  • Simple pop-up site on a working farm 20 minutes’ drive from Bedford
  • Woburn Safari Park five minutes’ drive and Gulliver’s Land 15 minutes
  • Dog-friendly; access to the Greensand Ridge Walk; pub 10 minutes’ walk
If you’re up for a bit of back-to-basics camping and appreciate a good countryside view, Belvedere is 20 minutes’ drive from Bedford and comes up trumps on both counts. This pop-up site offers a neatly mown camping field with views over surrounding hills, forests and green fields. Facilities are minimal – a portable loo, waste point and fresh water tap – so you’ll have to be organised and bring in essentials like torches, batteries and barbecue kits. Once on site, however, you’ll soon be nicely relaxed. It’s based on a family-run equestrian farm, so you can watch the horses grazing happily in surrounding fields. The Greensand Ridge Walk goes right past the property (remember to pack your walking boots), meaning you can soon be out and about exploring the area. Belvedere is a dog-friendly site by the way, so any accompanying pooches can have a decent stretch of their paws too. By night, light a campfire, spark up the barbecue and watch the sunset. If you’d rather have someone else look after the cooking, there’s a thatched pub serving hearty food in Lidlington village (10 minutes’ walk), as well as a small store selling essentials if you’re running sort of anything.

Local attractions

Holidaying with your kids? They’ll be keen to get to Center Parcs Woburn Forest (five minutes’ drive), with its indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and sports complex. Gulliver’s Land Theme Park Resort (15 minutes) is another big pull in the area, with its rollercoasters for all levels of bravery and colourful daily shows. There are more family attractions in the shape of cheeky monkeys, giraffes and elephants in spacious enclosures at Woburn Safari Park (five minutes). Head for Woburn Abbey Deer Park to see the free-ranging herds of red and fallow deer on long walks through pastureland, or wear off any excess energy on the rope courses at Go Ape Woburn (both 10 minutes). On a cultural note, you can learn all about the heroic World War II codebreakers at Bletchley Park (25 minutes), or admire the sculpture gallery and manicured lakeside gardens at handsome 19th-century Wrest Park (15 minutes).
