## What visitors say

[Ashleigh Abbey-Mohammed](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113785010794866712434/reviews) ★★★★★

Amazing campsite with multiple different camps within. Hall is big enough and kitchen facilities were perfect. Picnic tables are outside under a cover but fold up tables and chairs are available. The only negative is the entryway is not well signposted at all (follow Forest school) and the private road is horrible to drive along because pot holes are massive!

Wonderful place to visit for an array of events, or just to walk through the woods and feel part of nature. If you stay overnight you may be lucky enough to hear the wolf sanctuary next door when they take them out for excersise and howl in joyous harmony

Went to Ross woods to collect my son from a camping trip...was very impressed the set up and the facilities ( although I could tell from the smell, he had chosen not to use them) would definitely recommend
