Wowo

Love this site. Been here loads of times now and the site is wonderful for children to explore - loads of secret paths with hidden swings and hollow trees and rope bridges over streams.

They now have a recycling and rubbish point on site so no need to take your rubbish home with you. The shop sells local pear cider and their own bread and eggs which are delicious. And now there are donkeys!

It's what camping should be about

We have stayed twice and become a little more enchanted with each stay - we will definately go again. The site is perfect for families with children - acres of woods, rope swings, even a pretend teepee to play in. Adults can enjoy the scenery, the laid back atmosphere, ability to light a fire (logs delivered to your tent for £5 a basket). Things that make life easier are the organic vegetarian soup cooked and eaten outside for free in the Lower Moat Field on sat and some sun afternoons (lovely, communal and 1 less meal to stress about!) Eat it with a homemade organic loaf from the outdoor oven (donation suggested £2.oo oper loaf) fantastic! Pizza making workshops with the kids also mean 1 less meal to worry about. You can go for a lovely walk through woods to a decent pub,. The bluebell railway is a walk away for steam train fans - a very sweet little railway with a pub and shop on the platform. The laundrette on site seems permanently open - no queues and only £1 per load, so another thing to make an easy trip. The staff are lovely and helpful and the general vibe is chilled and friendly. A word of awrning the siter is big and there are streams about so I wouldnt leave young children unattended - you can always go with them and sit at a safe distance with a book so they can have fun whilst you can be sure where they are. The only downsides for me are the showers - nice and hot but not enough of them and no real privacy getting in and out of them. This is a lvoely site to go and meet with friends and unwind over a long weekend.

I've been here twice and there are some very good points about this campsite - lovely location, close proximity to the bluebell railway, plenty for kids to do, camp fires allowed. However it is expensive when you consider the facilities, the toilets are really pretty rubbish and to me the having to take rubbish home rule is all about the campsite not having to pay for rubbish collections. The main problem though was some very inconsiderate other campers, allowing their children to drive cars (!) round the field where our tent was pitched and endangering our children - I'm all for a relaxed approach to rules but not where safety's concerned. There are plenty of other places I'd rather try than to go back here...

Lovely ideas, slightly hippy campsite with campfires. Went last August, lots of bunting and big groups - found it a little intimdating and people glared at DS1 who was on his DS sitting outside the tent. Also facilities are not top notch, have to take own rubbish home because of eco nature of campsite. Sunday spanish breakfast was grim and expensive. Campfire was good though!

Want to light a camp fire, climb a tree, get dirty and muddy, run around with glow sticks in the pitch black, go for gorgeous country walks and generally enjoy the simple things in life? Then I really recommend Wowo. We have now been two times - the first pitching a tent in one of the three large fields, the second time trying out a stay in one of the yurts. Both trips very successful. Wowo is a special place, especially good for people with kids. My five year old son and his friend spent hours playing on the tire swings, scooting along the lanes, exploring the different fields. Facilities are basic but adequate. Clean showers, areas to wash up your pots and pans, compost loos as well as more conventional ones! We saw the most amazing night skies that made the jaw drop - trillions of stars twinkling above us. Magical moments.
