Frequently Asked Questions

This is a wild riverside campsite with basic, off-grid facilities. Our ethos is “respect this place - leave no trace” and we ask you to follow our guidelines to support the natural environment, sustainability, and our rewilding efforts. This is so the woodland continues to re-establish and thrive so you get to truly immerse yourself in nature.

  • The Lakeside hut provides basic toilet and shower facilities with a washing-up station (2 toilets, 1 shower). There are two compost toilets in the woodland.

    There are no electric hookup facilities. There is a small fridge available for use in the farmhouse - please ask about this when checking in.

    WIFI is available at the farmhouse for light use - e.g. keeping in touch with people or planning your onward journey. Mobile signal is poor in the area so take this as a opportunity to unplug from your devices and soak in the stunning surroundings instead.

    Firepits are located around the site, with grills and log seats. Firewood is available from us at cost. Please DO NOT forage for wood within the woodlands - we are rewilding and improving biodiversity so log piles that you see are there for nature not humans.

    Wild campers are expected to have minimal kit and must be able to carry their belongings into the woodland - camping trolleys or wheelbarrows are not allowed in the woods. A wheelbarrow is available for those using the Glade Field and safari tents.

    We have a natural spring on site and you are welcome to fill your water bottles/containers with delicious mountain water.

  • We are in a remote location along a narrow lanes with passing places and tight corners.
