Epping Forest camp sites allowing fires

[Indigenous man]

Would anyone know of a good campsite in Epping Forest, open at this time of the year, and which allows camp fires?

I'm taking my 10 yr old lad on an adventure ("yeh dad").

Also, if there's any London based flint knappers out there, willing to share thoughts/techniques with a complete novice, it would be great to hear from you.

Regards

Dane

So did you find any spots?
Also if you have say a larger version of a hobo stove or kelly kettle type things, are sites more lenient about using them than real 'fires'...?

I mean its vertually a BBQ.....? well kinda.

Debden Green campsite allows campfires

Debden Green is the place. I've been a couple of times, its huge, right next to the forest and all the wood you need for fires is provided as long as you can drag the logs, which are huge, to you pitch. It can get a bit loud at the weekend but during the week is very peaceful.

Best to check with them before going though as I recall you need to provide some form of ID before being allowed in.
