What customers say
Highly recommended, peaceful woodland site for a wild camp. Guests love the friendly hosts, secluded pitches, and nature connection. Basic but clean facilities add to the off-grid charm. Ideal for quiet relaxation, a back-to-basics escape. Great for families & solo travellers.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Rosehip wood wild camping is exactly that no frills back to basics camping the site is well maintained and the pitch i had was spacious plenty for my one man camp.
Juliet messaged me on the day of my booking to arrange the drop off of my logs and get me settled in for the night much appreciated Juliet thank you, anyone who expects the commercial facilities this is not the site for you this is wild camping not Glamping.
I enjoyed my stay yes the dawn chorus will possibly wake you but its not that bad to be fare, would i return yes most definitely its a little gem of a site many thanks to the owners for allowing us the use of your land to camp on.
Prices are i find extremely fare and absolutely no complaints from me on that front

Liked Beautiful campsite, basic and wild in all the best ways. Nice private nooks created by the trees. Great value. Juliet and Jacob were both very helpful and welcoming, was also handy to be able to buy wood for the fire pit. We’ll be back!

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Quiet, great place for kids to play, the owner explained all the fruit we could forage and offered up some great recommendations for activities. The apples left in a basket were also very tasty. The table and chairs at the campsite made it extra comfortable. The campsite itself had a curated range of different trees available.
Disliked Nothing, it was exactly what was expected for a wild campsite, composting toilet and all.

Not worth the money - wouldn’t recommend or stay again.
Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Has the potential to be really nice. Small area of woodland with little nooks for (smaller) tents. No noise from traffic. Get the real ‘off grid’ experience.
Location is good if you’re happy driving, but no shops or pubs etc to walk to.
Disliked -Toilet. Only 1 on the day we arrived with a second one cobbled together the following day.
-Host quite peculiar as to where you can pitch. There are no pitch numbers and we were told ‘to pitch where comfortable’ but then the host proceeded to come and tell us specifically where she wanted to squeeze us (and every other camper she had that weekend) to set up camp. The size of pitch advertised is not reflective of what you get. We were a party with 4 separate bookings, and were not able to have 4 pitches of space.
-Loud cockerels next door. Don’t mind a bit of country/farmyard noise but the 4:30 wakeups each morning followed by screeching for 2+ hours was somewhat unnecessary.
-Seemed expensive for what you get. The lack of facilities is fine if that’s what you’re going for, but should be apparent in the price.

From the manager: Before we opened this campsite this spring I had absolutely no idea how much hard work running it would be! Therefore I can forgive your comment that this campsite is not worth the money because you are unaware of the huge effort that myself and my family put in behind the scenes. One thing I hadn't anticipated was managing the rubbish. Because we are a campsite that is conscious of the environment we feel that recycling is important. Despite having separate bins for land fill and recycling most of the rubbish left by campers is all mixed together so we spend a lot of time going through it and taking out the cans and bottles. The cost to camp could be lowered were people to take their waste home with them.
The temporary extra toilet has now been replaced by a toilet that my husband built himself. Many people have appreciated the design of our simple and basic compost toilets.
It is very unusual that our campsite is at full capacity and we now have reduced the number of pitches available to be booked.
