Hello

I have been looking at the Forest Camping campsites and really fancy these but I was wondering if anyone has stayed at any of them? What I am looking for is a campsite that is actually in the woods where you camp in the trees, well not in the tree exactly but among them!! Like you see on American telly programs when they go on camping trips :)

I hope that doesnt sound stupid, but I just think this would be really fun :) Has anybody got any ideas. I am willing to travel anywhere in England (because OH will be driving)

Thanks

Hollands Wood in the New Forest is like you describe (or was when I was last there 9 years agao, I can't imagine it's changed much). The C&CC site at Graffham in West Sussex also has pitches set in woodland and is a lovely site - very clean showers etc, surrounded by nice countryside and 2 decent dog-friendly pubs in the village.

I love woodland sites - they seem more "wild" somehow, even when you know they're not.

 

Oooh those all sound really exciting!! Thanks very much for your replies, I want to try them all out now!!

Broadbeans, how spooky!! I have lived in Farnworth most of my life!! I moved a couple of years ago and now live in Great Lever.

I'll second the Hollybush Inn. Link here: http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=4562

If you look in my gallery, you can see a photo of us camped in the woods next to the river.

Bracelands and Christchurch in the Forest of Dean are lovely. If you don't need EHU you can pitch almost anywhere and there are some lovely pitches amongst the trees.
