The 42-acre site near the picturesque village of Lurgashall in West Sussex offers tremendous scope for both small and large group camps. (Max. 100 on site at any time). It is situated in the South Downs National Park surrounded by miles of beautiful countryside to enjoy. The site is managed separately, by organisation Wimbledon District Woodcraft Folk.
The site has been sensitively developed for traditional camping which allows Woodcraft Folk groups and districts to camp easily and at low cost. They have everything you need for a successful camp including a fully equipped kitchen for about 50 and tables and chairs for all woodcraft groups to use. If you need them we also have Force 10 tents and sleeping bags for hire and of course, wood for campfires . There are now toilets and showers available for all and many activity opportunities on the site like bush craft, woodland work and various games. In the summer we also have the possibility of swimming, bike-riding, and many craft and musical activities, helped by our film screen on hand in the large barn.
As the site is managed and staffed entirely by volunteers, they always welcome offers of help and assistance. These volunteers strive to keep the site a treasure for all those that visit it.
