Eco off grid woodland
Great spot! The field was clean, the views were awesome, and the host was friendly. I’d come back!

Plenty of space where you’re pretty much left to your own devices. Portaloo in close proximity which was immaculate. You can pick your own pitch either in the wood, the field or next to the lake. We absolutely loved it. A great place to sit round the fire pit, listen to music, sink a beer and reminisce the good times. I found it the perfect place to decompress and forget the outside world! Took paddle boards and a kayak for a day down at Paper Mill Lock and it was perfect. Well worth a visit. £5 for all day parking, tea room and ice cream stall. The place was buzzing!! Tim’s land was the perfect base camp. Bravo Tim!!

Awesome to be able to forage your own wood and have a fire pretty much anywhere you like. Tim was very friendly and laid back. A few decent options to pitchup in a field or woods. Heads up no wild swimming there any more as stream has silted up but is still a natural spring there though and some incredbile old oak trees. Tim recommend the River Stour as a paddleboarding spot which was great and 30mins ish drive away. Subbury, henny or Bures all good for getting on the river if you that way inclined

Great for wild camping! We were very lucky to have the woodland area to ourselves as it was really hot.

We loved our stay here! There were no other campers so had the place to ourselves (3 mums with children from 2 to 10 years old). We decided to camp in the woodland area because it was very hot (32 degrees on the second day!), I think we had gone home had we not had this sheltered woodland, it was perfect there and our 3 tents (4 people tents + a 2 person tent) fitted just right with space for our tables, picnic mat and kitchen area in the middle. The field looked great and it was closer to the stream, where the water soure was, so it would be fab for a not so hot stay. The woodland had a little path that led to a swing in a tree and the sheltered area where the water hose and shower cubicle were had another swing. The shower was just a bucket that you can heat up with fire as mentioned but it isn't high or anything, you'll have to scoop water from it to wash yourself. Since it was hot we just used cold water. We made fire every night in the field and it was great to see the trees gave some shade over the fire pit from around 5pm! There was a big woodland to explore too but since it was too hot we didn't dare to leave our sheltered area! The kids roamed around between the woodland, the stream and the toilet, which was in a caravan garden (nobody was there), opposite Tim's house. He also had some pigs and piglets. The piglets roamed around the field and we saw them a few times (so cute!). It was great to be able to give them all our food waste! We will be back, thank you Tim!

I loved camping in the copse of trees and the kids loved it too. It was serene, relaxing and a great break away from the hustle and bustle of life. Thank you so much for opening up your home for us to enjoy. I enjoyed my early morning cuppa listening to the birdsong, I suspect twitchers would have a field day.

i am no stranger to wild camping , however charging £54 for a campervan and a dog, is quite frankly outrageous. I do not expect cut grass and certainly dont wish to stay on white motorhome sites, but this place did not merit the price at all. The spring was an old hose in a ditch, the shower was filthy and decrepid and there were two old caravan sinks for the water supply, which were also really dirty. Im sure the host is a lovely guy, and the land was nice and i could see how the top wood was a lovely place to pitch a tent, but either lower your prices or clean the place up. Also the dogs barked all night. we wildcamp when we can, but also stay on lots of eco sites and I was really disappointed with this one, way way too much money for what there was. I hate leaving bad reviews, the host did respond on booking and explain what we needed to know, but I wouldnt recommend I'm afraid

Tim at Wethersfield Eco Project was very helpful with places to see and visit. The site itself is just what I needed to 'unplug' even if for a few hours. My trip did get cut short due to a silly issue. I brought my best friend Ethy with me and I think she enjoyed her stay too as she really didnt want to get back in the van to get home!
I hope I can visit again with no interruption (busy life) and properly explore! A green green joy saved to my camping list! Thanks so much!

This place seems very decrepit. It’s wild camping with no services, and we paid £40 for one night, which seemed extreme. The grass field we camped in has not been mowed, which was the minimum we have experienced at other places in the UK. The setting was very pleasant, though, and the location was close enough to London to be useful for us.

I can't recommend this campsite more! If you are looking for a trip as close to wild camping then this is the place for you. I stayed in the wooded area but there were so many pitch spaces to pick from. It is so peaceful and is great to have big groups of friends as the communal area is amazing! Also there are wild pigs which are so cute..
