Camp

Dark Skies is a back to nature, unplugged, eco-camping experience. The perfect peaceful place to chill out, relax and enjoy a campfire under the starry next sky after a day out exploring the local wilderness. 


ACCESS: The pitches are spacious, secluded and car free, helping you to get fully back to nature. This means there is no vehicle access to drop your kit off. Each pitch, other than Bluebell, is approximately 5 minutes walk from the parking area. There are wheelbarrows available to transport your kit. Please make sure you are happy and able to carry and push everything you wish to take to your pitch!

Camper van pitch

We have a spacious camper van pitch (pictured above). This is tucked away in its own field, on the other side of the track to Stream Field. This pitch is for just one van and up to 4 people. There is room for an additional tent. Maximum camper van length is 7m. Sorry, we don't accept motor homes or chemical toilets. 

The Glade

Tucked in along the riverbank, the Glade is a very special one acre woodland clearing next to the stream, with several pebble beaches and its own private access and compost toilet. It is surrounded by ancient oaks, superb alder coppice and hazel and has a mountain glimpse. It is very sheltered. Spend evenings looking up at the stars through the canopy and watching bats fly overhead. There are steep steps down to The Glade so you must be happy carrying your kit down. Plenty of room for more than one tent. Up to 6 people.
