Campwell Farm
Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, England
Campwell Farm is a luxury, off-grid and eco-friendly campsite providing you the space to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature, in a beautiful and tranquil West Country setting. Just 5 miles away from the beautiful city of Bath and with a superb farm shop, lovely cafe and a village pub just a short walk away, the campsite feels secluded, yet within easy reach of civilisation. Here you can enjoy the simple life, spend time with friends and family, adventure through the woods or just sit back and relax around the campfire. With Farm Camp’s beautiful woodland setting and endless things to do in the local area, you are guaranteed a true experience to remember. The accommodation is in pretty bell tents, each sleeping up to 4 people, with comfy beds, fresh linen, blankets and a wood burning stove to keep you all warm on chilly evenings. The facilities are excellent here: there is a well-equipped camp kitchen, a large sheltered dining area (the ‘Flock and Feed’) which can accommodate up to 20 people, hot showers (towels are provided), private composting loos and an area called ‘The Gather Round’ where people can congregate and meet up with other guests. A digital detox is available to those who want to take the plunge of completely unplugging and switching off. The campsite provides lockers to hide away all tech distractions if you crave some genuine digital peace - it is a brave but excellent move, and with all the things going on here, chances are you won’t even miss it. Instead, you will be inspired to engage with the natural world around you. There are adventures to be had for those who want them. The setting of Farm Camp is glorious, and on the surrounding farmland you can tackle the ancient art of sheep herding, get arty with a number of creative woodland experiences or get hands on in a bushcraft session. There are a whole host of activities to try out; have a go at archery, yoga or (for the brave few) an outdoor bootcamp. If you prefer a more leisurely experience, the lovely people here will also book tours of the local organic vineyard, where you can sample some homegrown wine. The Farm Camp is open from late March until late October and they welcome groups of family, friends or colleagues looking to enjoy a rustic, back to nature experience. For very large groups, you can book the whole camp out exclusively, a real treat for birthdays or family get-togethers. This authentic and utterly lovely campsite retreat was created to inspire people to live healthier, more balanced and simpler lives, and the joyous testimonies of those who have stayed here, show that this place really does work its magic.
