About the site
This small and green site sits at the top of a lane, alongside an expansive stretch of common and parkland (more than 400 hectares!). The common is charming and packed with wildlife - as you'd expect, being part of an enormous National Trust estate. Shy deer can be spotted at times and it's a very special place. Relax in your tent and get back to the natural world. Pitches don't offer electric, but there is space for a small campfire so that you can cosy up and stargaze. Dogs welcome by prior arrangement.
Open from 1 March to 31 October

Things to do on site and in the Berkhamsted area
A 30 minute stroll will take you to historic Aldbury and it's just a couple of miles to the Valiant Trooper pub. The Sunday roast here is highly recommended but you can also take a longer walk along the canal to Berkhamsted and find lots of great places to eat and drink.
In the spring you'll love seeing bluebells blossom in Ashridge's woodland. Saunter for a while and then indulge in a tasty cake in the estate tea room.
The remains of Berkhamsted Castle are a 35 minute walk along the canal from the campsite and they couldn't be better for a family picnic.
