Following a comprehensive review, Sherwood Pines Camping Ltd has taken the difficult, but necessary decision to cease operations at Postern Hill Campsite at the end of the summer season.
At the moment, Forestry England has made no decision about the campsite’s future, and continues to manage Savernake Forest in line with the commitments made to the forest and local communities in the ‘Our Shared Forest’ land management plan. This can be found on the Forestry England website at https://www.forestryengland.uk/article/our-shared-forest-savernake-forest
Despite great customer reviews, strong, positive customer feedback, together with high numbers of repeat visitors, the financial performance of the site has not met the levels required to sustain ongoing operations. Rising operating costs, uncertain economic conditions, and the limitations of the site’s facilities have all contributed to this outcome.
We understand this news will be extremely disappointing to our campers, many of whom have enjoyed this great location regularly over the years. However, this decision is based on the long-term commercial viability of the business.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to our dedicated staff for their incredible efforts, commitment and hard work over the past three years.
Additionally, Rachel and Chris would like to say a huge thank you to the many campers that they’ve had the pleasure of welcoming to the site over these past few years, who have helped make their time at Postern Hill immensely enjoyable – they will miss you all!
Whilst Sherwood Pines Camping Ltd will no longer operate Postern Hill, we remain committed to providing quality leisure experiences in our other locations and ventures.
