Woodland camping near Selby

·

Selby’s forest campsites offer deep woods, winding trails, and the kind of quiet you only find under a thick green canopy. With over 80 forest camping options in the area, you can pitch up among birch and oak, light a campfire, and bring your dog along for the adventure. Top picks like Woodsworth Exploring (35 reviews), Breaks Fold Farm Glamping & Camping (31 reviews), and Lincolnshire Lanes (12 reviews) come recommended by locals and regulars alike. You’ll find showers, pets accepted, and campfires allowed at many sites. Climbing, hiking, and wild swimming are all on your doorstep. Expect to pay around £110 per night on average, but you can find a spot for as little as £12. Bring decent boots—the trails get muddy after rain, and the forest air stays cool even in midsummer.
