2 nights at Pytingwyn Woods

Brilliant location and everything it was described as. Would definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

Absolutely stunning, we loved everything about it and Charlotte was so welcoming and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

My wife and my dog and I had the most amazing time at Charlotte's camp. The views were amazing and so was our host who greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the land. The firepit's and logs provided was an added bonus and we will definitely be returning very soon. All in all a 10/10 couldn't ask for much more. Thank You Charlotte

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

My 8 year old loves making dens and bases and has heard about wild camping that my wife and I used to do and wanted to do some himself. Since he isn’t quite up to a proper expedition at his age I went looking for a campsite where we could give him a taste of it and found this place. We camped in the woods within a few metres of the river. We cooked over fires and slept under a tarp shelter between trees, boiled water from the river and in his eyes lived in the wilderness for a couple of days. Just what we were after.

7 nights at Old Litten

I don’t know the words to recommend this site more! Charlotte is a superb host, she met us on site when we arrived and gave us a tour of the whole site. She was fantastic with the children and made sure they found the swing which they spent a lot of the week on. We stayed for 7 nights in this slice of heaven and were never disturbed. Charlotte messaged to check we were okay half way through the week. Absolutely beautiful scenery from our front window looking out across the valley. The walks through the Ashford hangers really get your legs working. So many great pubs to choose from as well, but you must check out the Cricketers on a Wednesday night with their stone oven pizzas! All the items you need for a fantastic back to nature stay here and we will be coming back for sure! Thank-you for an amazing holiday!

4 nights at Intake Farm

Beautiful location and set up. Ian was incredibly helpful. A hidden gem.

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

We had a lovely time. The campsite is great and the facilities clean. The views were amazing and there was lots of space. I would definitely recommend the site. Worth noting the check-in time is 5pm. We were a bit late but found everyone helpful. it could have been difficult to sort though if we hadnt lucked out. So make sure you speak to them!

1 night at Pytingwyn Woods

Weekend Trip to Pwllyn Farm Camping

Lovely camp spot with loads of handy facilities - if only they could control the weather!

Weekend Trip to Primrose Fields Campsite

Lovely and quiet, restful and well provisioned. Would go again.

2 nights at Abbey Home Farm

This was a great find and I had a lovely 2 nights at Abbey Farm! I was in a small van, the field for vans is at the top and surrounded by hedgerows, it is still lovely but without the amazing views you would have with a tent. The site is no vehicles which is totally understandable. Having walked around I can imagine the area with the pitches cut in the flower meadow will be absolutely stunning in a few weeks when the flowers come through! I sat there last night and watched the sunset, listening to the birds, the lambs, what’s not to love over the rolling hills! There were hares running around this morning too. There is a walk through the woods to the farm shop and cafe. The facilities were as described, the 2 showers were heated, they are in a wooden structure in the woods, but there is something quite nice about hearing the birds chirp away whilst your in the shower. The toilets are long drop composting loos, they were clean enough, and were cleaned whilst I was there, you will need your own loo roll and hand sanitiser though. It really is a gem of a campsite and one that I’ll definitely return to.

1 night at Old Litten

Amazing campsite - very private and quiet, amazing views of the South Downs, an absolute bargain. Charlotte’ a very warm and accomodating host. I can’t wait to come back!

4 nights at Pwllyn Farm Camping

Lovely friendly site. Plenty of space brilliant hosts. Good shop and fire pits available. Able to do numerous varied walks from the site.

Weekend Trip to Old Litten

Had an absolutely lovely long weekend at old litten site. Charlotte met us when we arrived and showed us around. Brilliant site, everything we needed for a nice break getting back to nature. There are lovely walks around the site and then longer walks around the downs. Beautiful sunsets in the evenings sat around the fire pit. This Is well worth the visit, we have already rebooked our next visit.

Weekend Trip to Intake Farm

I loved my stay, could have easily stopped a few more nights. I loved that the site was small, and camping in the woods reminded me of wild camping in Scotland last year, but with the security of a site. The hosts were lovely and I'll definitely be back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

Really lovely place to stay! Pity about the No dog policy but understand the reasons!

The Mushroom Farm Campsite

36 units · Glamping, Tents11 acres · Oakham, England

Authentic old school camping! Bring your own tent and stay in one our lovely private pitches. Our pitches are big enough to park your car and pitch a large family tent with plenty of space for sitting and BBQs. Our site is off grid so you will be provided with plenty of fresh water in containers. There are compost toilets dotted around the site which are cleaned daily and there is firewood and charcoal available to buy. We also have a little honesty shop selling a few bits and pieces that campers often forget to pack. The mushroom farm feels more like wild camping or a pioneers camp. It is not a manicured site so we recommend bringing an airbed for a comfortable sleep. But a positive you’ll be sharing it with wildlife – frequent visitors include songbirds, red kites, kestrels, owls, bats, lizards, frogs and toads, snakes, rabbits and hares, muntjac deer, mice, foxes, dragonflies, butterflies, moths and beetles… The camp is set on a mushroom farm with young trees and large areas left to rewild. This means flowering thistles and uneven ground so it may not be suitable for babies, very young children or people with health conditions. The 2025 camping season at the Mushroom farm is from Friday the 23rd of May until Sunday the 22rd of June. We are then closed for a few weeks but open again from Friday the 18th of July until Sunday the 17th of August.
