    🏕️ Escape to Queen Charlotte’s Wood

    Looking for a quiet, peaceful place to camp and reconnect with the outdoors?

    Nestled between the quiet country lanes of Frodsham and Alvanley, and just a short distance from the stunning Sandstone Trail, Queen Charlotte’s Wood is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

    With 11 distinct and beautiful camping pitches to choose from, there’s a spot to suit every type of adventure. From secluded woodland corners to larger pitches perfect for group activities, you can find your own little piece of the Wood to call home for your stay.

    We can accommodate around 180 campers at any one time, carefully balancing capacity with the need to preserve the unique atmosphere, character and ‘magic’ of Queen Charlotte’s Wood.

    Whether you’re planning a weekend adventure, a group camp, a section sleepover or simply a chance to get outdoors, pitch your tent, light the campfire and make yourself at home. 🌲🔥

    With 11 pitches, beautiful woodland surroundings and plenty of space to explore, Queen Charlotte’s Wood is more than just somewhere to pitch a tent — it’s a place to make memories.

    🔥 Try Something a Little Different – The Lavvu

    Fancy swapping your tent for something a little more adventurous? Why not spend the night in our Finnish-style Lavvu?

    A Lavvu is a traditional shelter used by the Sámi people of northern Scandinavia, designed to provide a simple and practical place to stay while exploring the outdoors.

    Our Lavvu offers a unique camping experience and can comfortably accommodate up to 5–6 Scouts. Best of all, there’s no need to pack the tent!

    All you need to bring is your sleeping bag, an insulating mat and a pan, and you’re ready for a night under canvas in a very different way.

    Constructed in June 2019, the Lavvu was created in recognition of the dedicated service of former campsite manager Ian Nicholas.

    Leave the tent at home, embrace the adventure and experience camping the Lavvu way! 🏕️🔥
