Wild Boar Wood Campsite

We came here last year and it was unbelievably amazing. We had the best experience and it's still up there as my all time favourite holiday with kids. We cooked on a fire (which makes everything taste even better) we had all the pots, plates, cups everything you would need provided, the toilets and shower were clean, no complaints. The family looking after the camp were so lovely as well. Have recommended to anyone that has uttered the words "camping"

Stayed here with my boyfriend for two nights over a weekend and it was great! The site is set within a small woodland just off a quiet road. The bell tent was very spacious especially for two of us, comprising of a memory foam mattress, spare fold out futons, a cool box and water container and then all of the cooking stuff. Don't forget that you have to bring your own bedding!

There were great provisions on our pitch with all the stuff for cooking that you might need. We really appreciated being placed in one of the outer tents away from families with lots of children. What really impressed us is how welcoming the place is - Steffi seems genuinely excited and happy to be working there and there are so many lovely touches around the camp. There is a lovely little hut with snacks (including vegan marshmallows which was amazing!), wines, extra fire pit things, foraged leaf teas, walking guides and even an order board for the local cheese from the dairy up the road! You can use the honesty box or pay Steffi directly for these items in cash.

There are two WCs and a urinal, two bucket showers and a kitchenette with washing up facilities and spare pots and pans etc. All of which are very clean given their 'outdoorness' which shows how well everyone tries their best to leave facilities clean for others. There is hot water available by either gas boiler on tap or between 9-10am a furnace is lit to heat up water - perfect if you want your bucket shower extra hot!

Overall, it was such a relaxing break and perfect for everyone, especially families!

Such a beautiful campsite. The forest makes for the perfect shelter leaving the campsite quiet and cosy! Tents are always immaculate and the cooking equipment is fab- never missing anything. The people who run the campsite are always friendly and welcoming. We absolutely love it here and have been three years in a row. Easter is a lovely time to visit as the bluebells come out around that time and the woodland floor is full of them! Also, the bucket showers were fabulous fun and I actually felt super clean after them. Can’t recommend this place enough!

My sister, thirteen month old twin daughters and I had the most magical time - it was even better than we had hoped!

The lady looking after the campsite was incredibly friendly and helpful, our tent was gorgeous (and had travel cots set up in it for £3 each extra, which was so handy), as were the surroundings...and my girls loved being carted around in a wheelbarrow, their 5am hangout with the sheep, and the general ambience!

And there are so many brilliant daytrips nearby, we need to come back for a week so we can explore some more of them! We especially loved the Llama Park :)

Highly recommend this place for anyone who's keen to take little ones for their first camping adventure!

Our dream camping trip. We saw and heard some fantastic wildlife and the kids ran wild. The wood is so beautiful and serene, and I feel like I have taken a little piece of it away in my heart. The balance between nature and convenience was exactly right for us - the washing up, toilets and showers are all clean and pleasant to use without taking away from the back to nature experience. Steffi was so helpful and friendly and patient with the little ones. We can't wait to come back.

Our first time camping and it was a great way to start. The bell tents were spacious and clean. When we arrived a camp warden was on hand to help us. It was so much fun lighting the fire and cooking over it, then snuggling up for the night and being so close to nature. There are covered communal cooking areas for if it rains. As a first time camper I'd say take a really, really warm sleeping bag plus sleeping bag liner plus double pyjamas as the nights are so cold even in summer! And the mornings are crisp too! Take plenty of torches or those head torches as there is no light at night - so if you wake up needing the loo, you need a torch to find your way there and back! There is fire wood provided and matches and if you run out, you can buy more on site (cash only). It's wonderful being in the trees, hearing the sounds of birds and sheep and other families having a wild, fun time. There was truly something magical about the place, seeing the fires through the trees at night.

This campsite is truly the most beautiful retreat. Lots of luxury comforts whilst still having small touches that makes it feel like an authentic outdoors experience. We particularly enjoyed the ‘bucket showers’ which are cool little contraptions that are good camping fun but still far from basic, with staff ensuring you have plenty of lovely warm water to operate them with. Could not recommend more!

This is a wonderful place for family camping - giving you the right degree of 'wild' and 'glamping' so both kids and adults can enjoy the experience. We've been twice with a few families and always had a brilliant time. The setting is a small wood in Sussex, with the atmospheric Bluebell steam train running close by (and much loved by the kids. There are only 9 tents so it's small and the camp wardens are on hand to help with any queries or issues. I really couldn't recommend it more highly. The tents are comfortable, you're provided with most of the things you need (bar bedding / food and drink) and you have access to clean toilet facilities, brilliant bucket showers, and the beautiful countryside. The kids can (safely) be left to their own devices while the adults switch off and chill out (and perhaps digital detox). A great break from the routine of normal life - you'll all return tired but exhilarated
