Our Camp in Chepstow
About the campsite
Aprils camp will be held at Beeches Farm Campite in Chepstow.
The campsite has stunning views across the Wye Valley into Wales and the sunsets are often spectacular. We will have direct access to Offa'sDyke, Devil’s Pulpit and the surrounding woodland down to Tintern Abbey.
We reviewed many campsites and carefully selected this one for its beautiful location and access to woodland walks. It is extremely dog friendly and adjacent to paths to walk dogs safely with lots of space. The facilities are excellent with toilet & shower block, a shared kitchen space that includes; a shared fridge, freezer, phone charging lockers, washing up stations, drinking water points and recycling facilities. They also permit raised fires and campfires to make the nights extra special.

Training will include structured workshops as well as relaxed settle sessions around the camp. Workshops will include
