Priding itself on taking care of the environment and is ideal for solo travellers or families. You'll find three areas to choose from, with each one catering to the type of camping experience you want. The wild camping area is designed for smaller scale tents, with no access to the 'mystery woods' with vehicles. Instead, simply park your car a short distance away from your tent and use the wheelbarrow provided to transfer your gear (or your back for a real wild camping experience). The traditional camping area, 'sunset view' is set in a secure half acre field and holds up to five tents, caravans, motorhomes or vans at one time. There are no designated pitches in the area as the site operates on a 'choose where you want to pitch' basis. Raised fire pits are allowed or you can hire one from the site. For a touch of luxury, there is also a range of woodland glamping huts - all with their own fire pit! Sleeping up to two and including a king sized bed, these make for a perfect couples retreat within the secluded woodland. All bedding provided. Dogs are allowed in the traditional camping area only.
Westdown Farm Wild Camping and Caravanning Certificated Site is open from 28/03 to 30/09.
