Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

We loved camping at the farm, the site is so secluded and peaceful- lots of wildlife to see and hear!. So relaxing.

1 night at Treflach Farm

5 nights at Abbey Home Farm

Abbey Home Farm Campsite is a real find if you’re looking for a peaceful, rural getaway. I loved the quietness and natural feel of the site – it’s surrounded by countryside and feels properly off-grid in the best way. It’s particularly great for families with young children. The site limits cars and doesn’t allow dogs, which made it feel really safe and relaxed for our kids to explore and enjoy the outdoors. There’s a gentle, welcoming atmosphere throughout. The on-site shop and café were excellent – stocked with fresh, organic produce and really tasty food. Everything is thoughtfully done and clearly in tune with the farm’s ethos. I had to delay my trip at the last minute, and the team were incredibly understanding, letting me shift the booking and even stay on extra days. That kind of flexibility and kindness made a big difference. There are beautiful walks straight from the site and plenty of local amenities nearby if needed – although honestly, once you’re there, you might not want to leave. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy a slower pace in a gorgeous, family-friendly setting.

2 nights at Bredon-Vale Caravan and Camping

We had a lovely stay at the one and only Bell Tent there (glamping-wise, they also offer 2 wooden pods and a vintage caravan), it was set-up as described and included a small fridge and kettle and cups (which all came in useful). Although we didn't take it up, there's fresh croissants in the morning, which you will need to order the night before. The facilities were modern and clean, couldn't ask for any more. And the shop supplies the essentials. A+ It was dead quiet whilst we were there, just how i'd liked it, I would say it was only a third full so noise wasn't a problem. There are suggested local walks pinned up in one of the out-houses which are worth doing, esp down to and along the River Avon. If the kids are bored, the nearby Valley complex is worth visiting, where there is a (rather short!) mini-train ride for the smaller ones, and a crazy-golf and high-ropes for the older ones. Would definately recommend this place!

2 nights at Red Sky at Night Campsite

We loved our time there. Beautiful view. Family friendly. Good communication. Very close to cider farm, castles and ice cream farm so a very good spot for us. Have to plan for no shower on site but that adds to the fun.

4 nights at Intake Farm

Beautiful site, lovely people and the kids loved the animals. Nice walks from the area. Brilliant campsite

1 night at Shire Camping

Great spot for a weekend camping. Lovely site that is well looked after. Harry was a welcoming host and the site hits just the right balance with all the facilities you need with compromising the feeling of simple camping. We will visit again.

Weekend Trip to Shire Camping

Lovely well-maintained site. Quiet and spacious. We liked the meadow feel between pitches, good toilets and showers, plus the pop-up pizza oven was a fab bonus!

Weekend Trip to Panpwnton Campsite

Lovely campsite, in a lovely setting. 10 min walk into Knighton, 30 minute drive to Llandrindod Wells. Fire pits available to hire, lovely toilet/shower block. I’m sure we will be back 😀

4 nights at Gwersyllt Rhos y Gallt Campsite

What a brilliant stay from start to finish. John the owner is such a lovely guy and goes out of his way to help wherever possible. The site is very clean and is surrounded by a beautiful countryside with a lovely river (shallow) in the bottom field for you to paddle in. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here it's perfect

1 night at Abbey Home Farm

We loved it. Amazing view, flat pitches, basic but clean amenities, great shop and incredibly quiet fellow campers. Highly recommended!

1 night at Digeddi Wildlife Camping

Amazing place, very peaceful and very beautiful, the surroundings are idyllic, amazing pitch, right next to the river, lovely to swim in, and the fire pits are an added bonus, you cannot go wrong with this site, and the host is lovely, makes you feel more than welcome, we will definitely be back, Antony and Lou

Weekend Trip to Alder Carr Farm

Great back to basics camping on a working farm in the beautiful Dovedale area of Derbyshire. A large peaceful field to ourselves with a campfire and access to the river. Alex is a very friendly and helpful owner.

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

We had a lovely time. The campsite is great and the facilities clean. The views were amazing and there was lots of space. I would definitely recommend the site. Worth noting the check-in time is 5pm. We were a bit late but found everyone helpful. it could have been difficult to sort though if we hadnt lucked out. So make sure you speak to them!

Weekend Trip to Treflach Farm

Camped for three nights over the May bank holiday, three of us and a dog. The site and facilities were incredible, Stef and Ian were lovely and so helpful. We picked a bad weekend weather wise and so the Leyland Arms was a god send! The whole place was spotless and has everything you could possibly need. We'll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Panpwnton Campsite

Camping at panpwyton farm was excellent.the farm is within the hills of Shropshire with great views. Plenty of places to go walking. With a river running through the campsite which my lil one enjoyed playing in most of the weekend. Enjoyed the wake-up call of sheep first thing in the morning. Def be returning soon. Roxanne was a great host and very polite

2 nights at Abbey Home Farm

This was a great find and I had a lovely 2 nights at Abbey Farm! I was in a small van, the field for vans is at the top and surrounded by hedgerows, it is still lovely but without the amazing views you would have with a tent. The site is no vehicles which is totally understandable. Having walked around I can imagine the area with the pitches cut in the flower meadow will be absolutely stunning in a few weeks when the flowers come through! I sat there last night and watched the sunset, listening to the birds, the lambs, what’s not to love over the rolling hills! There were hares running around this morning too. There is a walk through the woods to the farm shop and cafe. The facilities were as described, the 2 showers were heated, they are in a wooden structure in the woods, but there is something quite nice about hearing the birds chirp away whilst your in the shower. The toilets are long drop composting loos, they were clean enough, and were cleaned whilst I was there, you will need your own loo roll and hand sanitiser though. It really is a gem of a campsite and one that I’ll definitely return to.

Red Sky at Night Campsite

11 units · Motorhomes, Tents10 acres · Monmouth, Wales

If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars - we are under one of Wales' Dark Sky Reserves! This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent (weather permitting). Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell local eggs & sausages) and buy bags of wood & kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them on a lead. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Get a fact sheet on arrival and join mini-campers in wildlife hunts through the trees, looking out all the while for buzzards and red kites. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings, making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There’s also a football pitch. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a covered sink areas with fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.

There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up.

The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit).

Camping in Wyre Forest guide

Overview

Welcome to one of England’s most important spreads of oak wood and its largest forest NNR, set just beyond the western edge of the Midlands’ urban sprawl. Wyre Forest, its tree cover all designated either an NNR or SSSI, is a favourite for woodsy walks, running, gentle cycling, horse riding, and its Go Ape centre treetop ropes course. The best camping can be found along the southern edge, either at Bewdley or just beyond the main entrance. The forest is conveniently positioned for exploration by train too, with Severn Valley’s Bewdley, Northwood Holt, and Arley stations all flanking its eastern edge.

Where to go

Bewdley

Bewdley, hanging off Wyre Forest’s southeast corner, is the nearest community and a long-serving tourist destination on the River Severn. It’s well-known for its riverfront Georgian houses and iconic 1798 bridge designed by Thomas Telford. Several grand country house estates can also be seen while heading south to Stourport-on-Severn. To see the area’s natural beauty, the Severn’s best stretch for canoeing runs between Bridgnorth and Bewdley, and it’s an easy walk on pretty paths into Wyre Forest from town. Bewdley also boasts access to a number of family-friendly campsites and glamping sites.

Visitor Centre & the South Side

The main entrance into Wyre Forest is two miles west of Bewdley. This is the nexus of forest activity with a café, three way-marked walking trails, running trails, cycling routes, and bridleways alongside the visitor centre. The most interesting trail loops north around an arboretum, which hosts the unusual whitty pear among many other species. Camping awaits a short distance along the road from the main forest entrance toward Far Forest.

River Severn & the East Side

The eastern borderlands of the forest are framed by the River Severn, where the best stretch of kayaking on the UK’s longest river beckons, plus the long-distance Severn Way (east bank) and Geopark/North Worcestershire Ways (west bank). There are some excellent riverside campsites perfectly poised for forest forays as well—search for the best spots in the Bewdley area or near Pound Green.

Buttonoak, Earnwood Copse, and the North Side

Wyre Forest’s northern portion is less crowded, and forest-ensconced Buttonoak makes the best all-round base, with a pub and camping at nearby Pound Green. Just northwest of here, the car park at Earnwood Copse serves as a good launch point for hitting the woodsy trails. It’s also the north of the forest that has most of the NNR-designated and most ecologically important forest.
