Our camping field is open to youth expedition groups from March to October each year.
Prices per head per night for 2026 are:
We normally only provide unsupported camping facilities (i.e. no staff on site) for young people on expedition working towards their Gold, and Silver awards. We will take up to 25 young people from multiple groups, or slightly more if from one panel, school or organisation. Please contact us by email if you would like to discuss accommodation for a larger group. We are sometimes able to host Bronze groups and visiting leaders or assessor’s vehicles by prior arrangement.
The camping field is attached to Lockerbrook Residential Education Centre which is booked separately by other groups. The facilities in the Centre are for the sole use of the group hiring the Centre and not available for DofE groups. DofE groups should not take shortcuts through the courtyard of the Centre when going to the toilet or camper sink.
The car park adjacent to the Centre is for the sole use of any group hiring the centre. However, there is limited parking before Lockerbrook just before the Locker Brook goes under the track. Please use this lay by for parking. If you need to drop anything off at the field then do drive up to it, but please move the vehicle back to the lay-by when you have off loaded.
Leaders with vehicles must contact us in advance to be sure that we can arrange parking for you.

Groups using the expedition camping area have use of a covered dishwashing area, and a dedicated toilet (seperate from facilities available to our bunkhouse guests). Due to the sensitive nature of our local environment, fires are not permitted in the camping field.
