Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: Facilities were very good, liked the privacy of our own separate pitch in the woods.
Disliked: No rubbish bins and only allowed to buy wood from the campsite and not allowed to bring your own. Aggressive pricing if you pay their direct price, although discounted on pitch up for our stay.

Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked: We loved our pitch site in the woods. It was large and flat, and at night it was completely dark. The only noises we heard were from the owls. There were trees between each pitch and you could get quite far from other campers. It felt like we were camping on our own land. We also loved how close the campsite was to a number of fantastic trails for day hikes as well as to go in to the village.
Disliked: The sink drains in the bathroom need to be cleaned out. Water was backing up in them. The campsite fee was higher than others in the area, but we felt it was worth it.
