Rhydd Covert Scout Camp

The rustle of canvas in ancient woodland, shafts of morning light filtering through oak and ash—Rhydd Covert offers that back-to-basics camping experience where the soundtrack is birdsong rather than traffic. This scout camp in rural Worcestershire welcomes tents, campervans and caravans into a setting that feels genuinely removed from the everyday, despite the county's accessibility between the Malvern Hills and the Severn Vale.

Perfect for families seeking proper outdoor adventure and groups wanting space to roam, this is camping as it used to be: simpler, quieter, and closer to nature. The scout camp heritage means an emphasis on traditional outdoor skills and self-sufficiency rather than glamping luxuries. Check about campfire policies when you arrive—there's potential for evening gatherings under the stars.

With facilities kept deliberately low-key, you'll need to come prepared for a more self-contained stay. The reward is genuine seclusion among Worcestershire's gentle countryside, where the pace slows and the focus shifts to what's around you. Authentic, unpretentious, and refreshingly uncommercial.
