About the site


Tucked in Dobbs Weir in Hertfordshire, the site is perfect for your next short break with large grounds and the opportunity to explore a superb country park. Pitch up with your tents, caravans or motorhomes, all touring pitches are ready with electric and some tent pitches offer electric too. They're all located in green open spaces with brilliant views. The site's glamping options mean you don't have to worry about the hassle of pitching your tent as it's all done for you. Instead you'll sleep in the comfort of cosy wigwam pods sleeping either two or four, a modern shepherd's hut for four or safari tents sleeping up to five people. There are a selection of Wigwam pods on offer, the 'Wee Brave' Wigwams sleep two and the 'Big Chief' Wigwams sleep up to four.

Outside there are picnic tables and space for a campfire. There are shared facilities nearby. Guests also have the option of pet-free, pet-friendly or accessible options for each Wigwam unit. For something a bit cosier, there is a shepherd's hut onsite complete with a queen-sized bed and two singles. The kitchen is equipped with a two ring cooker, a fridge and utensils, there is also a TV, sofa and full ensuite too. Outside is a decking area with outdoor seating. If you want to go all out, the safari tents are equipped with all your cooking necessities plus a settee and dining area, for a real home-away-from-home. Safari tents also include electric, small table and chairs and a little fridge for food. Please bring your own bedding. Dogs are welcome in the camping area and also in the Wigwams (but not in other glamping accommodation). So just turn up, unpack and get your holiday underway!

The site is open all year round except for February.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Was a nice place to stay but was a little noisy. Other guests made our stay a little uncomfortable. Had to remind some men that it was not okay to go into the ladies' bathrooms.

Not bad

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2025

Not bad place to stay but a somewhat small campground and too many "extra costs" that aren't good value, like small bags of firewood and no fires on the ground. Had equipment failure with my camping stove and the compulsory "fire pit" was not up to much but we had a good time and the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Nice camp
