Dernwood Farm Wild Camping

喜欢 We loved that you have to park your car away from the field so it is safe for children to play. The walk through the woods from the car park is peaceful :) showers were always hot and clean. Staff were really helpful and friendly.
Although it got busy on the Friday afternoon the field is large enough to not feel cramped at all.
The kids loved the rope swings in the adjacent woodland.
It is always wonderful having a real campfire and the honesty box for firewood is a great idea as it didn’t matter if we ran out as we could always get more.
Could pitch where you wanted to which was lovely.
Free WiFi at the shop and not great at the field which is just how I like it so we can properly go back to basics :)
We will definitely return!

不喜欢 No hot water for the washing up area but we heated ours up on the stove and used that instead.

喜欢 I camped solo for this. Very well organised. I quite liked the ‘no cars by tents’ rule. The café/shop is excellent and a great break for a decent coffee or ice cream treat. Surrounding woods (which you can walk in) are lovely. Lovely campsite owner Amanda.

不喜欢 Families being very very loud until
very late. Families arriving late into the evening on Friday (there needs to be an earlier cut-off time) pitched so close to me with their kids running over my guylines and making such a racquet with no control from parents. The same parents were having chats outside my tent at 2am. What’s wrong with people? This caused me to have the worst night of sleep I think Ive ever had camping (and I’ve camped a lot), which made me get up at 5am, pack up and leave Dernwood.
I know this isn’t Dernwood’s fault directly but it’s my real experience. If you’re a solo traveller and/or just want a quiet and calm camp, do not camp here Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
No light in the men’s toilets which is a bit frustrating but okay if you have a headtorch.

喜欢 Great campsite with fantastic woods. Just a few pitches for a very large area garantee a sense of quite, silence and relaxation in nature. There is a good degree of walking to reach facilities and water but it all fits very well together. The cafe and shop on site are excellent compliment to the landsxape. Excellent menu and deliciou meat. Well done!

喜欢 This car free campsite is in a stunningly beautiful setting, surrounded by bluebell woods. There is so much space you are completely undisturbed even when it's 'busy'.
The toilets are in a proper building which is lovely, no portaloo/rickety hut, and toilet paper and hand towels are supplied. There's even a washing up area which so handy.
The wonderful hot showers are back at the car park but the walk to them feels like being in a Disney movie so it's not a chore at all.
The welcome is warm and kind, as are the fires you're permitted to have.
There's just enough phone signal to stay in touch in case of emergency, which is perfect!
We had a wonderful time, we will be back.

喜欢 We stayed at Dernwood Farm Wild Camping with our family, and it was one of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had! The place is truly special — set in a beautiful, wild woodland, far from noise and civilization. It’s perfect for anyone looking for peace, nature, and a true wild camping experience.

The facilities are excellent considering how natural the setting is — clean toilets, showers, the option to have a campfire, wood available on site.
The hosts are incredibly kind and helpful. Our children loved it, especially having the freedom to explore the forest.

A big bonus was the lovely on-site shop and coffee bar — a cosy spot with great coffee, local produce, and friendly atmosphere. It really added to the whole experience and made mornings even better!

We will definitely be back! Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic nature adventure.

喜欢 The owner were very friendly and we loved the setting of the camping site: a peaceful meadow within the woods.

不喜欢 The toilets could have been freed up from spider webs and insects.

喜欢 Lovely host, very accommodating. Woods are great to explore and the kids loved the rope swings. Campfires allowed, good clean facilities and the shower block is A++ if you need it. Be prepared to load your stuff into a trolley and haul it to your pitch. We were fine with this, but it was hard work! (All part of the fun!). Make sure you pack wellies as long grass is wet in morning. Watch out for greedy crows.

喜欢 Beautiful campsite and clean facilities, despite it being so wet and muddy. Amazing surroundings! Loved the walks through the forest, and so peaceful! Friendly owner, nice little shop and cafe on site.

不喜欢 The only reason I can't give a full 5 stars is that the grass on the wild camping field was very long and meadow like, which made everything quite difficult as the weather was so wet, and tricky to see where was level to pitch the tent.
Its quite a trek from the car park to camping field as it says in the listing, but I defo underestimated how far it would feel whilst pulling heavy trolleys!
