About Wolford Wood
This is an idyllic, peaceful spot to unwind and immerse in. The woodland is of Special Scientific Interest, home to more than 2,500 different species of flowers, fungi and fauna. The ancient woodland is protected by law and studied throughout the year by professionals and amateurs alike. The site offers 75 large non electric grass tent pitches and can accommodate separate areas for groups of family and friends. There's plenty of wild space for pitching tents, and campers can choose where they want to be, whether it is a shady spot under the trees or in the middle of the meadow. If you are looking for glamping, there are four wooden cabins to choose from, varying in size. Each comes with made up beds with all bedding and towels provided, a heater, sockets and seating areas. Outdoor kitchens equipped with stoves for cooking, a fridge freezer, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery, glasses and mugs. The site also has a power bank you can borrow if you place a small deposit. For evenings under the stars, there is a fire pit and one bag of logs per night included. There is also a fenced paddock for friends and family in tents to book separately. You'll be less than 30 minutes by car to Shakespeare's Stratford upon Avon, Leamington Spa and Warwick. Explore the picturesque villages of Bourton-on-the-Water or Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm. Sitting on the edge of Warwickshire, bordered right up against the counties of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, the location could hardly be a better hub to get away to. There are also many beautiful walks and cycle routes in the surrounding area, but if you prefer to stay onsite, there are regular and special weekend events. Park Run is every Saturday an you can book an organised group activity to entertain you from tie-dying to crazy clay faces, den building and fire lighting.

We found the campsite a great place to camp. The grounds felt wild and nature was all around. We used the site as a way to visit family in the area, so we're not around much. The facilities were clean and the wash up area useful in the rain. The electric kettle was a great help. The down sides for us were the two large mounds of dog mess we found as we were about to pitch our tent. Secondly was the wasp's nest which had not been managed and had been knocked to the ground, leaving a swarm of angry wasps which stung a small child. My husband is severely allergic to wasps and as a matter of safety, wasps nest should be removed in such public areas. While the use of fires is great, we chose not to have one. However, the proximity of other campers with fires left us concerned about fire safety and the use of a lot of water to put out a fire which sent steam smoke and ash across out tent. We would stay again but not on a busy August bank holiday.

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review, Liz- we really appreciate your feedback. A wasp nest was not reported to any staff by campers over the weekend so to help us identify where it is for safe removal please could you get in touch. Rules regarding fires are fire pits are sent out in the arrivals email as well as posters around the camping kitchen and wood shed. We're sorry to hear that your tent was affected by other campers extinguishing their fire. Kind regards, the Wolford Wood Team
