Forest Camp Dorset, Phoxx 1V2 Camp
Early June 2025
A lovely, quiet forest and only a 15–20 minute walk from plenty of free on-street parking in Puddletown.
It’s a fairly large area with a mixture of heathland and forested sections, including some big old fir trees with plantation areas too.
There are lots of paths and tracks criss-crossing the whole area, ranging from wide, solid stony tracks to smaller sandy and soil paths. There are also lots of well-trodden trails through the woods, which is a bit of a drawback as it means you’re never too far from a path or a potential visitor.
I found a decent spot – a patch of forest among tall firs, but far enough away from any widow-makers. It was a bit open and had the remains of old bushcraft shelters dotted around, but it was dry and flat enough for the night.
No issues all night – very quiet apart from the many vocal deer moving around the area. Good phone and internet signal across the forest, but where I camped the signal kept dropping. Either I was in a slight dip or the trees blocked it.
