Dagger Wood Campsite

Likte The forest floor pitches were beautiful nestled in the trees with the ground well maintained for pitching with no big rocks or pokey twigs that needed to be cleared. Most also had fire pits which was a highlight for us as it was a little chilly during our stay, we toasted a lot of marshmallows! The pitches were spaced far enough apart that you have privacy though there were also options if you wanted to go with friends and pitch closer together. The local area has a lot of footpaths to roam and the hunters inn pub made for a nice pit stop not too far from the site at the end of our walks.

Likte ikke The site is quite near the main road so there was a bit of traffic noise. We had noted this before hand so it was to be expected and it didn't bother us or keep us awake at all at night.

Likte Super friendly owner and campsite manager (Henry). They limit the number is bookings so the site doesn’t get overwhelmed. You are assured privacy and your own little pitch where you can relax without being disturbed by the people next to you. Good selection of areas from grassy meadow pitches, birch woodlands, a wooded area and lots of space between them all. 4 composting toilets that are well maintained and fresh running water. There’s also showers (cold water only). Henry offers some great extras like foraging, and air rifle stuff. I’d highly recommend this site but it’s very much semi wild camping. Basically wild camping but with toilet and fresh water facilities. All I ever need but not for everyone.
Not all - in fact most pitches are not flat but you can usually find enough space for 1 - 4 people to be comfortable enough.

Likte ikke Road noise can be a little loud at times but does die down on the evening and early morning. The occasional ’racer’ on a Friday/Sat night but never really that bad.
Drive way is a little rough but continues to be worked on. My lwb sprinter/camper went down and up it with no problems so don’t let this put you off, just go steady!

Likte Great space pitches out of sight of each other.

Likte Very nice woodland with plenty of interesting features. Camping is on the wild side, a welcome change from the usual boring flat rectangle field of most campsites.

Superb fire pit and benches, stumps for wood chopping - everything you need.

The pitches are secluded from each other, you are unlikely to see another tent from your own pitch, I saw a Muntjack or similar deer at the site!

Likte ikke Some pitches are sloped or lumpy

Likte Wild camping which was fab, and just what I was looking for. Everything was very detailed and attentive at the site. Plenty of pitch options.

Likte Great back-to-basics campsite. We camped in one of the small clearings. Enough room for 3 small tents and feels good under the trees. Cold showers not really that cold in Sep and ideal to wash mud off. Just about perfect.

Likte ikke Some guy with a very penetrating voice in one of the other clearings over 100m away - even through earplugs! Not Dagger Wood’s problem but keep it down after hours please 🙏

Likte Lovely semi wild campsite. Nice and friendly owners. Great wildlife, owls, deers and stoats spotted. Secluded camp spots with fire pits.
