Earth Camp was a great place to pitch a tent and relax for a lovely weekend outdoors. The facilities are solid and the pizzas on Saturdays are excellent value for money. Certain parts of the field are a bit sloped, so make sure to arrive early to get the best pick of the pitches!

Not Quite the “Earth Camp” We Hoped

Camping or campervan pitch
A beautiful area, but sadly this camp was a big disappointment. While it labels itself eco-friendly, it felt more like that meant “economical” for the owners. The site is on a steep slope, so level pitches are few, especially for campervans. The best pitches are in the woods—but inaccessible due to the terrain . Toilets and showers were far too few for the number of campers, and the compost toilets were honestly the worst we’ve come across—no sawdust, just a pit of waste, loo roll, flies, and a terrible smell. We’ve stayed at many true eco sites, and this doesn’t compare. The “fairy garden” was more laughable than magical and nothing like the website depicts. We also witnessed children regularly urinating in nearby bushes. We reported it to the owner, who did nothing. These weren’t just toddlers either—just lazy parenting and a lack of site oversight. On paper, this camp promises a lot. In reality, it felt like a poorly maintained site using the eco-label as an excuse for low standards. We left disappointed and won’t return.

We had such a wonderful experience at Will and Rachel's camp. The attention to detail beautiful scenery, landscape and night sky were just breathtaking. There is a real sense of connection with nature and the feeling of freedom. Will was so accommodating, welcoming and happy to share some the history of the camp (which gives you a connection to the lands) Can't wait for the warmer weather to visit again

Fab stay at Earth Camp for the weekend. Perfect site with lovely mix of meadow and woodlands, great facilities and bonus of coffee trucks, pizza truck and for those who wanted morning yoga and sauna. Perfect place for the small ones (and furry ones) to run wild, make friends and for us all to make wonderful memories. We will definitely be back. Thanks, Will, Rachel and Solly for the hospitality.

AMAZING campsite! We pitched in the woodlands and it was beautiful, almost felt like wild camping but with the benefits of having hot showers, toilets and washing up stations. We did a big walk and ended up in a pub in Newick, and then walked back to the campsite - so if you don’t want to get in the car once you’re there, you don’t have to. Will was super communicative and helpful from start to finish - couldn’t recommend this campsite enough.

A beautiful tree-lined site out in the wilds but very well kept and only a half hour walk through fields to a choice of three pubs. Loved the compost toilets. Hosts were on hand and very friendly and helpful. Would be a great place to bring an extended family for kids to play together in the field, games provided.

Earth Camp is a fantastic site, we really enjoyed our stay. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy such as badminton, table tennis, the fairy woods and a number of others! It's a quiet and peaceful place to put up your tent and just relax. The site feels very remote, there's lots of wildlife to watch and woodland to explore. Great views over the hills as well. The facilities and entire site is well kept with two sets of compost toilets, hot showers and a number of sink stations, everything you could need. Rachel is very friendly and a great host, thank you for having us!

Camping or campervan pitch
We stayed for two nights in a VW camper van plus three tents for our kids, and room for our dog. The site is very picturesque with lots of lovely walks through fields and forest. We walked 30 mins to Newick for a pint at the lovely Royal Oak (there are two other pubs in Newick that we could see so plenty of options). The site itself is very well maintained with clean composting toilets, amazing hot showers and things for the kids to do too. Our kids are teens so the badminton, football goal and various frisbees and other stuff were great to keep them busy between walks and campfires!. The site owner Will is super helpful and was attentive to all of our needs, going out of his way to make sure we had a good camp. Thank you Will and thank you Earth Camp!!

My favourite campsite yet - I love everything about Earth Camp, from picking my own pitch, the delicious pizzas on Sat night, the best hot showers in the woods, the clean and lovely smelling eco loos, my dog being able to enjoy her camping experience off lead, interesting and considerate fellow campers, lovely and friendly hosts (Will & Rachel), dark skies for stargazing, fire pits, the woods, the fairy garden and the list goes on. Thank you for making this magical and enchanting space available to the public. I’ll see you again next year 😍😍😍

Camping or campervan pitch
Will was very helpful and friendly and made it easy to communicate with him, the location was good, the showers we nice and hot and water pressure was good but they were made of chipboard that soaked up the water and we’re starting to go mouldy, a different finish is needed, there’s a lovely Forrest road leading to the site, we found a nice place to go kayaking and plenty of walking trails in the area however we wouldn’t choose to stay here again because it’s pretty expensive for what you get, it’s an open field and very slopey unless you get one of the pitches tucked away in the woodland at the bottom of the site or in the top corner of the field, obviously these are chosen first. One of the main things we weren’t happy about were the toilets, my partner stayed at a campsite in Suffolk recently for £10 a night and the compost toilets didn’t smell and were much more pleasant, at earth there is no sawdust provided. The poo and wee dividers inside the toilet weren’t suitable because they were to high up so when you sat on the loo you were at extreme risk of quite an unhygienic situation. This made us not want to go to the toilet, if your going to do composting loos you need to get it right! Because there are no bins on site you have to take away all your rubbish with you making it very hard to recycle with doesn’t fit with the eco name. Overall we just don’t think it had the right feel or provision for £30 a night so we would try somewhere else in the future.

Great little spot......& such great value when you consider what is provided free if charge. Compo loos, toilet rolls aplenty,loofahs, sponges, bio degradable shampoos & great showers that, if anything, were a little too hot ! I will add that the lovely Will offered to adjust the temperature - I just had to ask. A very peaceful spot & all campers on my visit were very respectful & considerate of others. All in all a very nice, relaxed two 2 day stay. I would definitely recommend & will be returning myself before the season ends. Good work guys.

We really loved the peace and quiet - pitches well spaced out - campsite was spotlessly clean. Warm showers and clean compost loo - at all times. Will was the perfect host! The campsite is very pretty, kids loved the rope swings and fairy garden. A really nice weekend in a very nice spot! Sun shone all weekend it was just perfect! Thanks heaps
