Swallow Barn Woodland Campsite

Swallow Barn Woodland Campsite sits in five acres of woods by the banks of the River Severn and on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Booking gets you exclusive use of the site, and surrounding woodland and field. You’ll be sharing with no one but the badgers and the barn owl.

This is off-grid, semi-wild camping. The site has can accommodate up to twenty people, either on tent pitches, or a camper van parking area. There is a covered camp kitchen, with running cold water and a large table and benches. Toilets are composting and there is a bucket shower. You are welcome to light a fire but you’ll have to collect your own firewood, but that’s the fun bit, right?  Check out the About page for more details on the site.

Swallow Barn is a smallholding that we farm according to organic and regenerative principles. We can supply seasonal vegetables from our garden and eggs from our flock of Cuckoo Marans hens.
