Campsites for hikers near Dunstable

·

If you’re serious about hiking, Dunstable puts you right at the edge of some of southern England’s best trails, with over 400 campsites tailored to walkers. You’ll find pitches tucked into green farmland, on the fringes of woods, and near chalk hills that stretch towards the horizon. Campfires are allowed at many sites—perfect for warming up after a long ramble. Showers, pet-friendly spots, and easy access to footpaths are common, so you won’t have to rough it. Prices average around £95 per night, but you can score a pitch for as little as £10. Local favourites include The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Radcot Leisure on Thames (97 reviews), and Cotswolds Camping (59 reviews). Wildlife-watching and fishing round out the experience, but it’s the walking that draws most travellers. Bring sturdy boots and expect to leave tired but satisfied.
