Campsites for hikers in River Thames

·

Pitch your tent along the River Thames and step straight onto hiking trails that wind through willows, meadows, and old towpaths. With over 400 tent camping spots that cater to ramblers, you’ll find sites with toilets, showers, and campfires-allowed—essentials after a long trek. The area isn’t just for walkers: swimming, wildlife-watching, and fishing all happen within earshot of the river. Top picks like The Barn KT9 (111 reviews), Hook Farm Campsite (105 reviews), and Radcot Leisure on Thames (97 reviews) come recommended by fellow campers. You’ll pay an average of £112 per night, but there are pitches as low as £10 if you’re watching your budget. Leave the city behind, throw your kit in the boot, and get ready for riverside trails that always lead somewhere new.

Cherry Orchard is a 60 acre Conservation Farm surrounded by heathland and woodland with miles of beautiful walking. This is a tranquil get-away and chance to soak in nature and completely unwind. Contact and booking via our website is of preference to here if you can we would appreciate it. The farm is for people who want to embrace the great outdoors and we recommend that you try and turn your phone off and become one with nature during your stay. There are a few facilities in the farmhouse outbuilding, such as a flushable toilet (free), shower and washing machine, which have extra a charge, but the camping is wild camping in a field not on a mown pitch. There is a good selection of pubs and restaurants nearby in Woburn (4 miles away, next to Woburn Safari) if you want to see some sights. There’s also a good pub in Great Brickhill and 3 pubs in Heath and Reach, walking distance from the farm plus two cafes in the Country Park.
