BAKESDOWN FARM CAMPING
Speckled wood - all the useful details
max. 8 - 150 metre walk to car - 250 metre walk to yard - private facilities - no vans - no dogs
​
Speckled wood is our most remote pitch, at the bottom of the farm. It's the sort of field where you can sit, leaning against a tree, with the sun on your face, and feel the peace settle over you. This field, and all the facilities within it, are for your private use.
​
There are two large mown areas, each about 14 paces across with a fire pit site. Both spaces are yours to choose from (nobody else will be coming to share your exclusive pitch!). The extra space allows the grass to recover, so please avoid pitching on tired grass patches.
​
Your private fully-equipped kitchen has all the pots, pans, cutlery and crockery that you could need, with a gas hob and undercover seating for up to six people. Alongside is the drinking water tap. There is no hot water tap, just ice-cold drinking water, fresh from our bore-hole.
The private facilities are in two little huts just beside the pitch - a compost toilet, and a lovely hot gas-powered shower.
​
Car parking is on a stone area about 150 metres from the pitch. Wheelbarrows are provided for carting your stuff. Vehicles do not have direct access to this pitch.
​
Recycling/rubbish is just beside your kitchen, so very easy to access. Please recycle all you can.
​
Fridge, freezer, and charging lockers are available in the farmyard. These are a free, shared resource for all the guests staying on the farm. You leave items to charge at your own risk.
Fire boxes, containing logs, kindling and natural firelighters, are for sale at £10 each.
Large charcoal bags, sustainably produced and locally sourced, are for sale at £10 each.
These can be added to your booking or purchased on site using the honesty box for cash payment.
​
Body boards, beach toys & barbeque grills are available to borrow.
