Family Camping 

 

Until recently camping at Thornbridge Outdoors has only been available for large groups booking together.

New facilities and a new approach for 2025 means that we are looking forward to our first ‘Family Camping’ weekends where families, couples and individuals can book a camping pitch.

If you are looking to camp in a tent in a beautiful area, enjoy the peace and quiet (no music and a site quiet time from 11pm – 7am) and make the most of the Peak District countryside then please read on. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate campervans, motorhomes and caravans.

Facilities

  • Toilets
  • Showers
  • Pot washing sink
  • Recycling and waste bins
  • Parking (please note that this may not be adjacent to where you are camping and available locations depend on the weather)
  • Shared use of a games field

Bell Tents

Some families may opt to bring their own tent whereas others may choose to book one of our ready pitched 5m bell tents which accommodates up to 6 people.

The bell tents have a groundsheet and use of a picnic bench but campers still need to bring:

  • camping mats
  • sleeping bags
  • cookers & cooking equipment

Access to and use of the Base Camp kitchen and dining room, other centre facilities and activity equipment is not included.  If you are looking to use other facilities at the centre please contact us prior to booking to discuss.

Please note that no cooking is permitted in the bell tents.
