The scent of leaf mould and wild garlic rises from the woodland floor as you pitch beneath a canopy that filters the daylight into shifting pools of green and gold.

This is a site for campers who want to feel properly tucked away — tent campers and those in campervans who don't mind keeping things simple and asking ahead if you're bringing a dog. The facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth checking what's available when you book, but the woods themselves are the real draw here. If you're the sort who values birdsong over blow-dryers, this'll suit you well.

Expect a back-to-basics vibe where the trees do most of the talking. Campfires may be possible depending on conditions — worth asking on arrival rather than assuming — so pack a torch and a decent sleeping bag. It's the kind of spot where you wake to the tap of rain on canvas and the rustle of something small in the undergrowth, and that's exactly the point.
