Tips for Easter camping

  • Come prepared and pack for all weathers especially if Easter falls in late March. The days may be cool or there may be a Spring shower. If you don’t fancy bringing your tent our Hexi glamping pods or family bothies with WC are a great value for money alternative
  • Stay warm - our touring and tent pitches have electric so bring a heater if you have one. We offer fire pits for hire for the evenings. What can be better than reflecting on the day with some toasted marshmallows? Warm and waterproof clothes and a blanket are also recommended
