Woodsworth Exploring

Понравилось This was my first visit, and I came with my husband and daughter who is 7. I really like the ethos of the site around doing no harm and leaving no trace, and the fact it's almost wild camping meant it was peaceful and back-to-basics so you can just focus on the nature and beauty of the site itself. The pitches are well spread out so you weren't constantly distracted by other visitors and their noise as is the case on some other sites! The staff are friendly and helpful, and I like that you're supposed to be allocated a parking space and pitch, and it feels safer as there is a code for the gate and the toilets. Really lovely site and it was amazing to hear so many different birds and different wildlife, I'd love to come back.
Location-wise it's a short drive to Haworth which is a lovely place to spend a day but there didn't seem to be much to do around the site in walking distance. Despite being close to Oakworth and Keighley, you feel like you're a million miles away due to how peaceful it is in the woods!
I think this place is great for people with children age 5+ - keeping in mind there isn't much by way of washing facilities and some pitches are a long way back to the toilets. Lots of places to explore and designated sticks for building dens.
I would ring ahead if you have any disabilities including mobility difficulties as this might not be the site for you owing to minimal marking of paths, some steep slopes, uneven paths, and minimally managed trees etc.

Не понравилось Maybe not 'disliked' but a suggestion for a small improvement would be some minimal signage or some way of finding your way to pitches more easily, as it was very disorientating in the dark to find your way back to the tent, even with a head torch as we were some way from the toilet block and car park.

Понравилось I loved my stay at Woodsworth Exploring.
Great facilities and the staff member Neil gave a really thorough induction and was on hand for any help and advice.
Plenty of clearing to pitch your tent easily and use of fire pits, camp stoves, etc. is allowed as long as they are controlled.

I will definitely be back.

Понравилось Had a brilliant experience here. The chap doing the induction was friendly and very helpful. Given the dryness of the woodland it's good that they're quite strict about campfires while still allowing them. I was in a quiet corner of the site, although not that far from other campers, I felt like I had that little corner to myself with everyone out of sight and ear shot. Listening to the owls hooting while I toasted marshmallows over the campfire in the evening was magical. The facilities are clean and of a good standard. It's such a shame they don't have showers so I could stay longer, but this is made very clear before booking. As a motorcyclist it's reassuring to know the carpark is behind a locked gate and not very visible from the road. There's some nice pubs within a short walk (although quite steep hills involved), the Golden Fleece was very nice and great value for money.

Понравилось We really enjoyed our time at Woodsworth Exploring. Everything was very clean, even the car park. It felt like real camping and it was such a nice experience to share with my girlfriend she really liked it too. A lovely place to spend time together outdoors!

Понравилось Woodland pitch was unusual for us. Enjoyed the secluded glade we were in.
Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Не понравилось No hot water.
Having to carry equipment from the car park.
To be fair, these points are made very clear on the website.
Also the email I received after booking said that gas canisters over 2.5kg are not allowed (and we have a standard larger one). I called the site and they did allow us to bring ours. I appreciate the need to restrict fuel in the woods but this needs to be made clearer before booking.

Понравилось Brilliant, very different from your usual camp-site but perfect for those that enjoy wild camping

Понравилось Everything, loved the place, staff and owners are lovely, a very well set up and thought out place.

Не понравилось Only slight issue for us, as we like it quite and remote, was it got a bit noisy on our last night from the neighbouring pitch, can't always be helped though.
