the work he does maintaining the area. Don't forget your binoculars for bird watching as the sun comes up!

Réponse du gestionnaire : The gate is locked at night and is open any time on request for the safety and security of everyone on site Arrival time is between 12 pm and 6pm not at 930 at night without prior notice The meeting point where people park is 60mt to the compost toilets between these two points the is 4 pitches on the left and right of the track The is no way it is 500 or 600 yards you are totally wrong You are also not welcome here again. When you asked about collecting kindle wood for the fire I said no as it's very important for the ecology of forest and I gave you some but when you left I found lots of half burnt wood in your pitch I know the forest very well and I could see the area you collected it from You behavior is not acceptable for our forest 99.9% of people who come here understand that we are all guests in this unique place and have to treat this place with respect and care you however showed very little of either

A aimé : Woodlands, few people, limited facilities, open fires. Nice local pub and shop.

N'a pas aimé: Road in was very muddy and my car slid around and the bottom hit the track. Gate being locked at night. Limited arrival and leaving times.
