Big Meadow Camping

With birdsong as the theme tune, set up your tent in a private pitch, surrounded by long grass and newly planted trees in our vehicle-free meadow.

Our Big Meadow was made for a simple camping experience and is surrounded by a protective hug of trees. We're pretty sure you'll love the tranquility, with long grass all around making the pitches almost feel like your very own room.

Most pitches in the meadow are a handsome distance from each other to ensure your peace and quiet. There are a small handful of pitches in proximity to others, for campers who would like to be close to friends and family. If you'd like a particular pitch (close to toilets or far from everyone or likely to have more shade etc) just let us know when you book and we'll be sure to save you the best spot we have.

The camping meadow is vehicle free so you don’t have to worry about noise and safety, but don't worry, the car park is no more than 100 metres away and we supply (really) big wheelbarrows so you can get your gear between car and camp.

If you'd like a campfire we can bring over a firepit and we sell seasoned wood and kindling on site, meaning you’ll have a roaring, long-lasting fire in no time.

Each pitch is plenty big enough for two small-small/medium tents but if you have a big tent you're probably looking at one tent per pitch.

​We also have a larger mown area for small groups or families who have multiple (or really big) tents! If this sounds right for you just get in touch and we'll reserve the big pitch for you! Please note that we'd appreciate contact before booking if you're planning to camp with a large group of adults (more than 6) as we like to ensure that Big Sky is a peaceful and family-friendly campsite and larger groups of adults can be intimidating, which isn't our style. Thanks for understanding and please drop us a line if you think this applies to you.

If you like the idea of escaping to nature and getting away from it all without needing a whole lotta luxury, this is your place. All of our camping pitches are electricity free but we open up our communal barn in the evenings and you’re welcome to charge your phones in there.

We'll do everything we can to make your stay at Big Sky as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We love surprising our guests and making your stay unique so if you have any ideas we might be able to help with don't hesitate to ask :)

Note: Sometimes our booking engine doesn’t allow single night stays but on most occasions we’re always happy to accept one night bookings for campers. If you can’t find a way to book a one-nighter please do drop us an email. so flexible on dates if you're cycle touring, we know it doesn't always go to plan!
