Facilities & Accommodation
On-site camping
Ideal for camping with a wide range of areas on-site to accommodate camps of all sizes from a small group to a large-scale camp of 2,500+ people. With excellent facilities available, wherever you choose to pitch your tent, you’ll never be far from toilets, showers and basins. Many of our camping sites also have fire spots and we can provide altar fires for you to fully immerse yourself in your camping experience.

Why worry about having to bring lots of bulky equipment with you? Whether you’re completely new to camping, or just need a couple of extra bits and pieces for your group, just give us a call and we’ll arrange equipment hire (includes hike tents suitable for two people, larger patrol tents for up to six, mess tents and marquees for dining and events, wooden collapsible tables and benches, ring burners and gas for cooking).
Tented village
Our tented village is made up four-man tunnel tents with porch and sleeping area and comes complete with comfortable mattresses, so all the hard work has been taken care of for you – well, most of it! There’s also a group tent with tables, benches, lighting and a basic camp kitchen. It’s a great alternative to the standard camping experience or even staying in a lodge.
