Life in the Woods
Space to slow down
Wake beneath the trees, cook outdoors, explore woodland paths and spend unhurried time around your own pitch. Children can discover the woods, while adults read, walk, watch wildlife or simply enjoy the quiet.
Quiet by design
A calmer kind of campsite
We do not allow music, including instruments, and our quiet hours protect the natural atmosphere of the woodland. You can spend time around your own pitch without feeling expected to join in.

When conditions allow

Beyond the pitches
48 Acres to Explore
Nethercote Wood was planted in 2005 as part of the National Forest. More than 8km of paths lead through areas beyond the campsite, offering space for family exploration, walking and wildlife watching.
Your stay supports the woodland
Visitor income helps us care for Nethercote Wood, respond to ash dieback and improve habitats through bird and owl boxes, bee hives, bug hotels, hibernacula, deadwood habitat and wildflower work.

Inclusivity and honest information
Everyone should know what to expect
We aim to make Fire & Stars welcoming and inclusive while being honest about the realities and physical limitations of a natural woodland site.
