General
Remember when you were young and you could run wild in the woods? Play on a rope swing, climb to the top of a tree or toast marshmellows on a campfire? We have secluded pitches in beautiful ancient woodland, bushcraft lessons, hot showers, our own laying hens, local farm shop and acres of woodland to explore. Bring your kids and relive your childhood...create some new memories.
We run off-grid and aim to make as little impact on the woods as possible. It’s wild camping but with hot showers, WC’s and recycling facilities – rustic but with everything you need for a few creature comforts in the woods.

Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Badgells Wood is easily accessed from either the M20 (jcn 2 if heading south or jcn 2A on the M26 if heading North) or the M2/A2 (A227 turn-off to Wrotham & Gravesend).
We are just under 2.5 miles from the turning off the A227, between Meopham and Wrotham, near Vigo village. Turn onto Harvel Lane (signposed Vigo & Harvel – and with a brown sign for Trosley Country Park). If you are heading north the turning off the A227 is not long after the Vigo Pub on your right. If heading south & you get to the Vigo pub you have gone too far..!
Follow the road along for two miles and you will go past the turning on your left to Harvel (& Harvel House Farm Shop). You will then pass a couple of houses and Fairseat Fencing. Keep going for another 1/2 mile and you will see the entrance on your right (as the image above) and the reception compound in front of you. Come and check in, park up and go and find your pitch in the woods..!
