Forest Camp Dorset, Phoxx 1V2 Camp
Early June 2025
A lovely, quiet forest in Dorset.
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…

Dorset Hilltop- Nortent Skjul Bivvi Camp
