The Encampment
The Encampment is our woodland camping area around a fenced natural pond. The area has been coppiced, and three beautiful woodland camping pitches have been created. Each one is large enough to pitch the largest of family tents with space for a pop-up too. They have have their own fire pit, ringed by wooden seats, and if you book all three woodland camping pitches you will have this beautiful area all to yourselves. The Encampment has its own tree bog loo and covered washing up area.
You will be immersed in the woodland, able to reconnect with nature, unplug from technology and find refuge from urban existence and everyday life. As one recent Tripadvisor reviewer put it – “re-wilding the children at Dernwood”, I couldn’t have put it better myself!
The Quad Squad!
We operate a kit delivery service with our farm buggy & trailer down to the camping field from 4pm to 7pm every Friday and doing the return trip from 10am to 12.30pm on Sunday morning. This is free and will operate on a first come first serve basis, to the entrance of the field where there will be trolleys for you to then do the short trip to wherever you want to go in the field, this also works for the Bell Tents, Encampment & Hammock areas, all a short walk from the drop off point in the camping field.
You can check availability below by selecting your required dates.
To have the woodland camping area to yourself you would need to book all three Sycamore, Holly and Hazel – (west to east or left to right) so you’d need to put in that you require 3 pitches. All the normal rules around sound still apply in this area.
Please note the fence is a deterrent rather than a barrier.
