Wildlife-watching campsites in Wyre Forest

Name: Wyre Forest
Address: Camping
Rating: 4.791

Welcome to one of England’s most important spreads of oak wood and its largest forest NNR, set just beyond the western edge of the Midlands’ urban sprawl. Wyre Forest, its tree cover all designated either an NNR or SSSI, is a favourite for woodsy walks, running, gentle cycling, horse riding, and its Go Ape centre treetop ropes course. The best camping can be found along the southern edge, either at Bewdley or just beyond the main entrance. The forest is conveniently positioned for exploration by train too, with Severn Valley’s Bewdley, Northwood Holt, and Arley stations all flanking its eastern edge.

Monmouth, Wales · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes

If you’re lucky, you’ll catch at least one of the breathtaking sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth. If not, there’s always a stunning view of rolling hills all around. At night, the skies become a dazzling canvas of stars under one of Wales' official Dark Sky Reserves. This family-run camping field on our laid-back livestock farm is full of rustic charm. Pitch wherever feels right—tent or camper van. Dogs welcome but must always be kept on a lead and cleaned up after (dog waste bin on site, otherwise we are a leave no trace site and you should take your rubbish home with you). This year, we’re introducing the “Missing Camper Trail” hidden in the woodland—can you find Colin? You’ll also find a new zip line and a slackline for adventurers big and small. Mud Café and den building are still here, along with teddy bears scattered through the woods—no official trail, just hidden friends to find. Also new this season - a handcrafted washing-up area built by Farmer Ben from wood right off our farm. Coming soon: We’re hoping for showers this season, but we’ll update when they’re up and running. Wild camping here means no electricity—just two lovely compost loos and a covered cold-water tap. So bring your guitar, light a fire, and soak up the simplicity... The way camping was intended.

Welshpool, Wales · 10 units · Tents, Motorhomes

Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination.

The location is beautiful with stunning sunset! I really like that every tent spot is far enough from the other so we have privacy. Also the fact that every spot has been levelled and with a fire pit is amazing! We spent the summer solstice there and we had a delightful time!

A lovely site with all the amenities you could need, showers, toilets, communal kitchen/bbq area, hookup and water. Lovely hosts with a peaceful site, on our last morning our host made a lovely full English for us which was brilliant! Everything we needed they accommodated for (we forgot our gas tube and they let us borrow theirs too). A truly lovely place, will be returning.

1 night at Fire and Stars Woodland Camping

Loved it at fire and stars! Really beautiful campsite, wonderful for families. Just the right level of wildness and 'no frills', whilst still having good facilities. Our family loved it. Our 5 year old was in her element. Loooooved camping amongst the trees, a big site to walk around the young woodland too. Thank you so much!

Weekend Trip to Gwersyllt Rhos y Gallt Campsite

Everything about here is what we wanted. The 2 showers are very clean. The 2 toilets are very clean. There is a room with a fridge, microwave and sink ect which is very clean. The grounds are VERY well kept. Not a huge campsite which is perfect for what we wanted... although you have the option of camping in the joining field were the sheep are too! The river running along side the field was so lovely too! ( bring a couple of little rods as there are fish). The owners are lovely too! They pop down each day to check in and make sure you have everything you need. When we first arrived our electric adaptor wasn't working so without hesitation John offered us to borrow his for the weekend. Couple of things to make note of.. the showers are on a £1 per 5 minutes ( wasn't a problem for us as a family of 5). There isn't a local shop but there is a large tesco 25 minutes down the road (although the lady next to us got a Morriston food order delivery the night she arrived which we will be doing next time) Its a dark campsite at night so make sure you bring your torches and put up your fairy lights ❤️

Great stay over the bank holiday weekend. Lovely flat site that was really well maintained throughout our stay. We were greeted by John with the fire pit we had ordered, along with a large tray of logs — plenty for a full evening around the fire. The toilets were cleaned and maintained daily, and the whole site had a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. There are also some great walks along the river nearby which made it even better. Would definitely recommend — 5 stars!

Weekend Trip to Wolford Wood Camping & Cabins

We thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip at Wolford Wood. Marcus and Petra made us feel welcome throughout the duration of our stay. They even offered late checkout, which was really appreciated. The campsite borders Wolford Wood, which is excellent for a relaxing woodland walk and birdwatching. We were able to select our own pitch, which is great if you want privacy. The campsite is 5 minutes from Moreton-in-Marsh, which has great restaurants and quirky shops. Highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Pentwyn Dingle and Lodge Field Camp

A lovely campsite with a very nice host. We arrived with our self converted camper for the weekend to trial it out- we had no idea our van had the wrong type of electric hookup port on the van but our host kindly helped us with extension leads etc. which was very generous otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to stay! The field is lovely, peaceful and everyone is so respectful. It’s quiet and friendly

Martin is a very good host knows how to make people get the most out of there time on his site. He’s very helpful and a great bloke to have a chat with. The campsite is perfect for a weekend getaway with the choice of a more woodland style campsite or for the family a wider more open field camp. Cheers Martin

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

A lovely place to stay, facilities are excellent and the views are really good on whichever pitch you decide upon, with 3 options you have a choice of car camping, an open field or a wild flower meadow...fantastic. The Organic farm shop and cafe serve and sell some excellent produce and is a great place to relax, the staff are friendly and very helpful. My only gripe were the other campers, as it's a free pitch area you can set up where you like which is fantastic until it gets busy then some people with no respect for others privacy or space squeeze themselves in-between those who have already set up reducing the enjoyment slightly and your experience. My suggestion would be to add a 10 metre distance rule to those pitching up besides those that are already there to avoid any unpleasant situations. We had someone park/pitch pretty much next door to us with multiple pitches available in the same field which was disappointing. Overall I would highly recommend it but I would advise to get there early in the better weather.

Absolutely love this place and its surroundings! Took my eldest daughter and 2 of her friends for their first proper camping trip and they loved it. Nice walks along the river and the lakes and waterfalls all within an hours drive made a super weekend for us! John was great also, greeting us with a fire pit and firewood for the stay. The neighbours, who are regulars, were absolutely lovely too.

Wyre Forest camping guide

Where to go

Bewdley

Bewdley, hanging off Wyre Forest’s southeast corner, is the nearest community and a long-serving tourist destination on the River Severn. It’s well-known for its riverfront Georgian houses and iconic 1798 bridge designed by Thomas Telford. Several grand country house estates can also be seen while heading south to Stourport-on-Severn. To see the area’s natural beauty, the Severn’s best stretch for canoeing runs between Bridgnorth and Bewdley, and it’s an easy walk on pretty paths into Wyre Forest from town. Bewdley also boasts access to a number of family-friendly campsites and glamping sites.

Visitor Centre & the South Side

The main entrance into Wyre Forest is two miles west of Bewdley. This is the nexus of forest activity with a café, three way-marked walking trails, running trails, cycling routes, and bridleways alongside the visitor centre. The most interesting trail loops north around an arboretum, which hosts the unusual whitty pear among many other species. Camping awaits a short distance along the road from the main forest entrance toward Far Forest.

River Severn & the East Side

The eastern borderlands of the forest are framed by the River Severn, where the best stretch of kayaking on the UK’s longest river beckons, plus the long-distance Severn Way (east bank) and Geopark/North Worcestershire Ways (west bank). There are some excellent riverside campsites perfectly poised for forest forays as well—search for the best spots in the Bewdley area or near Pound Green.

Buttonoak, Earnwood Copse, and the North Side

Wyre Forest’s northern portion is less crowded, and forest-ensconced Buttonoak makes the best all-round base, with a pub and camping at nearby Pound Green. Just northwest of here, the car park at Earnwood Copse serves as a good launch point for hitting the woodsy trails. It’s also the north of the forest that has most of the NNR-designated and most ecologically important forest.
