Fantastic Earth Camp!

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!!

Find the magic at 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 😍😍😍

Disappointed

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.

The best compost loos I’ve seen. Loved the hilly nature of the site and Will was really friendly and helpful.
