The team that makes it run smoothly…
Campsite Wardens:
Helen and Bruno have joined the team to look after Wild Boar Wood Campsite in 2026.
They first arrived at Wild Boar Wood in March on their bicycles, with daft sandal tan lines and worn-out chains. They had just flown into Gatwick, after a seven month cycling tour from Scotland to Senegal. After pitching their teeny tent in the Sahara night after night, upgrading to a shepherd’s hut in Wild Boar Wood was a treat! Once they’ve welcomed new arrivals to the woods, they spend their time fermenting, brewing, baking and gardening. Ask Bruno about his latest idea for a children’s book about camping; Helen will gladly share tips on local running routes.
In the office: Hugh and Steve
Hugh, is the man behind Beech Estate and Wild Boar Wood Campsites (formerly Eco Camp UK). An Aussie by birth and a Brightonian by choice, Hugh started Eco Camp UK back in 2010, since renamed Pegs and Pitches Camping. His idea was to provide the essence of wild camping in a way that was environmentally friendly, easy and enjoyable for families. Hugh is married with three children.
Steve is the Booking and Admin Executive and will likely be the person you’ll talk to on the phone or via email if you have any questions. Steve and his family also live in Brighton, and have a great love of the outdoors and are keen campers in their spare time. Steve still enjoys getting up and down the football pitch and walking the family dog.
