About Sunset Tree Camping
Connecting community with nature. This idyllic camping site provides a creative back-to-nature experience for families and friends alike. Think festival vibes and sunset skies! Campers can choose to pitch up in the main camping field, closer to the secret woods, or opt for the quiet family area at the top of the site with beautiful countryside views. With over two and a half acres of farm fields to choose from, it will never feel overcrowded. The two pre-pitched bell tents provide guests with a touch of luxury while still providing a unique camping experience. Sleeping up to four, they are equipped with a futonbed, tables, carpet, solar fairy lights, and private outdoor space. Guests are required to bring their own bedding. This site has imagination at its forefront. During your stay, discover exciting art installations, kids' activities, storytelling and wellbeing workshops. In the evenings, make your way to 'The Heart' of the site, the communal campfire. Here you'll connect with others amongst the nature and woodland surrounds. Whether it's playing the guitar, sharing stories with strangers or getting cosy by the fire, you'll be completely absorbed in the site's quirky atmosphere. Make sure to watch out for the resident dragon at Dragon Wood! Friendly dogs are welcome too.
The site is open for long weekends from 28th June and 5th July. From 19th July to 26th August, excluding some long weekends where the site is closed.

The Sunrise Cafe serves up tasty breakfast rolls and pastries along with fresh coffee. Live music is often available on sunny Saturdays as the sun sets in Dragon Woods. Solar lighting can also be found in the woods.
