Mike, there are only a couple of areas at Holmesly that are "in trees" as such and given that it is not possible to book a pitch in advance at that site you may be unlucky.

If you must pitch in trees (and bear in mind the advice that Bob61 has given) then go for Hollands Wood. Still part of Forest Holidays so expensive but all in the sort of surroundings that you want, walkable to the "battle cruiser" and nice warm toilet blocks. Just eye wateringly expensive once you have added in the hidden charges!

We have always found Hill Cottage Farm to be acceptable  and all the pitches are now fully serviced

If you decide to go to Holmsley or Ashurst (which are part of The Forest Holidays group) then you may want to invest in the Forest Experience Card.

This costs £12 or is it £15 and lasts for a year. It entitles you to £3.50 PER NIGHT off your pitch fee.  So, as the EHU is £3.50 per night you would save over the course of a few days and if you intend to visit any of the other Forest Holiday parks you'd soon recoup your costs.  The card also offers you discounts on local attractions.

We bought the card in June this year and have already recouped the initial outlay
