About the site
Enjoy sleeping under the stars on a rugged, back-to-basics campsite. Located just 40 minutes from London (with the option to come without a car) and nestled among grassy glades and mature woodlands, it offers the ultimate natural getaway location. The site is peaceful and secluded in spite of being conveniently close to the M25 and the urban capital. Hang a hammock, test your survival skills and do something completely unique with your weekend or holiday - and learn something cool with the bushcraft courses and adrenaline activities on offer. Pitches are spacious and set in wild surroundings, with no electric available on site. Each riverside pitch can take approximately three two-person tents plus a permanent fire pit, plus there are a couple of large riverside spots for up to ten campers. Woodland pitches fit the glade around them and offer space for you to swing a hammock between the trees. For those wanting a bit of added luxury, there are also safari tents on offer, where all you need to pack is bedding, clothes and food! The tent sleeps five with a double bed and a triple bunk bed. Inside is a settee, a table and chairs. There is also a kitchenette equipped with various cooking utensils and a kettle. Outside is a veranda with some outdoor seating and a BBQ, perfect for cooking up a tasty diner. The site accepts children 12 years+ with adult supervision.
The site is open for weekends from 4th April until 29th September.

Very nice campsite. Large, flat, grassed riverside pitches with plenty of space. Each riverside pitch has its own fire pit and benches. Drinking water available and the long drop toilets were too smelly. Other campers were friendly and courteous. Will definitely visit again.
Lovely stay
