Traditional camping in our 10 acre broadleaved woodland. Located in Oakworth in the heart of the Bronte countryside. Family friendly, you can feel safe knowing cars are only permitted in the car park so your children can run free within the woodland. Park up in the carpark near the site entrance then grab your gear and the staff will guide you to a suitable pitch for your requirements. Wheelbarrows are available to help carry your gear through the woods. Love nature? Then you’ll love this site. It’s back to basics proper camping here! We have a drinking water standpipe, we now have flushing toilets and hand wash sinks in our new toilet block. Our pitches are well spaced from one another and well sized, however, smaller tents (and/or hammocks) are recommended as our whole site is woodland there are trees within pitch areas, so we only have limited places to put large tents. Please tell us your tent size when booking so that we can get the best pitch for you. Dogs welcome. Fires allowed. We do a fire induction with everyone and charge for a fire licence, this includes if you want to bring your own firepit and wood. The reason for this is to manage the risk of forest fires and damage to the ecology so we need to put you on a suitable pitch if you wish to have a fire. We are doing all we can to improve the ecology of the woodland, so for this reason there is no burning of deadwood allowed, as rotting wood (big logs and little sticks) are fabulous for the woodland ecology.

Woodland floor Pitch - Small Tents

Had a great couple of nights at Woodsworth camp, they do a great job taking care of the woodland and it certainly shows. Very peaceful sat by the fire at night and plenty of wildlife to observe, specially the birds, can’t beat waking up in the tent to the dawn chorus and the busy woodpeckers! Plenty of space between the pitches and the basic facilities are nice and clean, can’t ask for much more 👍🏼 Cheers

Camping in the woods

It’s a great place pretty much wild camping in the woods and nature with the added bonus of taking a few extra comforts, I would highly recommend if it if you want to have a taste of wild camping but want to feel safe. Duncan the owner was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and trees lovely guy.

Great place, I would recommend it. Unfortunately it has been raining a lot and the ground was very wet and soft. Good experience overall. Thank you

Woodland floor Pitch - Small Tents

This was the first time staying at the site, as a way to get back into wild camping and trying out a new tent as it was only an hour away for us. The site is clean and has the bare essentials such as a flushing toilet block by the carpark and running water. The pitch we stayed on was about 400m from this through very muddy path into a wooded area. I would recommend taking wellies during the wet months. The pitch was good and spacious for us and was dog friendly and allowed dogs to be off lead which is a nice change :) The guy who did our introduction was helpful and assisted us with directions to walk into Howarth for the day (40mins approx) we did however get the B2 bus back to Oakworth which left only a short walk back to the campsite. I would deffo say pack light going to site despite there being wheelbarrows available to cart your things. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try and get into wild camping but still keeping that toilet facilities and fresh water near by. The other great thing about the site was the secure car park where your car is parked over night :)

Great woodland setup

Had an excellent 2 nights , woodland pitches were great , as natural as it comes. Helpful staff and alotbof info abut the area and wildlife. Decent torches are a must. Toilets were very clean and not too far from the pitches. Also the location is 5 mins away from local shops and restaurants pubs etc . Will be back in the new year for sure

Woodland floor Pitch - Small Tents

Great little woodlands with well positioned pitches. Good foliage cover which gives a nice feeling of isolation from the other pitches and provides a taste of wild camping but with the convenience of a comfortable toilet block. Good array of birds and smaller wildlife. Host Duncan is great! I definitely recommend this site!!!
