A very warm welcome from Nigel at the site, with explanation of the site.
We loved staying in one of the pre-pitched bell tents, so cosy and warm with very comfy beds! Warm shower and clean composting loo. Helpful little things like the - rechargeable lanterns for use and bottle lanterns when it got dark. A plus too, lots of kitchen ware and crockery.

My experience at fleet paddock was everything I had hoped for and more all the facilities were clean and well kept , I shared the family bell tent with friends and it had everything we needed for a memorable evening, the campsite was pretty busy but still maintained a peaceful family vibe, I would highly recommend this camping site to anyone wanting to escape the chaos of city life and connect with nature.
For me the highlight was the clear sky's at night which revealed the most stars I have ever seen it was amazing 👏 🤩

My recent glamping trip in a bell tent was absolutely great, perfectly blending tranquil nature with a comfortable double bed; soft blankets and pillows and the spacious and thoughtfully decorated bell tent ready and waiting for us. We were able to immediately relax and enjoy our surroundings. It was the perfect escape for anyone who has had a long week at work and loves camping with a touch of luxury.
The sun was shinning and it was wonderful to lie hammock! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Beautiful spot! I love that each plot has it's own BBQ and fire pit, this really made a difference to our stay. The games are a great touch and being able to walk to the cafe for a coffee and sausage roll in the morning was the icing on the cake. Honesty box for wood and coal, drinking water, clean (flushing!) toilets and showers, everything you could need. Can't wait to come back.

We had a wonderful time, excellent location by the river, pub and town. It was very quiet and we had enough space for our three families to run around and enjoy all the nature available! We hired the canoe and paddle boards which were fab. The beds were very comfortable and warm, toilets and showers were decent enough but did get messy quickly with all the usage. The wash up station was very basic and some of the outside benches were a bit tatty so because of that, probably an 8/10 BUT great for families.

Right on Luton’s doorstep, Dunstable offers a convenient gateway into the Chiltern Hills AONB. Hiking and biking trails abound, while bird-watchers can get their kicks spotting reintroduced red kites. Whether you’re after basic-to-basics camping in remote woodlands or glamping experiences closer to town, these rolling hills provide many options.
Bedfordshire
This rural county is a haven for hikers, bikers, and canoeists, thanks to outdoor attractions such as the Bedford River Valley Park and Forest of Marston Vale. Working farms, riverside retreats, and caravan parks provide ample accommodation options, all within easy reach of the airport town.
The Cotswolds AONB
Around two hours’ drive west of Luton, this iconic English landscape boasts charming villages, country parks, and undulating hillside, making it a firm favourite among outdoor enthusiasts. Glamping is becoming a major draw in the area, with wild-style campsites and caravan parks providing more traditional camping options.
London
Contrary to its urban reputation, the English capital is actually home to many camping-friendly green spaces, making it easy to combine city sightseeing with outdoor adventure. West London’s Colne Valley Park and northeast London’s Lee Valley Park are both around a half-hour drive from Luton, while green belt counties such as Kent, Surrey, and Essex boast their own camping hotspots.
When to go
Across the UK, camping is at its most popular during summer, thanks to higher chances of dry ground, plus longer days and temperate weather. However, autumn and winter have their own charms, including fewer crowds, especially around busy airport towns like Luton, and dramatic landscape views.
Know before you go
- Luton is reasonably well connected, with a direct trainline into London. If you plan to visit more remote spots, however, it’s worth hiring or bringing a vehicle.
- Only some campsites offer gear hire, so you’ll need to check in advance. Basic supplies can be picked up from the Army Surplus or Halfords in central Luton, though for more specialist items you may need to head a little further out.
