Great Campsites of the World

My recent blog article discussing what it takes to be one of the Best Campsites in Britain prompted some lively discussion amongst my camping friends.

One of whom pointed me towards, what they consider, one of The Best Campsites in the World – although I would hasted to add this is more than just your standard campsite. I keep seeing this eco organization come up in my Google Searches about Eco Camping and did a little more investigation. It’s now my new ‘bucket list’ destination!

Ecocamp Patogonia offers Geodesic dome-style tent accommodation in Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile. They combine these fantastic looking accommodation domes with adventure tours, breathtaking scenery and a great ecological philosophy.

Below I listed some of the information on their website and Facebook page – well worth checking out – looks like one of the best Eco Travel Destinations in the World to me!

Hopefully one day soon I get to visit Ecocamp Patagonia and share some stories around the campfire.

Until next

Cheers Hugh

The following are some of the comments made by our lovely campers following their stay our Eco Camp UK’s East Sussex campsite at Beech Estate Woodland Campsite;

“Hi – just wanted to say thank you so much for a wonderful w/end at Beech Estate! What a special place. We stayed in our own bell tent and loved the camping grounds… we (baby Max, hubby and I) had a good giggle in the “bucket” shower! The loo was spotless although I was a little nervous. All in all a super w/end and Laura was so helpful and nothing was too much to ask! Also thanks for helping us unload our rather large load! thank you! sitting by the fire under the stars was just what we needed – now for the massive load of smelly washing xxx” Jacqueline and Family (August 2012 – Beech Estate Woodland Campsite)

“Awesome first time camping for me! Brilliant campsite and fantastic, helpful and friendly staff! Will be back again!!!”
Yasmine (August 2012 – Beech Estate Woodland Campsite)

“Hugh, Just a quick e mail to say what a brilliant site! We thoroughly enjoyed it. The faraway pitch was great. Will definitely come back. Am going to try and get another couple, you could easily get two tents on that pitch. Sorry we didn’t catch up properly, but thanks for all your help. All the best.” Scott (August 2012 – Beech Estate Woodland Campsite)

With the August Bank Holiday Weekend almost upon us, both our Wild Boar Wood and Beech Estate Woodland Campsites are fully booked for the Saturday night. We do have some late availability for the remainder of the week leading up to the weekend, on the Friday and the Sunday and thereafter.

This can be booked via the following links;

Beech Estate Woodland Campsite (Bell Tents & Tent Pitches)

Wild Boar Wood Campsite (Bell Tents Only)

The “Faraway” Tent Pitch at Beech Estate has just been created and also has some late availability for the remainder of August and early September. The Faraway Tent Pitch is located on the crest of a hill, overlooking Bracken Valley in the woods. There is a 100 plus metre walk to the toilets and shower, but it’s our most isolated and beautiful pitch. The Tent Pitch has it’s own open campfire pit.

The Best New Campsite in Sussex

Posted in Bell Tents, Campfires, Camping close to Brighton, Campsite, Campsites close to London, Campsites with Open Fires, East Sussex Camping, Glamping, News, Sussex Camping, Wood-fired Shower | Leave a comment

Hi all our Eco Campers,

Beech Estate Woodland Campsite is now open for bookings and we think it may well be the best new campsite in Sussex. (It could even be the best new campsite in Britain – but we may be biased!).

The campsite is set in a private 1900 acre estate – The Beech Estate – near the town of Battle and Hastings in East Sussex. It sits on the edge of a 500 acre private woodland. There are miles of forest rises you can explore – either walk or ride your bikes. It has five Bell Tents and five Tent Pitches, an custom made eco toilets in a wooded caravan and eco wood heated shower.

So if you love camping off-grid in a campsite in the woods, with campfires, please come and visit us. Get out and enjoy the Great British Countryside and go camping.

Finally the rain has held off and Paul has been up at the West Sussex Campsite building away while I’m stuck in the office doing accounts!

There’s a new storage shed to hold the kindling for the campsite campfires and importantly keep the kindling dry. The sandpit sand has been collected and and the sandpit has been lined.

Tomorrow we will be filling the water storage units and preparing the bell tent carpets up at the farm storage area.

We still have a few glamping bell tents left free to book for May Bank Holiday for our opening week, but hurry as we are nearly full. The second weekend in March is already fully booked.

Hi All – Please excuse the higglety pigglety formatting of this post. I wanted to put in our first newsletter ever, but it proved more difficult that I thought!

The newsletter looked great – honest it did! But I couldn’t figure out how to re-format it.

So instead – here’s a link to the original (I hope) - CLICK HERE.

With the long winter evenings getting shorter, we at Eco Camp Uk are looking forward to getting under canvas again and enjoying a bit of Spring sunshine cooking on our open fires in the woods. That glorious smell of egg, bacon, sausage, beans and tomato wafting into the tent and the kettle on for a mug of tea or fresh coffee. With the mobile switched off and little regard to the time, we can’t wait to sit around the picnic table under the shade of a tree eating a hearty breakfast.

Our Wild Boar Wood Campsite is close to London. We offer camping in the Sussex High Weald in a five acre wood, with fully equipped bell tents, open campfires, wood burning shower and an ecological ideology. We think we are one of the best campsites in Sussex and some of our campers say we are the best campsite in the UK.

So if you want to book a weekend this summer under canvass with us in one of our luxury bell tents set amongst the trees, our advice is ‘Book Early’!

Look forward to you camping in the woods in Sussex with us soon!
