The creak of Scots pine and the soft rustle of bracken underfoot — Broadstone Warren sits deep in Ashdown Forest, where wood smoke drifts through ancient heath and the air smells of resin and damp earth.
This is a Scout camp first and foremost, so availability for the general public may be limited, but it welcomes tents and campervans when space allows. Forest Row sits on the edge of Ashdown Forest, Winnie-the-Pooh country, with miles of sandy paths and open heathland perfect for dog walkers and families who want proper woodland adventure. Worth ringing ahead if you're not part of a group — and definitely ask about dogs before you pack the lead.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so expect a back-to-basics setup rather than shower blocks and electric hookups. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, which usually means yes in a firepit, no on the open ground — but confirm when you book. The vibe here is quiet, wooded, and properly off-grid, ideal if you want to disappear into the forest for a night or two without fuss.
