Campsite Facilities
We designed our infrastructure to fit around you and your needs, with a mixture of composting and traditional toilets you will never be very far away from a convenience.Â
đż A DIFFERENT KIND OF CAMPSITE
Woods & Meadow sits on a regenerative farm, so the camping experience is closely connected to the land around you.
You’ll see wildflowers, meadow grasses, woodland habitats and food being grown on the farm.
We’ve designed the site to work with the landscape rather than overwhelm it.
Our facilities use a mixture of traditional and composting toilets, hot showers, washing-up points and drinking-water stations.
We’ve also reused and upcycled materials throughout the site, including our distinctive eco-toilet facilities.
It’s deliberately more natural than a conventional holiday park.
đĽ CAMPFIRES ARE PART OF THE EXPERIENCE
Every pitch has access to a fire pit so you can enjoy one of the simplest pleasures of camping â cooking, talking and sitting around a fire as the evening draws in.
Firewood is available to buy on site, and campers can collect small amounts of fallen timber for kindling.
Then just sit back and watch the sun disappear.
Group areas
Our campsites are very popular for hosting school groups, family pods, and friends for yearly get together all looking for private space to be together, enjoy nature, play games, cook food over an open fire, party the night away with silent discos and relax in safe open space where kids can explore and adults can kick back.
In our unique spaces we can create self-pitch and bell tent areas together and offer huts and cabins for a more getaway from it all stay. Bolt-on large communal structures, fully kitted kitchen trailer, mains power, private toilets, and showers.

For those wanting to get on the water, paddleboards are also available to hire, subject to availability. Come for the camping. Stay for the adventure.
Bell Hop transport service to your pitch
We are also operating a Bell hop service on weekends (Friday and Sunday only) that will ferry all kit across the site for ÂŁ10 a load from the car park in field 1.
This is an add-on service is found in the extras section of your booking page.
What is the Bell Hop Service?
What is it?
The Bell Hop operates with Quad bikes and 4×4 vehicles picking up campers equipment from the car park and dropping it directly onto their pitch.
Why offer this service?
We no longer allow cars onto the main camping fields or woodland (except camper vans), we have invested in trailers, quads and 4×4âs, and subsidised the service so for a small fee we transport your camping gear directly to your pitch.
Why canât I drive to my pitch?
The land and wildlife began to struggle with the amount of cars driving across the field, so we decided to become car free on pitches.
How do I book this service
You can book the service through the booking system in EXTRASÂ
What if I donât want this service
No problem! If you would rather transport your kit across the site, we have provided BIG wheel barrows that are in the car park, all we ask is that you return them after you have finished using them so the next camper can benefit from them.
why do i have to pay?
This is an extra service, we provide wheel barrows for free, but we also understand the average family comes with a lot of gear. It costs a considerable amount of money to buy and maintain quad bikes/4×4 with trailers, then add insurance, training and staff hourly rate for arrival and check out, so we hope you’ll see why we have set the fee at ÂŁ10.
Welcoming you to the site
We warden the campsites on weekends at check-in, help you find your pitch and assist with anything you need during your stay. Wardens are not always available during the week and we check in remotely so do look out for your allocation email on the week of your stay to help orientate you to your pitch. The car park also holds a large allocation map.
What to do on arrival
Once you arrive follow signs into the car park, the map will help guide you to your pitch, wheelbarrows are positioned to the side of the car park. If you have booked the Bell hop just flag the Warden down who will be bouncing about on the Quad bike. Wardens are here to help, always ask if you need assistance.
Rubbish and recycling
Rubbish is the pain of every campsite and camper, the campsite has recycling bins onsite, we normally take 85% of all rubbish we give netty bags on each number pitch, one bag is for glass that must be empty and separated. The second bag is for all empty plastic and cans. Then on the Sunday we open the bins situated by reception and on your way out you deposit your recycled waste. Hoorah! Please note we do not take your general waste.
đ BRING THE DOG
Dogs are welcome at Woods & Meadow.
We simply ask that they are kept under control around livestock, wildlife, neighbouring land and other campers.
