THE ACCOMMODATION
Campers stay in comfortable, dormitory‑style accommodation at a residential site right in the heart of the New Forest, set across a 65‑acre woodland park. The accommodation is spread across three main residential buildings, each offering shared dormitory rooms and communal spaces designed to encourage social interaction and a strong camp‑life atmosphere.
Staff stay within the accommodation block or nearby to provide overnight support without sharing rooms, with regular night-time checks to make sure everyone is safe and resting. Boys and girls are housed in separate rooms. Our team is always nearby—day and night.
Staff are DBS-checked and receive intensive training before camp begins. This includes safeguarding, emergency response, and first aid training, so they’re fully prepared to care for your child in every situation.
The rooms are simple but welcoming, with shared dorm setup and basic furnishings to keep the focus on the outdoor experience.
All campers are provided with full board: breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, as well as drinks, so families don’t need to worry about meals during their stay.
The site includes large outdoor areas for activities, open spaces to relax, and secure, supervised facilities that support our safety‑first approach. This combination of comfortable residential buildings and expansive natural surroundings creates the ideal setting for an unforgettable summer‑camp experience.

Families travelling within the UK can use a dedicated shuttle bus service that runs between selected pick‑up points and the camp site, making arrival and departure easier and more convenient.
