Fell Foot Wood

As a naturally occurring wood, all of the facilities offered at Fell Foot Wood are in tune with and respect the local environment.

We provide for quiet "back-to-nature" camping and your own created imaginative entertainment.

We are not a campsite/holiday complex with associated facilities.

Please see the bottom of this page to find a copy of our camping prices, conditions and registration form which should be completed on arrival

It does not operate as a conventional campsite and there are no showers.

There are separate ladies and gents toilets with water at an adjoining sink.

Please keep out of the woodyard and shop area outside of opening hours to avoid security issues/potential embarrassment.
