The crackle of your own fire after dark, sparks spiralling up into a proper country sky — that's the draw here, though you'll need to check what's allowed when you arrive.
Embers welcomes both tent campers and those travelling by campervan, and it's worth asking ahead if you're bringing your dog along. The site details are light on specifics, so this is very much a place to enquire directly about what's provided and what you'll need to bring — think carefully about your off-grid essentials if facilities are minimal. It suits campers who prefer a simpler setup and don't mind a bit of self-sufficiency.
Expect a low-key, no-frills pitch where the focus is on being outdoors rather than ticking boxes on an amenities list. The campfire allowance (confirmed on arrival) suggests a relaxed, back-to-basics atmosphere — ideal if you're after quiet evenings under canvas without too much fuss. Pack accordingly, ask the right questions before you go, and you'll know exactly what sort of trip you're in for.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.
