Info

Dads Cave Camping is a peaceful Family escape designed for those who love nature just as it is. With 13 spacious pitches, you’ll have plenty of room to unwind, listen to the wildlife , and enjoy the calm of the countryside.

We’re proud to follow a strict leave no trace policy, ensuring that every visitor helps protect the land for generations to come. At Dad’s Cave Camping, we ask guests to respect the environment by minimizing waste, sticking to designated paths, leaving natural features untouched, and keeping noise levels low. When you leave, your pitch should look exactly as it did when you arrived: clean, natural, and untouched.

Surrounded by beautiful scenery and plenty of local walking routes, the campsite is perfect for those who want to explore, relax, and reconnect with the outdoors—while helping preserve it.

Come stay, switch off, and enjoy nature the way it should be: cared for, respected, and truly wild.
