Wild Boar Wood is a glamping-only site in West Sussex, with just nine bell tents in a beautiful semi-ancient woodland. We operate low noise, family-oriented campsites and no cars are allowed on site. We offer the closest thing to wild camping, with the added luxury of basic facilities. There is mains drinking water and running hot water, but no electricity. And, of course, lots of trees.
