The creak of guy ropes in the breeze and the rustle of canvas underfoot — this is proper back-to-basics camping, the kind where you remember why you started doing this in the first place.

Woodlands welcomes both tents and campervans, making it a solid choice for anyone who wants simplicity over bells and whistles. Dog owners should ask ahead to confirm arrangements, and if you're keen on a campfire evening, check what's allowed when you arrive — policies vary and it's worth knowing before you pack the marshmallows. The lack of listed facilities suggests a more low-key, potentially rural setup, so come prepared.

Expect a straightforward, no-frills stay where the focus is on sleeping under canvas rather than entertainment or amenities. This is one for campers who pack what they need, enjoy their own company, and don't mind a bit of self-sufficiency. If you're after hot showers and electric hook-ups, double-check what's actually on offer before you book — but if you're after peace and a proper disconnect, you might just find it here.

London LOOP (Section 18)

Follows gentle terrain through Epping Forest's ancient woodland and open grassland, with occasional modest inclines around Chingford. Suitable for families with older children who can manage 6-7 miles, but uneven forest paths and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome throughout, though leads advised near grazing cattle at Barn Hoppitt. Worth doing for the stunning forest scenery, historic Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, and surprisingly wild feel so close to London.
