Welcome to ForgeWood Camping

Pitch Choice

You have the choice of either camping on the field OR inside the woods

The Field pitches are located in either Snag Acre Field or the Barn Field.

The woodland pitches are in Forgewood and Great Robbins Shaw

The choice is woods or field and then how far you want to be from the facilities.

We cannot gauarantee your pitch choice, but will always try and give you the right pitch

If you book and pay as a group we will ensure that you can camp together. We cannot g'tee this is you book individually even if you advise us you want to be a group.
Facilities:
OK so its not real "Real Camping". We have toilets and showers which use loads of water and loads of power. One day we may be able to live without them, but for the moment we think you have to have that little bit of luxury. There is nothing like a good strong shower and a flushing toilet.

Things to do

If you are not busy enough setting up camp and managing your fire, the Eridge Park Estate offers the perfect environment to roam and explore. While your kids will be happiest hanging out in the woods around the campsite, you may like to walk a little further to find the Caves, the follies and the Saxon fort. Let's not exaggerate because this is not a theme park, but the Estate has plenty of natural and architectural history.

Activities

New for 2013 in addition to Bushcraft we are offering Forest School ad Art classes, with occasional Drumming circles and other fun things to do. Please click on the relvant tab

Walks

The Eridge Estate is criss-crossed with numerous carriageways, linking the campsite to the Tunbridge Wells Circular Path and the Sussex Border Path. Our visitors can use the carriageways to go on a short circular walk, about an hour which takes you past the caves and Chalybeate Springs, or a longer 3 hour walk around the perimeter of the Estate. At Frant you can visit the George Pub and enjoy a meal or drink before returning to the campsite past the lakes.

Woods

The campsite sits in a 100 acre wood which provides a unique playground for our younger visitors. We do not have any rides or formal entertainment. But our experience has been that anyone who thinks of themselves as a child will be happily entertained for days on end.

We are always investigating alternatives and hope to have composting toilets in the woods and showers in the trees. But these raise more issues with the ecologists and planners. We will get it sorted!
Having high quality portable units ensures that you are always comfortable. In the future we will offer choices so that you can either have the comfort or you can have the experience.

Review Submitted: 15 Nov 2013

A wonderfully relaxing and fun site

What was great?
We were a party of 16 and we loved the large unrestricted pitches, the safe woods in which our children could run free and safely without too many adults "spying" on them. We loved the fact that camp fires were encouraged (and the reasonable cost of the wood). We were close enough to the clean and well maintained facilities, but far enough to feel we were really camping in a woodland environment. A great combination. The fact that it was one of the hottest weekends of the summer really helped as well!!

Even better if....
None!
