FAQs
We're a fully certified site, operating under a Natural England licence. In 2025, we're open between the 1st May and 14th September. Our booking system is now up and running so you can book your 2025 stay.
Castle Wild Camp is a certified site with the Go Explore Camping Club. Under our licence, guests who pre-book a camping space are automatically considered members for the duration of their stay (at no additional charge). When guests depart the site, their membership ends and starts again the next time they stay on a certified site.
As you'll be booking into a specific glade, pre-booking is required. You can book via our easy-to-use online booking system.
You can amend or cancel your booking up to 60 days before your visit via our online booking system. Go to the booking page and then click on the log in button (see below). After this period we regret that no changes or refunds can be made.
Each glade is a private space just for your group, so you won't be sharing it with strangers. Each glade is unique and allows for the booking of a minimum and maximum number of tents. You can camp in a single tent in some glades whereas in other glades you will need to bring a group of friends and family with two or more tents to share with (or you can pay for the minimum number of tents required and enjoy the glade to yourself). So, there's a glade for everyone, whether you want to spend time with family and friends or relax by yourself. See the glade section for more information.
Yes, the site is suitable for children and is a great place for them to explore and immerse themselves in nature! It's important to note that there is open water on the site (ponds and a small stream) so children need to be supervised by an adult at all times. Also, it's well worth bringing sturdy shoes, the main paths are kept clear but if you want to explore off the tracks (we encourage this!) then you will need to be ready for thorns and nettles.
Our licence does not allow the site to be booked on an exclusive basis (see 'camp rules' section of the FAQ re hen and stag parties).
There is no vehicle access beyond the car park so we currently can't accommodate camper vans or roof tents. This is something we are looking into for the future so keep checking back :)
