Camp lightly

For a few weeks each summer, we open carefully managed areas of our wildlife-rich wetlands and meadows.

Pitches are generously spaced across the landscape, allowing families, couples and solo campers to enjoy the simple pleasures of campfire cooking, dark skies and waking to birdsong. With ancient woodland, winding streams and open meadows to explore, it's camping as it used to be—peaceful, unhurried and close to nature.

If you're looking for electric hook-ups and entertainment, we're probably not for you. But if you're seeking quiet, wildlife and a chance to unplug from everyday life, we'd love to welcome you.

Leave the notifications behind.

Here the soundtrack is birdsong, the crackle of campfires and the rustle of reeds in the breeze. Mobile reception exists if you need it, but many guests choose to switch off for a while and enjoy the simple rhythm of life outdoors.

Meet Matilda

Our beautiful vintage Cheltenham Sable has arrived at Glottenham for a little summer adventure.

Sleeping two, Matilda sits beneath a beautiful willow tree beside the stream, with her own shady spot in our small summer camping field. She’s cosy, characterful and just a little bit nostalgic — the perfect way to enjoy Glottenham without having to pitch a tent.

There’s a gas stove, vintage crockery, basic cooking equipment, seating beneath the awning and everything you need for a simple, slow few days in the countryside.

£75 per night for two people.

Matilda is here for three weeks only, so if you fancy a vintage summer escape, don’t leave it too long.

We’re just waiting for her Pitchup listing to go live, but if you’d like to get ahead of the queue, contact us directly to check availability and book.

Camping can be booked directly through our calendar at the bottom of the page.
