Dernwood Farm Wild Camping

Kedvelték: The main site has plenty of space and is surrounded by woodland with trails, feels really peaceful. Plenty of shade and open space to catch the sun. Awesome farm shop and really friendly staff. Toilets and shower block were also really clean and plenty of.

Nem kedvelték: It's been said on other reviews but it really is true - you will be woken up early every day by the dozens of children running through the woods which surround the site. Wasn't a fan of the pylon in the field. By far my biggest complaint is the trolleys you have to use to take your kit from the car park; half don't work very well, and all only have two wheels. They are genuinely quite hard to use, having four wheels would be so much easier.

Kedvelték: Great location, lovely woods for the kids to play in and simple camping - getting back to nature.

Nem kedvelték: Haven’t given 5 stars as we were unfortunate to have an extremely disruptive group of older teenagers that were in incredibly loud all weekend, over the top screaming and despite moving our tent to the other side of the field for our 2nd night, they could still be heard after midnight causing a disturbance. There didn’t seem to be any enforceable rules for noise after a certain hour.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thanks very much for your review, for the sake of others reading this and when you come again ( hopefully) I am always here, everyone has my mobile number and I'm only a text away, it happens very rarely but I'm always on hand to deal with annoying teens. To be honest we very rarely get teenagers as what we offer just isn't what they want, we are very much mainly families with primary school aged children. Thanks Amanda

Kedvelték: We had a fantastic x1 nights stay at Dernwood campsite this weekend. We booked last minute, but couldn't be happier with our choice, site is small, but perfectly formed, full of quiet and respectful fellow campers. Lovely little cafe and farm shop where you can buy all your food essentials if you haven't brought them with you. My advice, travel as light as possible, as you have to transport your gear to the camping field on trolleys. Well worth it though as camping without cars around is a joy. Already looking forward to our next weekend trip. Thankyou Dernwood 🙂

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thanks for your review! x

Kedvelték: The location was lovely with ancient woodlands surrounding the perimeter. The shower block and toilets were basic but clean. The on site cafè & shop was great if you didn't fancy cooking or needed an emergency supply. The five minute walk from the car park to the field is not bad at all, you just exert a bit more energy as you are pushing a heavy trolley.

Nem kedvelték: This is not wild camping, more like pick a pitch. There is a lot of space in the field so your tents are not on top of each other but you are always near other tents. Dernwood state no electronic music allowed however there were groups in other areas with loud music playing. This was not an issue at all but we would have bought our small portable speaker if we knew.

Kezelői megjegyzés: Thanks for your review, if anyone lets me know about music being played I will always deal with it, it's as wild as you're going to get I reckon in sussex, yes it's not the scottish highlands but stilll pretty wild, I called it wild camping when we first opened in 2008 when we didn't even have a loo, so it's definitely less wild now than it was! I hope the music didn't spoil your stay, the other thing we had a few weekends ago was a wedding in the nearby village which was super loud, but out of my hands oviously Do hope we'll see you again..

Kedvelték: Brilliant! Ice cream van daily! Plenty of exploring for the kids! Various rope swings located around the woods! Facilities were clean and bonus that cleaning products were available so you could clean up after yourself! There was literally everything you needed on site from milk to fresh foods! Camp fires were a major bonus! Loved how natural it was! The bluebells were absolutely amazing to see! It really is an untouched paradise! The lady in the shop was so friendly and helpful made our stay even better! Pack you wellies!

Nem kedvelték: The only negative was I usually pick sites with a strict dogs on lead policy (1/2 of the dogs I took is slightly reactive through fear) Was a slight negative that this was not followed or enforced by other campers as their very friendly dogs came to say hello very frequently even popping in the tent for some breakfast! Which as lovely as it was caused havoc for our scared dog! But this isn’t enough to put us off returning!

Kedvelték: Great, friendly welcome, well stocked shop and freedom to choose pitch in large and beautiful field facing the setting sun. Lots of woodland walks and wild flowers and ancient English history on the doorstep. As a solo visitor, I felt safe and welcome, thank you.

Kedvelték: I liked the space between the pitches makes a change from the site that squeeze as many in as possible. The facilities were actually better than I expected and the icecream van is a nice touch everyday, and the lamb chops and sausages were delicious. It was fun to cook over a campfire as well as toasting the marshmallows and cooking sausages in the evening.

Nem kedvelték: The ground was very hard making it difficult to get pegs in and out (luckily we had hard ground pegs because the normal ones wouldn'tstand a chance). A large group of kids running through the wood screaming at all hours, it's amazing how the sound carries and became a bit annoying.
