Bush Camps
Welcome to our Bush Camps, where you are welcome to spend quiet time around a campfire. We have several sites near Hay on Wye on the Welsh Borders, and you will receive details upon booking and payment.
You could also visit our course kitlist if that helps you to remember stuff
Please bear in mind the terms and conditions, and the fact that rowdy campfire gatherings are not what we are about. You must adhere to 'quiet policy' below
Once you have made your payment, a full package showing you where we are, a risk assessment, rules and regulations will be made available to you.
A bit about the bush camps- in a nutshell
Courses run all year, whilst the Bush Camps are only open upon certain days . We are open mainly weekends in Summer 09, with other days possibly available upon request. Please let us have your queries on the booking form.
At the moment, you can just come and camp with tarp/hammock/tent and a fire for £5.00 each 24 hrs plus an extra charge for firewood (we provide this so that deadwood remains for wildlife) It's £3.00 for kids.
We do not allow dogs.
There are basic 'bush' camping facilities, for example, compost toilets, and watering can showers.
Mains water is available on site
We would prefer you to bring smaller tents and form a grouping around a campfire, rather than have a huge family dome tent that involves locking you away from your surroundings, plus it may be difficult to enough flat space to pitch these. There are some trees to hang tarps from but each site is different and you will have to work out an arrangement to suit you. If you require some wooden poles for your tarp, please ask.
Tipis are available for hire, as are canoes and bikes from associate companies.
11 to 7 am 'quiet time' to keep the site peaceful, and no loud music/radios at any time.
Even what you think may be quiet talking or chopping of wood after this time may annoy others, so please start your campfires early...
The sites are ideal for bushcraft camping, and secure with no public access. All our sites are near Hay-on-Wye, and we can pick up from several railway stations and the river with your canoe! Please consider leaving your car at home or lift sharing...
We ask that you bring your own projects to work on so that we can maintain the biodiversity and nature of the woodlands.
There are walks to nature reserves and the River Wye, and the hills of Wales are close by.
Bookings are essential. Turning up without a booking will mean that you are turned away.
See you soon!
