About Dernwood Farm Camping & Glamping
Wild Camping
Our wild camping field is an 8 acre field in the middle of 70 acres of our ancient woodland. We aim to provide a low impact, sustainable and eco-friendly campsite; it's a field in the woods, with lots of of peace & quiet, for people who are looking for a real back to nature camping experience. There are two (toilets and a covered washing up area (cold water), and stand pipes. There is also a brand new shower block. Bell Tents
Gorgeous five meter Bell Tents are in individual clearings in the woods just off the sunset side of the camping field. The clearings allow each tent its own privacy and are large enough to let in lots of sunshine. They are furnished with everything you’ll need for 4 people and come complete with their own tripod with grill pan and Dutch oven in which you can cook anything from bread to a roast dinner. With a ‘tree bog’ toilet and ‘jungle’ bucket shower.
Safari Tent
The Safari Tent is the ultimate in luxury camping and is enough to tempt even the most reluctant of campers out into the woods. Situated in a large sunny glade in exclusive eight acre area of ancient woodland, it offers home from home comfort with the excitement and adventure of sleeping under canvas. Sleeps 6 comfortably in 1 twin room, 1 double room and a cabin double bed. Wood burning range and hot running water to the Belfast sink in the kitchen and a state of the art compost loo and ‘proper’ hot shower in the bathroom out the back.
The Cabin
The newest addition to our camping stable is The Cabin which was built by a team from William Hardie Designs after an idea by architect and innovative design aficionado George Clarke. The build was filmed throughout and shown on the third series of the Channel 4 programme George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces, using local resources and timber harvested from our ancient coppice woodland.
We have made substantial changes to the cabin since then tripling it in size as although the small space with hidden furniture worked well for TV, on a practical level it just didn’t!
