There are a couple of private pitches tucked away by Crowden Brook which flows through the campsite. One is for a single tent for up to five people (maximum of four adults) (Crowden Brook small private pitch area), and the other for a group of up to three tents (up to 6m x 4m) for up to 18 campers (maximum of 12 adults) (Crowden Brook large private pitch area). Each of these two pitches is alone with some privacy away from other campers and surrounded by trees.

Most pitches are in one of two car-free fields, surrounded by trees and with informal scattered pitches - the upper field and lower field. They have a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere and feel spacious. Barbecues are only allowed in the upper field. The lower field has designated pitches but you can choose where to pitch in the upper field. Please pitch at least 6m away from other campers. The upper field is closest to the car park. The lower field is about 120m away from the car park.
