FAQs
What do I need to bring?
Spa Kit
Swimwear – Please see our etiquette guidelines below
Flip flops – not necessary but keeps your feet clean
2 towels – 1 for sitting on in sauna/1 for drying. Also available for hire
A refreshing drink from the camp shop – water is provided
Bath robe – especially when it’s cold
Just a little note – we’re a wild spa within a campsite, so please come dressed appropriately. Think wellies, not heels, and layers for comfort. Nature can be a bit muddy, but that’s all part of the fun.
Yoga
Wear layers as we practice outdoors, yoga mats are provided.
Massage
Nothing needed, just bring yourself and indulge in self care.
Are children allowed?
We regret to inform you that due to a change in our insurance policy, our minimum age for all spa activities is now 16 years old. Children can not be accommodated anywhere on site. We’re not able to have children anywhere within the spa boundary, including the entrance area. This is because the team must stay focused on fire and safety duties, and we can’t safely supervise children who are waiting for parents. Thank you for your understanding.
Can I bring my dog?
We’re unable to accommodate dogs within the spa area. Even though we’re outdoors, the spa is a quiet, fire led environment and even dogs waiting at the entrance can become distressed or disruptive for campers and other guests. For everyone’s comfort and safety, dogs need to stay outside the spa boundary.
How do I book a camping pitch?
Did you know we are based on an amazing campsite? If you wish to camp/glamp, head to the Wowo website HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: Wowo is 100% a family campsite and the feral children rule the site. If you are an adult only group you will not want to book to stay on May Bank Hols/June/July/August weekends and we suggest coming to stay mid-week for the Wednesday Sauna Weekly women’s Thursday Sauna instead.
Booking camping or glamping in April (also wild garlic season here!) or October on weekends or mid-week for adults only are the best options when the campsite will be more peaceful.
Or we advise you book to stay on peak season weekends in other local (smaller) campsites (Ouse valley or Kitts campsites) and walk to come to the spa here at wowo.
Will I be sharing a sauna?
Yes – All our spa tickets are public sessions,
If you would prefer to hire the spa privately, you will need to contact us via email (hello@wildspawowo.com).
How do I reschedule a session?
If you want to change to a different date and it is within our cancellation period, you can manage your booking here.
How do I cancel a session?
Please read our terms and conditions before you cancel.
If you are within the allowed cancellation period, you can cancel your booking here.
What is the Sauna etiquette (re nudity/towels, etc)?
We are in the process of exploring different bathing cultures with regards to nudity. We want to find a balance whereby we honour the sauna traditions which we admire but also understand that attitudes in the UK are mixed in this aspect.
After reviewing feedback we have decided to make clothing mandatory from the waist down.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we adapt and evolve our sauna etiquette to better suit our community.
Nudist Sessions will be ran on the second Sunday of every month. Please note this is the only session where clothing is optional. On all other sessions, clothing is mandatory from the waist down.
I lost an item at the spa – what should I do?
Any lost and found items will be stored for 2 months. If not collected within this time, any items will be given to charity or discarded. If you think you have lost any items, please get in touch as soon as possible at hello@wildspawowo.co.uk to see if we can locate the item and store it until you’re able to collect within 2 months. Wild Spa Wowo is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged personal belongings. For valuables such as jewellery, we will store for 6 months.
Are there changing rooms/lockers/showers?
We have a changing area onsite and cold, freshwater showers.
Can I share a slot with my friend or partner?
No, we can’t adjust the pricing. Our rates are set per person, regardless of how long you choose to stay.
How can I purchase extras and treatments?
We offer a full spa menu to include homemade salt scrubs and clay masks. You can order treatments on the day at the spa reception. We always recommend booking massages in advance.
Our platters, masks and scrubs are per person, but they can be shared between 2 if less product is required.
Food and drink policy – can we bring alcohol/nibbles?
We have a strict no-alcohol policy at our spa. We also reserve the right to deny entry to anyone who we deem to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, without a refund or credit. You are welcome to bring along soft drinks to re-hydrate you during your visit. You can bring nibbles too if required (salty is good for post sauna mineral replacement) but we don’t allow food inside the saunas themselves.
Can I Purchase a Gift Card?
Yes, they are available to buy here.
Adverse weather conditions
We will close if there is stormy weather with gusts of wind over 60mph, otherwise we are open in all weathers. Having a sauna in the rain, sleet and snow is the most invigorating thing! We can’t give refunds or credits for bad weather if we are open.
