After successful pop-up season in 2021, we joined forces with the lovely gang from The Greener Camping Club and decided to expand a little with addition of two woodland pitches and our shepherd’s hut. Club’s eco-credentials and gentle approach to environment appealed to us and we are now members only site. This means that we are going through rigorous inspection annually to make sure we offer high standard of service to our guests and take on stricter club’s terms and conditions. When you book with us you will be enrolled as a member of the club at a small fee of £12/year per family. This gives you access to some of the finest, greenest and cherry-picked campsites and glamping sites in UK. It also means that we get a tree for every member we introduce! Please let us know your favourite native tree and we will try to plant it at our campsite in the Autumn.
We’d love to share our home patch with you and are looking forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy your stay.
