The crunch of gravel underfoot and the warm glow of a Victorian townhouse window — this is guest house territory, not wild camping, tucked into the Hertfordshire market town of Hemel Hempstead.
Alexandra Guest House offers both traditional B&B rooms and camping pods for those after something a bit different, making it a flexible stop for couples touring the Chilterns or anyone needing a base between London and the Midlands. Dogs may be welcome — worth asking when you book — and it's the sort of spot that works for a quick overnight or a few nights exploring the canal towpaths and beechwoods that fringe the town.
You're firmly in residential suburbia here rather than open countryside, so expect comfort and convenience over campfire romance, though it's worth checking about fire policy when you arrive. Open all year, it's a practical choice when you want a roof or a pod rather than a tent peg and mud.
