Kayaking on the River Brue from the campsite

1 night at Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Peaceful riverside retreat. Well set out camping pitches and great basic facilities.

1 night at Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Great for a semi wild camping experience! It was a lovely spot.

3 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Cwmffrwd Farm is a magical place. Somewhere we definitely want to come back to. The campsite is peaceful and beautiful. Pridie is a wonderful host running farm and campsite in harmony with nature with composting loos and no vehicles on the field. The sauna is a hidden jem we enjoyed enormously on a rather wet and windy day. Magic!

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

The site is amazing, it feels like truly wild camping but with an air of safety allowing you to relax. David was brilliant, he came round to see if everyone was ok each day and answered any questions. George the horse was lovely and the river front was so peaceful almost like you had been transported back in time. Overall 10/10 we will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

The best campsite we’ve been to! A few of us took to Alex’s place as it was a great meeting spot between the Wirral and Manchester. With the weather being 30 degrees the wild swimming was an incredible additional. We had a whole field to our selves which was great for playing rounders. It felt so special having it all private. Alex was a great host and was there if we needed anything at all. Thank you and I would recommend this campsite to anyone in the future! Best of luck with everything 😊

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Beautiful secluded campsite. Perfect place to go camping with my toddler. We both had an amzing time. We will definitely be camping here again!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Quiet, tranquil, basic. All you could possibly need

Weekend Trip to Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

Incredible views and friendly hosts! A proper escape from the world!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

Very relaxing campsite. Everything was perfect, kitchen space is very handy, facilities may not be luxurious enough for some but I love the rustic, natural feel and appropriate little extras in the bathroom i.e shower gels/soaps and all organic too. And not having a designated pitch is a luxury enough! What a treat. Would recommend 100%

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Perfect location for wanting to get away, there is a horse on a separate part of the land which loves attention. Would recommend

Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

What an incredible campsite! It really does feel wild and free, and it's hard to tear yourself away. The river is wonderful to swim in (for children and adults, there are shallow areas, deep areas and two beach strips - one pebble, one silt!), which was an absolute blessing on the boiling hot days we were there. There's a brilliant range of pitches (field, next to the river, deeper in the woods, in a woodland glade.) It felt safe having our dog off lead on the quieter day, with sheep fencing on the borders of the site. Everybody camping there was lovely, which was a bonus! Owner David was very friendly and popped by once a day. I'd recommend bringing supplies to deal with wasps and horse flies, as they were somewhat prolific and we all were bitten whilst we were there. Citronella candles worked well. The bonus to the insect life was being able to watch the bats catch them at dusk! It's a wonderful site for wildlife. Compost toilet was excellent: clean, minimal aroma and well stocked. We absolutely loved it and hope to return as soon as possible.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Restful Relaxing Campsite

We had a lovely couple of nights camping. There is plenty of space so no one was pitched close to us. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were useful and the games are a nice touch. The jetty for launching our kayak was good, although the river was quite weedy, it was a very relaxing paddle though. We didn’t get firewood, but the option to buy logs and the use of the fire pits is a nice option. Within 10 miles of Glastonbury and Bridgewater but off the beaten track, so really peaceful.

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Hidden gem campsite, really private and beautifully located next to a river. My partner and I really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back many more times.

2 nights at Alder Carr Farm

Such a lovely site, right next to the river. Very private and access to water. Alex was really good and sorted us out with firewood. 10/10!!!

1 night at Alder Carr Farm

My family had a brilliant time! They loved everything about it, from the peaceful location to the river and fire pit. Thanks so much.

4 nights at Bredy Farm

We really enjoyed our stay at Bredy Farm, which is set in gorgeous countryside & is close to many fabulous beaches along the Jurassic Coast. As they advertise, the campsite can & does get noisy on a Friday & Saturday night, but it's blissfully quiet on weeknights so it's all a question of balance. Having a pool, a bar, a great Italian restaurant & live music/ DJs just over the road on the main farm site means that there's loads to keep you entertained if you're feeling lively/ don't want to cook. All in all, a fun place to stay & a great base for exploring this part of Dorset.

2 nights at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite

I love this campsite! Lush spot, awesome hosts! My go to for camping 🏕 😌

Weekend Trip to South Dean Camping

Simple but lovely campsite with stunning views. Very exposed, so be prepared for the changing weather

Weekend Trip to South Dean Camping

This place is a real gem! Simple but beautiful - exactly what we love. The fields overlook the sea and are right on the coast path. The countryside surrounding it is peaceful and picturesque. The toilets and showers were great. Nothing bad at all to say about this place - we will definitely be going back!

Charlbury Rise Camping

20 units · Tents6 acres · Chipping Norton, England

Whether you’re heading to the Cotswolds for early August’s Wilderness Festival at Cornbury Park, the almost-endless walking options or simply a peaceful weekend escape, Charlbury Rise Camping, edging the pretty market town of Charlbury, covers all bases. There’s no fuss – just back-to-basics camping in the middle of lots of Cotswolds action, with the welcome addition of easy parking and rail access too. Bear in mind that this is off-grid camping with simple facilities: grass pitches, portable loos, fresh water and cold-water showers. Starry skies on clear nights and open space to unwind are added bonuses, but please note there is no electricity. Pitch up in the meadow set on a gentle rise, surrounded by ancient hedgerows and farmland, and you’ll wake up to birdsong, the sound of church bells in the distance and views over the rooftops of one of the Cotswolds’ most attractive market towns. From your pitch, wander into Charlbury (10 minutes’ walk) for supplies or a pint at one of the village pubs, discover re-wilding woodland on strolls through Wychwood Forest, or take the short drive to Chipping Norton (15 minutes’ drive) and a certain very well-known farm shop. As well as attending gigs at the Wilderness Festival from your pitch (half an hour’s walk), a stay at Charlbury Rise Camping puts you in pole position for exploring the Cotswolds National Landscape. Historic Burford (20 minutes’ drive), with its combination of mellow-stone cottages and half-timbered houses, is popular for its antiques shops, while Stow-on-the-Wold (half an hour) centres on a vast market square surrounded by a labyrinth of lanes packed with indie boutiques and eateries. See how the other half once lived with a look around the Palladian mansion at Ditchley Park (10 minutes, guided tours by appointment only). Alternatively, spend the day discovering manicured gardens, strolling vast tracts of woodland and touring numerous historical displays at humongous and lavish Blenheim Palace (15 minutes), the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Those of you with a taste for the finer things in life have your pick of Michelin-starred Cotswold restaurants, gourmet pubs and a store filled with organic produce at Daylesford. And let’s not forget the (almost) obligatory visit to Diddly Squat.

Summers Camp

51 units · Tents9 acres · England

Whether you’re exploring down the local footpaths that crisscross the countryside or tracking down ponies and canoeing ventures in the New Forest National Park, a stay at Summers Camping by Pitching It will help you tune into your adventurous side. This spacious site is spread over 10 acres of Dorset countryside, with many corners left over to nature. That means you can expect to see wildflowers and birds around the place and find lots of opportunities to get out and explore more. This pop-up site is in the small village of Burton, a 10-minute drive from England’s south coast and the New Forest National Park. Summers Camping by Pitching It is an off-grid site so you should get dark skies at night, but LED fairy lights create laidback festival-style vibes (as well as making a great backdrop for your holiday selfies). Acoustic entertainment is also occasionally on the agenda. It’s safe to say that this friendly site also has good amenities including hot showers, toilets, a coffee cart and an occasional pop-up bar. Food vans often visit the site, which is good news for those seeking easy meals at the end of a busy day. If you'd rather cook for yourself, hire a firepit and get grilling (logs and firewood are also sold on site). As for the location, well, things are indeed convenient. The site is under a mile from two pubs, a post office and a convenience store, and there’s a pick-your-own farm shop and bakery five minutes’ drive away. Nearby seaside spots like Avon beach and Highcliffe Castle can be reached in about 10 minutes, while the stunning South West Coast Path starts about 10 miles west in Poole (30 minutes’ drive).

Shotover Country Park Wild Camping

1 unit · Tent7 acres · England

Our 7 acre property is a mixture of woodland and meadows with a fresh water spring and several fruit and nut trees. It is wild and mysterious with amazing sunsets and we are just a stones throw away from Shotover Country Park, which is the real Narnia. C S Lewis lived on the edge of Shotover woods and so we can fairly assume that Shotover is the inspiration for the Narnia trilogy. Shotover Country Park is one of Oxfords best kept secrets and consists of 280 acres of freely accessible woodland and open countryside. It is a paradise for dog walkers, horse riders and cyclists and also has natural sandpits for children to enjoy. We will be offering woodland rides from this location in 2026 as we need to do some fencing work first.

Overview

Nestled amidst awe-inspiring landscapes in Herefordshire, Symonds Yat is a camper's paradise.
