24th Nov 2013I own a campsite in Much Wenlock. The Withies Campsite, Stretton Rd, Much Wenlock, Shropshire. \" Real camping on the edge of nature\" email: thewithiescampsite@gmail.com 01694771570 to contact. I would like to be included on your website. I have a communal campfire with seats around the fire and allow small fires also. The site is neat and tidy, mowed and tended. The site is on the edge of national trust woodland, and we encourage shelter building, and a natural camping experience. Clean toilets, water, and chemical waste disposal and recycling provided.

Shelter building and campfires allowed. Tidy and clean without mod cons. fabulous wild flowers, fossils and views. Ironbridge Gorge Museums nearby. 01694771570 to book.

25th Jun 2013Stayed at Little dernwood farm and was very disapointed....I just read a review from 2010 where a family stayed for 2 weeks and loved it! i could not shower for that long. 20 minute walk down a muddy path with your wheelbarrow, very overpriced wood needed two bags for 1 decent fire £10 and kindling £3! No loo roll no love don\'t like camping in fields with pilon\'s beaming electricity through the county.

26th Jan 2012Hi I recently burned some magnolia (mature) and it produced reasonable heat & longevity of burn - better than I was expecting & on a par with some laurel I burned last year; not the equal tho' of ash/oak/beech etc. (My wife works for a National Trust property which has many mature magnolias. Every now & again one comes down ...) Best,

8th Oct 2010Just stumbled across your site.What a refreshing changes to some natural campers. I have used sites in Canada and the Czech republic at these you are EXPECTED to have a campfire. Especially as each pitch has a fire pit!. Because of advancing years I am now camping in a motorhome,but it is still nice to sit around the campfire with or without friends and reminisce or just tell travellers tales. Thanks and keep on.

10th Feb 2010I just found your website after clicking on the link on Glyn-y-Mul Farm's site. I would just like to thank you whole-heartedly for what you have done. Your website is invaluble for those of us who don't always want to stay on a dull sterile campsite. I have posted links on my facebook page and to an aquaintance of mine who is a bushcraft instructor. I will be telling all my friendsabout it too. I have searched for such a comprihensive list of sutible campsites for a long time and have never found one until finding yours. I my opinion you deserve a medal. Thank You again

17th Nov 2009Thank you, for this great site... I'm a wild camper normally but I'm looking for a campsite which allows campfires when I take my wife and kids camping next year ;) I would like them to enjoy a real campfire and were looking for something like this. It seems that my family would like a little more comfort when we go camping but I call that glamping and not camping hahaha. Still I love my wild camping and glamping and enjoy the nature and most of all the campfires... nothing is better then the smell of burning wood ;) I just come back from a great camping weekend and we've made some amazing pics of the fire which kept us warm. Thank you again for this lovely site and the excellent page of Fire design.... you've done a really good job... keep up the good work and take care

5th May 2009Well done on a fab site. Can't wait to try some of these out this summer. Small point, but is there any chance of adding which sites allow dogs, if any? Wouldn't be the same going camping without them. Many thanks, Blandy & co.

30th Apr 2008I believe we should all boycott the "no campfire and no barbeque" campsites this would send the strongest message to them.Keep up the good work.

25th Jan 2008Thank god for proper camping and proper campers, having been a camper {proper} for 30+ years i was losing hope of finding likeminded people {other than my friends and family} who enjoy a camp fire. It seems that i am not alone , Thank you

13th Nov 2007You guys are fantastic. This site is just what I've been looking for !. I go camping regularly at ALL times of the year and camping without a fire isn't the same at all. Fantastic wonderful. I'm chuffed to bits I've discovered your site.

12th Sep 2007Hi, I wanted to say that this site has renewed my faith in the 'purist' camper….I have travelled the world over and have only found this 'dislike' of fires on campsites only in the UK. I know and realise that there are practicalities involved, but It pains me to see BBQ's allowed but not open fires. Campsite owners can always stipulate fires in BBQ's only. I hope your site turns this trend around and lets us all go back to burnt marshmallows, coming home smelling of natural wood smoke and the joy of the outdoors.. Keep it real, Keep it open

27th Jul 2007Great idea. A forum would be a good one too and I think they are quite easy to set up. I spend time in the states where you can camp and cook almost anywhere including town parks. Here in the UK there is always a few of us camping and looking for fire camps. We are currently looking at the "Dutch Oven" craze that was initially started by the pioneers and is huge in the states. Maybe we could get a UK "cook off" going. Andy and Clare

1st May 2007FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for putting this together! Camping is all about getting back to nature, and a more primal time and in my opinion, its nearly impossible to do that without a campfire. Im a member of the Camping and Caravanning club and I just sent them an email asking them why I cant seem to find any sites with them that allow campfires and this was their reply: >I can confirm that unfortunately we do not allow camp fires on our Sites >nor do we allow Barbeques. This is due to our Health and Safety Policy >which has been put in place for the safety of our campers. No campfires and no BBQs!?!!?!? How is that camping? I may have to not renew my membership next year… Anyway, keep fighting the good fight. Have you thought about any ways that we can lobby to make sure sites keep their campfire privileges, or how to convince more sites to allow them?

20th Apr 2007Fantastic! camping with a campfire is great, finding sites that allow it, however is a problem. Problem solved!!! Hoping to read reviews about the campsites once the summer comes.

12th Jun 2006Post codes of campsites would be useful & maybe symbols for facilities etc....This is good stuff and with feed back could be a very useful site...Not so sure about the songs thing??

3rd Apr 2019Anglesey outdoors offer a cheap camp site but with good facilities, and camp fires are allowed apparently. Possibly going there next week. LL65 2LP Tel: 01407 769351 Ty Croes Farm and Vineyard, also on Anglesey permits camp fires. It is a fairly basic site but proved a great base for exploring Anglesey LL61 6RP Tel: 07784 092836 Great site - I use it regularly but there must be many more camp sites to add to the directory.
