Wildcamping

About Wildcamping

Experience life out in the forest. We'll be wildcamping for one night only on what promises to be an unforgettable experience. After setting up our base camp (all equipment will be provided)you'll enjoy a meal cooked over the campfire by a forest ranger. Later there will be a guided walk around the woods at twilight. After a good night's sleep, wake up to the sounds of the woods and the aroma of a cooked breakfast! Full kit list given on booking.

How to get there:

Wildcamping starts at Mallards Pike Car Park in Forest Of Dean. Blakeney is the nearest town or village.

From the A48 at Blakeney take the Lydney - Parkend road. Mallards Pike is signposted on the right hand side approximately five miles from Blakeney.
