The scent of pine needles underfoot and the chatter of jays in the canopy — Bailwood Scouting Campsite sits tucked beneath woodland, the kind of place where canvas and guy ropes feel perfectly at home.
This is a scouting site open to families, small groups, and campers happy with a back-to-basics pitch. Tents and campervans are both welcome, though you'll want to check what's available when you book. Dogs are sometimes allowed — best to ask ahead. The site's rooted in the scouting tradition, so expect a straightforward, community-minded atmosphere rather than polished glamping.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth getting in touch before you arrive to confirm what's onsite. Campfires may be possible depending on conditions — always check on arrival. It's a place for people who value simplicity, a bit of woodland quiet, and the satisfaction of a well-pitched tent under the trees.
