Wild woodland glamping in the heart of Sussex with fires

The team behind Wild Boar Wood Campsite take secrecy seriously. So seriously in fact, the exact location of this semi-luxury campsite is only revealed upon booking. And who could blame them for wanting to keep the location of this magnificent bell tent site under wraps? For after carefully making your way through the meandering country lanes of this particularly lovely corner of West Sussex, some secret instructions will lead you to the main five acre bluebell wood which you'll call home for the weekend and quite possibly never want to leave.

Having had special permission to reveal more, we can tell you that Wild Boar Wood is located right on the High Weald – a captivating Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that spreads across a vast stretch of Kent and Sussex. The woods and surrounding fields are home to a rich array of wildlife; from woodpeckers and butterflies to owls and deer. And, no matter which tent you find yourself snuggled away in at night, come morning, the dawn chorus is a thing to be remembered.

The nine bell tents tucked amongst the trees make for a cosy, hassle-free stay. Moreover, every aspect of your holiday has been considered with sustainability in mind; from the wood-fired showers and green-friendly shampoos, to the special eco loos that accompany the more ordinary flushing toilet type. It all gives the place a green edge that suits the type of 'wild glamping' they provide. But don't take our word for it, you'll have to go to find out…

2 perfect days
4 - 'Wild Glamping' Bell Tent - 'Wild Glamping' Bell Tent
Me and my boyfriend had 2 perfect days! Everything was just amazing, we stayed in a bell tent, there was the most precious forest near by that looked like a fairy tale scene. Wardens were absolutely gorgeous, the place works well, hot water, showers and toilets super clean, super equipped with anything you could possibly need, everyone was respectful of the rules. We went to buy meat and cheese from a nearby farm and it was stunning!!! We were lucky because the first night we were basically alone on camp and we had quiet and privacy, the second night the place was fully booked and it was only families with children. Lots of children 😄 After 10pm u need to be quieter and respectful. We didn’t mind, but obviously if you are looking to stay up super late and laugh and chat with friends maybe this is not the option for you :) The place is Queer friendly, there was a note on the site that specifically said the camp doesn’t tolerate any sort of discrimination for sexual orientation etc, which was one of the reason why I picked it, so we could feel safe. Overall just perfect for us! Next time we will be back and try the larger camp near the pine forest!! Thanks a lot for 2 of the most beautiful days we ever had ☺️

We had a lovely time camping and celebrating our little boys 2nd birthday. The steam train was really special and we loved our hosts who even left a birthday message for him on the chalkboard! We also were able to pay for the grandparents to visit for the day and celebrate with us. Although the campsite itself has a little walk with nice touches such as animal hunts, fairy doors, swings etc, the downside was we assumed there were longer walks directly from the site but you would need to drive somewhere else for this. However it did mean we found a really lovely place called lindfield which is worth a visit. I would also say pack layers as the tents do get cold at night! Would recommend as we had a great time.

The wardens were really helpful. The camp site is quite small but luckily not busy. We had an accident and damage the tarpaulin. The cost of replacement was very expensive. 4 times what id pay on amazon. We were told by the wardens that it should be fine but it wasn't and also we used a camp oven for one night. So the cost of the holiday was not cheap.

I was amazed at how great it was. After I was shown where everything is and my tent. I was left to my own devices. I had an ideal chilled night alone in the woods. Tip...., You will need more fire wood than you think.

Absolutely loved this place! Comfortable tents/beds, fab fire pits, lots of space between the few tents set up there. Being in the woods was perfect for camping and our toddler loved exploring, den building and tree climbing there. Great position for ashdown forest haffalump hunting and pooh Corner cafe.

We had a great stay! Directions to the location were very clear and it was not a big deal to take your belongings to the site by wheelbarrel. We had a lovely site right by the railway so that we could see the Bluebell go past each day. The tent was glorious with everything you might need. I loved the smaller wood burner to heat up water for your morning coffee which they have everything you need for that! Cooking on the fire was made easy with a grill provided. There is washing up facilities for you. Toilets were close by and always cleaned. You'll love the bucket shower. All in all, a lovely way to get out in nature that isn't too far a drive from London.

Our first glamping experience and we loved it. Being immersed in the woods with no digital distractions meant we spent time balancing/ walking along logs, waving at the steam train, playing cards, poking the fire and tending the rocket stove for no rush cuppas. Although we spent just 2 nights we feel as relaxed as if we had been away a week. The bucket showers were amazing- staring at the green canopy with a warm shower. The facilities were regularly cleaned and the hosts were warm and friendly. We all agreed we would love it do it again.

Once again I had the most wholesome stay at Wild Boar Wood! Such a gorgeous woodland with all the young green leaves coming out, blue bells flowering and insane birdsong in the mornings. The new wardens, Nikita and Suki, have done a marvellous job setting this place up again and looking after it and their campers. It's been such a pleasure and inspiration getting to know them a little. The bell tents are well equipped and so nice to wake up in. The facilities are great. Clean and functional. Bucket showers... BEST way to shower ever! Hot water from a tap or wood burner. It's just an all around lovely place to be. I will never get tired of watching the steam train on the bluebell railway chuffing past either. THANK YOU to the whole team at Pegs&Pitches for a memorable time. Will definitely be back! Have a great season x

We had a fantastic ‘wild glamping’ long weekend with another family here. It really feels like a hidden treasure in a secret woodland. We only left the campsite to do some food shopping nearby, embracing cooking on the fire with the Dutch ovens. The kids had a wonderful time just being ‘wild’ in the woods.

We just got back from 3 wonderful nights at the Wild Boar campsite. It’s such a special place and even the rain didn’t dampen our spirits! The communal areas feel Covid safe and I saw how thorough the staff were at cleaning the tents when people departed. Everything is very well thought through to make your stay perfect. Thank you so much, we will be back!

I took my Mum for 4 nights this Summer and had the best time!. The wood was stunning and the neighbours including the sheep were super friendly and welcoming. We felt very safe regarding covid protection and were finally able to relax and take a step away from hectic lives. The bell tent was stunning. We stayed in hornbeam which is one of the farther reaching tents and felt like we had our own little space that was private and quiet. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and happy to answer questions or just simply have a chat. We didn't travel far as we are local to Sussex but we felt like we were a world away ! They supply everything !! We came over prepared and didn't need too ! From cutlery to chairs, hammocks and storage they have you covered so all you need is food, sleeping covers and whatever you wish to do. We enjoyed watching kids collect bugs, go on night walks and play in the field. Everyday we waved at the bluebell train and the best part was nothing woke you at night because the train only goes daily and you are in a peaceful quiet country lane. Having a campfire was such a great experience and fun to do !. The bucket shower was incredible ! Invigorating, fun and even warm ! With a little effort you can have a really fun experience. Do come with wellies or hiking boots as when it rains, it can get muddy but your private quarters dry very quickly and everything is covered so even if it rains, you still can have a campfire and sit and play games. Such a wonderful and healing experience. We now we come every year to just take some time to ourselves.

We had such a wonderful time at the Wild Boar Campsite. Steffi and her team are very welcoming and came to meet us at the car park and show us to your tent. It was almost like being at an airbnb! The tent was extremely clean, beds were very comfy for us and our 2 year old who slept on the fold out bed provided. It is very handy to have all the kitchen equipment and your own space with shelter to cook and have a fire. The site only has 9 pitches so it is very small but private at the same time with a field next door for children to play there is also a small hut with toys and books to borrow. Warm water is avaliable throughout the day with extra hot water for bucket showers. In terms of location there are lots of nice pubs nearby, the bluebell railway literally runs along the bottom of the site so you can see it every day. Wakehurst and Sheffield Park are close by too for trips out. We will definitely be coming back.

'Wild Glamping' Bell Tent - 7049
We booked one night as a spur of the moment retreat from the city, and it was perfect! Lovely and peaceful, very friendly welcome and very thoughtful in terms of the facilities and gear provided (including walking maps, first aid kit, all the cooking utensils you need) making it a brilliant choice for a last minute getaway as all you need is bedding. Definitely staying longer next time, thank you!

Had a fab time with our toddler who didn't want to leave. We only live ten mins away but felt a world away, surrounded by wildlife. Can't wait for our next stay

'Wild Glamping' Bell Tent - 7049
Extremely welcoming staff, accommodation on a par with the best bell tent set ups, well stocked supplies (wood, wine, marshmallows) and a true back to nature feel with bucket showers but the Best Bit for us was letting the kids run free safe on the knowledge they were safe and making friends. Truly excellent family camping option for those looking for a rustic experience without the fear of turning the camping in to an endurance event! Thanks Stefi for making our stay spot on!

'Wild Glamping' Bell Tent - 7049
We stayed for the bank holiday weekend with our 15mo toddler, he loved the freedom of exploring the pathways & particularly liked wandering to the ‘shop’ to borrow a tractor from the toy box The bluebells were fabulous, the tents are enormous and it was fantastic to have a travel cot waiting for us- one less thing to pack! Everything is super clean, the bucket showers were hot and lasted a good 5 minutes. All the equipment is provided including firewood. If it’s chilly pack an extra duvet and a hot water bottle Steffi is the perfect host-thanks for a great weekend, it felt so good to be outdoors again!

From the host
We think there’s something magical about Wild Boar Wood, our off-grid glamping site in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in West Sussex. The campsite has just nine bell tents in a woodland that is filled with bluebells and birdsong in springtime. Den building is allowed, campfires are encouraged and waving at the steam trains passing on The Bluebell Railway is practically obligatory. Tent pitch camping is available at sister site, Beech Estate Campsite. Tents will fit a couple comfortably or two adults and up to four kids. Inside, you’ll find comfortable beds, carpet, coffee table and lantern. The bell tents are the perfect camping tent with the 2.9 metre height allowing enough room to stand up in. These 5 metre diameter tents are also raised on decking with an outside annex. Each tent comes with its own cooking implements, cool box, bbq tools, chairs, table and tableware. Outside the tents you’ll find an open fire and grill for cooking. We also have covered communal fire areas. Unique gas-fired bucket shower system and flushing toilets are also provided. Please note: the campsite is off grid and so has NO ELECTRICITY. We won't be the right place for you if you're after hot tubs and butler service, but if you are looking for a back to nature experience with campfires we're the perfect place for back to nature, screen free, relaxing breaks. We do ask for all groups to please contact before booking - so we can share our group rules, and ensure we can place you all close together.
Nearby attractions

Wild Boar Wood is located right on the High Weald— a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Ashdown Forest is also close to the site and is famously known as the home of Winnie the Pooh. This stunning area has an enviable array of walks and cycle routes and, should you wish to explore in a more laid-back way, the Bluebell Railway is a charming steam locomotive that travels from Sheffield Park to East Grinstead. The Capability Brown designed Sheffield Park and Garden is well worth a visit and can be reached by car in about 10 mins. Borde Hill, one of the country's most magnificent gardens, is around 5 mins drive away. Other attractions include Heaven Farm and the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum. If its restaurants, shops and nightlife you seek, boho beach town Brighton is only a 30 min drive away.

Food and drink

There is no shop on sight but some excellent pubs and farm shops are within walking distance. The most notable of these is the award-winning High Weald Dairy; why not take part in one of their cheese-making courses? There are two great pubs within a mile and a half of Wild Boar Wood. The Sloop Inn is a traditional Sussex pub serving up classic pub fayre using locally sourced produce. The Green Man in Horsted Keynes is the quintessential English pub— right on the village green.
