About Bewl Water Campsite

Bewl Water's campsite is a great place for a family break in a beautiful natural setting. If you are looking for a place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors by the water, this campsite ticks all the boxes. This is the perfect environment for families, couples and small groups who want a chance to enjoy the outdoors. There are three zones to choose from. Zones A and C have spacious non-electric grass pitches, suitable for tents with parking nearby. While Zone B is reserved for campervans and tent pitches (8m x 10m) with parking on your pitch. Enjoy the great outdoor experience where you can soak up views across the reservoir. Pitches are set out in an open space with plenty of room for children to run around, plus quiet areas to doze in the summer sun as well as plenty of communal space to meet your fellow campers. Loud music, large groups or stag and hen parties are not permitted. Please note, the lane to the site is just off the A21 and there can be occasional road noise. Dogs are welcome onsite. Please note, opening times for watersport activities may vary and costs apply. Pedalos are only available in the school summer holidays.

Bewl Water Campsite is open from 01/05 to 30/09.

A note from the site themselves...

One thing we are extremely passionate about is making sure to enhance the woodlands and secure their future. We work closely alongside The Woodland Trust to make sure we are taking care of our environment.

The trust owns and cares for well over 1,250 sites covering almost 30,000 hectares across the UK. Ancient semi-natural woods only cover 2.5% of UK grounds and this includes the three woods that make up Bewl Water.

Combewell, Pig and Frogwell are irreplaceable habitats and are therefore recognised as a natural asset, important for the rare and threatened species of wildlife that live here. We look forward to welcoming you to explore our site soon, Kevin

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches (Zone B)Aug 2024

Great family weekend away! Slightly lacking in evening entertainment but plenty to do during the day. it would be lovely if an area of the reservoir could be used for swimming, we went to the aqua park which was brilliant fun, the water was warm too! Highly recommend!

Great for water sports but poor facilities

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Zone A)May 2024

Very convenient location for those who enjoyed water sports or the water park. Staff are very nice and friendly. Felt the facilities need improvement - 4 toilets and 2 wash up for more than 20 groups and water in shower was not hot enough.

Fantastic campsite

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Zone A)May 2024

What a great place, would highly recommend. Our toddler absolutely loved the play parks and the woods. Nice little touches like decent dishwashing sinks with hot water.
