Scenic, spacious, and well-suited for families, Arthingworth Camping provides a pop-up campsite for tents and campervans, in glorious Northamptonshire countryside. Affordable and back-to-basics, this six-acre riverbank spot is a haven for adventurers—cycle along the Brampton Valley Way, explore the eerie Kelmarsh Tunnel, and conclude your day with a two-minute stroll to the local pub.
The generous pitches ensure you and yours have enough room to relax and play games, and you can choose where to set up your tent—Sidom’s Ford River runs through the site, so you can pitch near its bank. Amenities are very basic—there's no hot water or showers—but you still have portaloos, a composting toilet block and even a lovely farm pantry providing locally sourced treats (pop in to pick up local honey, eggs, or firewood for your hireable firepit).
Remember to pack your walking boots to explore the various local routes; all handily signposted on a map provided by your Host, Eva. Arthingworth Camping is dog friendly, so it's a good place to wear out your four-legged friend too. Eva has set up a doggy station on camp to ensure your pooch is well-pampered with treats and a water bowl.
Further afield, drive out to the attractive nearby town of Market Harborough, voted one of the best places to live in the Midlands and a thriving hub of independent shops and handsome old buildings, or spend the day exploring Northampton.
