We had such a great time at Camp Kindling with our 3 kids under 6! The festival is brilliantly put together with so many amazing activities to keep little ones (and parents!) entertained. Highlights for us were the tree climbing and the stomp music session – the kids are still talking about them! The atmosphere was really friendly, and the whole idea of being put into different teams added an extra layer of fun and excitement to the weekend. Such a memorable experience for the whole family. Go Squirrels! 🐿️
Making family festival. So much to do. Have booked again for next year.

It was our first time at Camp Kindling this year, and it was everything and more we thought it would be. It is pure magic. The forest it is so beautiful and there are so many amazing activities you can book into. There were also a lot of walk in activities so there was so much to do! The feeling there just felt so relaxed, the Co-founders Jules and Lee have really thought of everything. If I had to sum it up in one word… ‘Spectacular!’ We can’t wait to go back.
A great experience for me and my children. From the various activities to the evening patrol games, we had a blast! The evening entertainment was great, we enjoyed the comedians and the music 🎶
Amazing 2nd year in a row and will definitely be going back again next year. It’s my new annual event for the summer holidays. Kids love it parents enjoy it and memories are created in a magical space like this.
We’ve just completed our Second year and what a fun, safe and clean vibe! We absolutely love it! It really is a place to connect as a family. The activities on offer provide our kids opportunities they don’t always get- like beekeeping, climbing the tree, bungee ropes. Not only is it adventure by day, the vibe at night time is fantastic. There is something for everyone- with the kiddies in mind! Games, discos, dancing, comedians, chilled areas- there is something for everyone. The site is in the forest- making it a perfect place to enjoy- whatever the weather. It is super clean and the toilets aren’t your typical festival toilets, staff are super friendly and I highly rate camp Kindling for families. We are a family of 6, kids ranging from 0-12, and they all love it! We can’t wait to go back next year!
A fantastic experience for the whole family. Great activities and evening entertainment. What a lovely weekend!
We’ve been wanting to do a festival as a family for a couple of years but I’ve always been really daunted by large crowded festivals and sure I would just spend the whole time worrying about the kids but Camp Kindling was just the perfect first festival with our boys who are 6 and 8.Not too big, Camp Kindling is set in a beautiful forest which feels lovely and calm, never overcrowded and cool in the heat. Full of adventures and fun for the whole family during the day and entertainment and music to party to by night.Our highlights were -- the beautiful wood fired hot tubs and sauna in the sanctuary spa and being able to leave your kids in a child only activity so Simon and I could enjoy this together.- the epic waterslide- the air drop- All the fantastic craft activities - flag making, cyanotype printing, screen printing t-shirts- The mountain boarding- The stunt classAll of the brilliant activities and entertainment are included in the ticket price so you don't have to worry about spending a fortune once you're there.The boys also loved joining the Badger patrol competing against the other 3 teams in the patrol games and collecting tokens over the weekend, such a great idea to get everyone connecting and this created such a great vibe.If you've ben thinking of doing a festival with your kids I would highly recommend this for families with kids of any ages but especially up to age 12/13. Everyone we met was super friendly so even as a solo parent this festival would be great.We had such a lush weekend , Camp Kindling, we’ll be back 💛
Camp K is the best thing ever, we love it so much it’s like a huge family party. We never camped before camp k but now we absolutely love it. The activities are awesome and there is so much to do. A couple of improvements I would suggest, bring the prices of food down, add more showers and toilets and ensure security so there job as they seemed really laid back.
Our first year, Wonderful experience with the kids, great family atmosphere, clean utilities and felt in a safe environment with other families. Great for families with kids of all ages. Even celebrated my 40 there… already booked for next year 🙂
Camp Kindling was such an incredible experience!From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and created with so much energy, creativity, and heart. The activities were fun, engaging, and catered to different interests, so there was always something new to try.The team were warm, welcoming, and made the whole atmosphere feel like a big family safe, inclusive, and full of joy.
Had a fantastic time at Camp Kindling. It's been the highlight of the year for my 3 & 7 year old daughters. The setup is amazing and activities are well organised, engaging and suited to all ages. No one wanted to leave!
Awesome! Went ones and booked to come next year straight away! The best place for the families to be united with nature and family fun. Love it!
The most wonderful weekend every family should experience! We danced, we learnt new skills, we challenged ourselves, and most importantly we had the most amount of fun in one weekend ever! If you're thinking about - just do it. You won't regret it!
We had the most amazing, wholesome experience at camp kindling! Great facilities (clean toilets, showers, cooking area, access to hot and cold water) fabulous activities, games and shows. Food on site was great and really good value! Everyone is very welcoming, and it is a safe environment for children. Just a simply amazing weekend for all young and old!
I love it here, some really lovely memories over multiple years. Friendly camping (though some tetchy parents by the end of the weekend often make me sad for the kids), decent food and drink, good activities, the toilets (plenty of them, and all well looked after), the showers (again, clean and well looked after, and I have only seen 1 short period where there was no heat)... It's just a great time to spend time with your family/friends, really relaxed... the staff are all really lovely too, welcoming and just want to see you have a good time, thanks so much Lee and Jules for working so hard to do it every year Xx
What can I say about Camp Kindling, it was incredible! By far the best place I have ever taken my children and tops any other holidays we have ever had! Why? Because it offers families a captivating outdoor retreat that caters to all age groups, providing an idyllic setting for multigenerational bonding and exploration of the natural world. Nestled in the countryside in Kent just 20 minutes from our home, this camp was the perfect destination to disconnect from screens and for my whole family to immerse ourselves in a diverse array of activities that promote unity, personal development, and a chance to embrace the simplicity of life outdoors.We stayed in the Boutique Camping which was equipped with clean showers and toilets with no queues making it perfect for families with little ones. It also had a pampering tent providing a place to dry and straighten my hair, do my make up and even charge my phone!Camp Kindling's activities were carefully curated to accommodate a variety of interests and ages. From traditional outdoor pursuits like hiking and campfires to tailored workshops on wilderness survival skills and family-friendly nature crafts, the camp ensured that every family member found an activity to cherish. Knowledgeable instructors lead these engaging experiences, infusing each session with enthusiasm and expertise. We enjoyed all the activities we took part in and the majority of these were drop-ins but with no queues! The boys were kept busy all day long, they enjoyed zorbing, nerf gun wars, rock climbing wall, crazy golf, mask and flag making, the water slide, t-shirt making and a scavenger hunt! All of which were included in the price, making Camp Kindling great value for money.A standout highlight of Camp Kindling was its focus on building family bonds! Through team challenges and interactive games, as a family we had the opportunity to discover the joys of working together. The camp's supportive environment encouraged each family member to step beyond our comfort zone, cultivating newfound skills and boosting self-confidence all while deepening our connection with the natural environment. In our party we had people aged between 4 and 68!The entertainment don’t stop in the evening, the evening was packed with entertainment including games and discos! The best bit being that the music was music that the adults could enjoy too.Camp Kindling provided a wide variety of different foods to try and every place we ate from was so so good!Overall, Camp Kindling (situated in Kent) is the perfect place to enable you to create an enriching and memorable outdoor experience with the whole family! With a mix of nature-inspired activities, skilled instructors, and a strong focus on family bonding, the camp offers families an exceptional opportunity to create lasting memories, strengthen relationships, and enjoy the great outdoors providing a break from screens. We will 100% be coming back next year!
We attended in 2025 for our 4th year and made some wonderful memories as a family.The booking system worked better than in previous years and the activities ran smoothly throughout the weekend, and we did most things we wanted. There just isn’t time to do absolutely every activity, there is literally so much going on across the camp.It’s a lovely atmosphere with families everywhere just enjoying time with kids and having fun. We were doing around 25k steps a day!My youngest is coeliac and there was ample food for her at base camp, really beautifully cooked but killed my pocket! £17 for GF quiche with a tiny side salad for a child.The camp fire was great for toasting marshmallows and the activities all around were fantastic.We did lots of activities and so many were great:Beading was terrific as always, and the skateboarding guys were so patient with the kids. Woodland theatre was amazing as was African Harmonies; singing with other families under the tree canopy, beautiful.Aerial is always great, and capture the flag is a winner. One of the best things we do is the family yoga, it fosters great connection and memories.The acts were very, very poor in comparison to previous years but the Clubhouse made up for it with the carnival party.Much more Londoners than in previous years, and more families with under 5s rather than tweens, which meant wagons everywhere.Overall it’s a dream weekend and you will definitely get out what you put in. We left with happy hearts and souls and will remember our Camp Kindling experiences forever.
Had an incredible time at camp kindling with my 3 year old! He absolutely loved it and we made so many core memories together!
A bit expensive, but a great atmosphere, as long as your kids still buy into the 'magic'
We had the most incredible time at Camp Kindling’s 5th anniversary! It was a truly magical weekend packed with over 100 activities, live DJs, bands, comedians, and storytelling. There was never a dull moment — my kids were completely absorbed from morning to night, running from one adventure to the next with huge smiles on their faces.The atmosphere was electric, with so much creativity and energy everywhere you turned. From dancing to live music under the stars to sharing laughs at the comedy shows, every moment felt special. The kids had a wicked time making new friends, trying new things, and creating memories that will stay with them for a lifetime.It’s rare to find an event that blends fun for children and adults so seamlessly, but Camp Kindling nailed it. We left with tired feet, full hearts, and a promise that we’ll be back next year.
Went for the first time this year and absolutely loved it, and I already booked for next year great family fun weekend.
This was our first time at Camp Kindling, and we had a fantastic experience filled with fun and laughter. The camp brings immense enjoyment to children and allows us parents to revisit and regress back to our childhood. The variety of new activities we experience and achieve as a family will be unforgettable. We're already looking forward to next year and Camp Kindling's 5-year anniversary. We'll be back as part of the Squirrels crew, aiming to win the camp trophy. Go, Squirrels!
So much fun and a fantastic family experience!
The most magical wonderful pace on earth! Took my 10 year old and the two of us had the time of our lives, can’t recommend Camp Kindling enough! I only have one complaint.. we have to wait a whole year to go again! Bring on 2025 x
Amazing atmosphere with such fun activities. There wasn't a minute of the weekend where we weren't entertained or busy doing something fun. HIGHLY recommend!
Honestly we had the best time ever, it was our first time and surprisingly won’t be the last time, I would highly recommend camp kindling even if you go once it’s something you have to experience, I can’t explain how good it was. Jules and Lee, I would like to say thank you so much for creating such wonderful experiences.
Book it! Just book it! best weekend of the year every year!
We had an absolute blast at camp kindling! Making unforgettable memories, going down water slides, on zip lines, rock climbing, nerf gun wars and amazing live acts, team games and so much more! You name it, they had itWe cannot wait to come again! If you’re wanting to come here, I highly recommend it, but be quick as it’s very popular!
Great weekend, definitely go again even if general camping was a bit chaotic!
Camp Kindling is the most incredible experience. I've gone with my son the past two years and we always have the best time! The activities are fantastic, the entertainment is perfectly aimed at both kids and grownups, and the experience the Wildkind team have created is immensely rewarding and enriching. We love it!
Had an amazing experience in camp kindling. The kids had such fun that they were so sad to leave. As a parent (grown up) i can say that it was so inclusive for all ages. There was so much to do for kids and adults alike. Special mention to the flag making stall and cyanotype for giving the kids a memorable experience. Thank you camp kindling. I have already booked for next year thats how good it was.
Absolutely brilliant, really does sell the dream and follows through with, so many amazing things to do and try as a family. My 11 & 12 year old nephew love it ❤️

Great experience the whole family loved it. Great activities, great music and thankfully Great weather!

Honestly, the BEST weekend. The atmosphere was incredible. We really got into the patrol games and competitions (which is something other family festivals don't have) and loved all of our activities. Go foxes!!
Fantastic for the kids, well worth the money. Exciting activities all day. Get involved and have lots of fun. Go foxes!!!!!!!!
Fantastic Family Fun!As first-time attendees, we had an amazing experience that truly awakened my inner child while creating lasting memories with my young one. The friendly atmosphere, well-organised setup, and engaging activities all contributed to a wonderful experience. Thankfully, the weather brightened and warmed up for two out of the three days we attended, enhancing our time there.Overall, it was great value for money, and we both left with unforgettable memories. We’re definitely planning to return in 2025 if all goes well. Highly recommended!
