- For those visiting during peak seasons, expect increased activity, with pitches being unmarked and guests setting up where they please. - Be aware of potential nighttime noise despite the campsite's quiet hours policy. - Consider a visit during the off-season for a more tranquil experience, free from the school holiday rush.Overall Thoughts
Hollands Wood Campsite is a charming choice for those seeking a nature-infused camping adventure. With its natural beauty, family-friendly atmosphere, and helpful staff, it's a wonderful spot to connect with the outdoors.

Our third time staying here with our tent. Its a lovely site, free roaming animals, large pitches even when busy over the Bank Holiday. Good toilet blocks, only complaint would be to be cleaned more over the Bank Holiday weekend but the rest of our stay beforehand was fine. Lots of bins and water points dotted around. Easy access to shops pubs and walking or cycling In the forest. Staff always helpful. Some charging lockers in the laundry room were great to use when we could use them. Some people were keeping them padlocked even with nothing in just so they guaranteed using one so some days we had to go without, so maybe an idea to have some more at each toilet block. The washing machines and tumble dryers are great and fit lots in but you have to use an app on your phone so while I added the laundry in my partner had to walk to the field to get signal and then come back otherwise it didn't work, would much prefer cash or card payment on the machine. Good washing up facilities. I can't fault this site only a few improvements but would definitely come again.

Large campsite, which I'm sure is great when it isn't school holidays. It was mega busy when we went in August. On arrival we were treated to a 10 minute speech about their many rules, which made sense, but the campsite didn't ensure people stuck to them. It is VERY noisy at night despite the quiet after 10pm with people playing music, dogs barking etc after then. Nothing done about it. None of the pitches were marked out, so it was really a free for all on where you put your tent. We had just finished putting ours up when a staff member came round and told us we had to move it about 60cm away from the tent next door, but conveniently ignored two tents which were pretty much on top of each others across from us. It was super busy, so people were just setting up their tents anywhere that suited them, nothing is allocated, so if you come in a big group, good luck in being able to all camp together. The facilities are adequate, and there are 2 large toilet/shower blocks and one smaller. The one nearest us was closed for cleaning 2.00-4.00pm, which meant a 10 min walk to the next block as the site is so vast. They are mostly clean, but the toilets didn't flush too well. Like I said, I'm sure out of season it is nice, but don't go during the school holidays, find a smaller one in the forest, there are plenty.

Great campsite for our young family. Tents and caravans. Find your space amongst the woods. Wild ponies just sharing the area. Facilities are clean, warm water, chargeable lockers (not many and take own lock), lovely views, close to the river where dogs and kids cam play. Really friendly staff. Ideal spot within the forest.

Beautiful campsite literally in the Forrest with ponies, cows and other animals roaming freely. It’s very beautiful. The showers and toilets are good and there are washing up facilities, a laundry and a warm water dog washing station! The staff are lovely and very helpful. I would recommend.

Truly amazing! Last time I was here was 20 years ago. I came every summer since I was 3 Months old. So cheap!!! It's a beautiful site, love the animals coming through. The toilet block is very good. Only thing is the washing machines. At the time of writing they aren't working. The dryers are. But the staff were so helpful and helped me out BIG time! The staff were so lovely and happy to help all the time. The kids loved the open spaces and the gorgeous countryside. It's very safe for kids. I'm definitely coming back! For more than 2 nights! They should allow u to rent bikes from there or deliver rent a bikes there cos that would help alot!
