For those not wanting to camp a number of different permanent levels of accommodation are available ranging from luxury cabins to camping pods and chalets.

General Information on Camps
The camp is essentially a social event with informal sessions, performances, dancing and other social gatherings. A large marquee is available and is used to accommodate workshops, concerts, ad-hoc sessions, dances and the like. It proves to be a really popular facility with campers and a useful addition in extreme weather.

Whenever practical, a campfire is lit every evening where musicians can gather and play together. Music generally has to stop at 11pm so campers and local residents can sleep. Watch the following video for a taste of Summer camp 2019.
Our current venue is Croft Farm Water Park near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, just off J9 of the M5 motorway. Tewkesbury is located in the scenic River Avon Valley where the Avon meets the Severn. The site is a caravan and camping park set around its own lake and offers a wide range of water sport activities and tuition for the more adventurous visitors.
We are usually allocated a separate camp area, subject to availability. The site is equipped with good showers, a toilet block, electric hook-ups and a campfire circle. The majority of the site is wheelchair friendly with ramped access to the Lakeside Cafe and Bar.
The camp area, of course, is on grass. A gym and sauna are available for the more athletic, and children are catered for with play areas and activities on the lake. Lodges or pods may be booked if you feel the need for more luxury.
