Campsites with swimming in Dalby Forest

Dalby Forest draws swimmers with its clear streams and forest pools, and you’ll find over a dozen campsites here geared for those who want to get straight in the water. Pitch your tent under tall pines, then head out for a morning dip or a lazy afternoon by the river. Sites like Breaks Fold Farm Glamping & Camping (31 reviews), Dobella Lane Farm Certificated Site (9 reviews), and Dale Farm Holidays (5 reviews) let you bring pets, light campfires, and have a proper toilet close by. Prices start at £12 a night, with most spots averaging around £52. Hike the forest trails, spot deer at dawn, then cool off with a swim—Dalby delivers the full wild-camping package, just with a few more facilities than you’d expect in the middle of the woods.

Really well laid out site. Quite steep in places with rough ground but fine if you are mobile. Toilet and shower facilities are excellent, as is the wash up area with phone charging facilities and shared fridges. Fantastic base to explore the area, right next to the Thurscross reservoir.

I found the campsite easy to find, Margaret is lovely. I camped in the orchard with my tent. I enjoyed my stay and I was made to feel welcome. There is one toilet there near to reception and portable water. I would stay again and recommend it to, Thank you Margaret 😀

A lovely place to stay for camping with the kids, even with the midges :). The toilets were immaculate and plenty of shower rooms. We had a mix up with our pitch (i thought i had booked an electric pitch but it hadn't went through on hipcamp), the owner was brilliant and very accommodating. I wouldn't hesitate to book again if we are down that way.
