About Dreamy Hollow Woodland Campsite and WW1 Trenches
Sit back and relax amongst nature at this family and dog friendly campsite immersed in nature, surrounded by woodlands. Just 15 minutes from sandy beaches, this is an ideal spot to enjoy both the countryside and coastline. All of the pitches will provide you with an authentic camping experience, set on either grass or in the woodlands, each sleeping between two and eight people. The eastern half of the site is for family camping and the western half of the site is adult only. There are then another four group pitches, each one sleeping either 10 or 15. None of the pitches come with electric, and all have their own fire baskets, perfect for evenings of toasting marshmallows. The north end of the Hollow has a wood-fired pizza oven too! Alternatively, you can opt for Sgt Taylor's Bunker which sleeps up to four adults in bunks for a unique war-time experience. Basic mattresses are provided, but guests will need to bring their own linen. Also inside you'll have your own table and chairs, small wood-burning fire and a flat top with a copper kettle. Dogs are welcome onsite too, just please keep them on the lead and always clean up after them. Campfires are allowed as long as they are in raised fire pits. All cars (except camper van pitches) will need to park up in the car park, with barrows and a buggy to help you get your stuff to your pitch.

We only planned on staying for 3 nights, but decided to extend our stay another 2 nights as we loved every minute of the peace and quiet. Harry made us very welcome, a very polite and helpful man. The showers were nice and hot, a well kept site which we hope to return to again.

Beautiful little woodland hideaway! Almost in the middle of nowhere, whilst being only 15 minutes away from the supermarkets and shops. A lovely setting and extremely peaceful. Harry was a great host, couldn't have asked for better. There are toilets and shower cubicles on site, these could do with a little updating but served their purpose. This is not the place for people who are looking for home comforts. This is a proper outdoor, no electricity, woodland experience which is exactly what we needed. Thank you for a lovely stay!
