Weekend Trip to Forest Garden Camp Spot Cardiff

A really beautiful spot to spend time in. An alternative place not like a run of the mill camping field, you are camping close to Michele and Chris’s home and in their much loved land/garden/farm. The camper van spot can really only take a VW (SWB) sized van but the use of the outside kitchen and space makes up for the squeeze. The tent space is further away and does feel wild. There was plenty of shade and spots to sit. The rail line and road do mean there is at times some noise but I often use ear plugs camping and I wasn’t disturbed. Shower and toilet are in their house but beautiful maintained and clean and easily accessible without feeling you are disturbing them.

I would definitely recommend, great hosts who went above and beyond to make sure our trip was easy and enjoyable. Fab little place to stay if you like a rustic stay allowing you to feel closer to nature. The breakfast made with home grown produce was amazing and I highly recommend. We will be back again 😊
