Such a beautiful setting, really is private with stunning views.
The check in instructions and how to find the tent were superb and made it so easy.
The tent itself is amazing, really cosy and comfortable and amazing furnishings.
Beds are very comfy and luxurious bedding and towels. Even the toilet toll was thick and luxurious.
Loved every second of our stay.

Lovely camp site and very welcoming hosts!
We stayed in the Foxglove tent and it was lovely. The communal kitchen has excellent amenities. There was an oven, gas hob, pizza over, bbq, plates, crockery, cutlery and things to wash up! You have your own cupboard, fridge and shower/toilet which was great!
Easy to get to and not far from some great hiking spots.
We had a great time and would stay again 😊

This was our second time to Gravel Pit Farm and we would come back over and over again! The perfect glamping experience especially with children and a dog. Just what we needed to switch off for a few days. There is lots to do locally with national trust castles very close. Annabel the host is kind and friendly too.

Where to go
Dunstable and the Chiltern Hills AONB
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.
