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.

Authentic old school camping! Bring your own tent and stay in one our lovely private pitches. Our pitches are big enough to park your car and pitch a large family tent with plenty of space for sitting and BBQs. Our site is off grid so you will be provided with plenty of fresh water in containers. There are compost toilets dotted around the site which are cleaned daily and there is firewood and charcoal available to buy. We also have a little honesty shop selling a few bits and pieces that campers often forget to pack. The mushroom farm feels more like wild camping or a pioneers camp. It is not a manicured site so we recommend bringing an airbed for a comfortable sleep. But a positive you’ll be sharing it with wildlife – frequent visitors include songbirds, red kites, kestrels, owls, bats, lizards, frogs and toads, snakes, rabbits and hares, muntjac deer, mice, foxes, dragonflies, butterflies, moths and beetles… The camp is set on a mushroom farm with young trees and large areas left to rewild. This means flowering thistles and uneven ground so it may not be suitable for babies, very young children or people with health conditions. The 2025 camping season at the Mushroom farm is from Friday the 23rd of May until Sunday the 22rd of June. We are then closed for a few weeks but open again from Friday the 18th of July until Sunday the 17th of August.
