This is not a conventional campsite; it is a simple, private sanctuary that is generally only rented to one party at a time. Tucked away in a beautifully rustic setting, this is your chance to claim a piece of the countryside as your own for a few precious days. The experience is intentionally rugged and unpretentious, designed for visitors who find luxury in solitude, authenticity, and a deep connection to the natural world. The heart of the campsite is a magnificent, enormous oak tree, which provides a generous canopy of shade and a profound sense of permanence. Under its sprawling branches, you’ll find all the essential basics for a comfortable stay, including a convenient electrical point and a small fridge. A dedicated ablution provides the simple but welcome comforts of a flush toilet and a hot shower.

Getting to this secluded haven is part of the adventure.
