The Woodland School
We loved camping at the woodland school! It was a beautiful spacious pitch, well kept and with excellent separation from other campers. Our children spent the majority of their time playing in the hammock and rope swing and the camp fire seating area was perfect for sitting and playing card games at night. Chloe was amazing and dropped us off bags of logs on request. We didn’t want to leave and will absolutely be back!

The Woodland School
We absolutely love camping at the Woodland school. It is just a really, really special place and one that we will keep coming back to. I am torn between wanting to tell everyone about it and wanting to keep it a secret so that it doesn’t become over subscribed!

Great pitch, it felt like we had a woodland to ourselves. The outdoor kitchen covered by the parachute was a real highlight.

The Woodland School
The Woodland School is an incredibly special camping opportunity within a larger site. Within the Southover Woods the Woodland School has its own designated area complete with two pitches, and two parachute covered fire pits (with plenty of seating and a large table in one of them). There is a hammock and a swing which my children absolutely adored and spent much of the weekend seeing just how high they could swing (much higher than me). With our own loos and shower we felt completely content to just be at the site and enjoy our surroundings. It felt like an effort to tear ourselves away to go to Weymouth. Chloe is an excellent host, warm and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to coming back very soon.
