We operate from remote locations and text/email is the best way to get hold of us.

Thank you for your interest. Our locations are to be kept secret to complete the backwoods experience. Our sites are for those people who understand and appreciate the quiet outdoors. Please ensure your group knows of the basic facilities (standpipes and compost toilets) and the 11-7 quiet policy. You will have a small clearing in the trees to yourselves. Smaller tents are best or extra payment may be required for a larger clearing unless you have a larger group which requires that larger clearing.

BUSH CAMP TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Bookings and cancellation policy
The full amount is due if within a month of your stay or if you have elected to do so a 25% deposit if over a month until your stay. Any cancellations within a month mean no refunds but there may be a possibility of postponement within the same calendar year. This is at Yellow Wood’s discretion as we have to prepare sites and arrange instruction. For all to enjoy this unique experience, by making a payment you agree to

1. Keep sites secret to benefit those seeking a backwoods experience. You must keep our locations secret for the benefit of our clients, both from people local to our sites and from people further afield

2. Abide by 11-7 quiet policy-we attract outdoor types with a tiring days activity ahead...we do allow groups to book out a whole area of a bush camp out of the way for activity beyond 11pm on occasion

3. Leave all deadwood in the woodlands & not cut any live plants (resources available upon request for pot hangars & other projects) to avoid overuse of the woodlands.

4. Not allow kids to wander around without supervision with knives, axes & arrows due to risk of damaging tree bark. No bashing of plants with sticks (compare with scout camps that have no wildlife left around the camp)

5. Camp within depicted areas…don’t expand into the wilderness. This means no tarps or hammocks away from obviously worn areas.

6. Only use designated compost toilet

7. Walk out of camp on paths towards tracks to avoid trampling vegetation

8. Good fire management...do not move fire places. Fully extinguish with water. Leave ash in pit...no burning of plastics

9. Taking away all non-burnable rubbish or be charged £7.50 per bin bag to encourage good use of resources

10. Buy at least one bag per night of sustainably managed firewood @ £6.00/bag

11. Undertake a risk assessment that means you do not camp, park or play under hazard trees, ensure group members adhere to strict hand washing protocol, and that all know where first aiders with kits are. You are on site at your own risk & Yellow Wood is absolved of any responsibility. This includes your belongings and vehicles...
