Camping at The Fold: View of the site (photo added by manager on 24/08/2023)

General

  • Peaceful site on an organic farm a 15-minute drive from Worcester
  • Malvern Hills 15 minutes’ drive; Witley Court and Gardens 25 minutes
  • On-site café; veg boxes and eggs for sale; classes and workshops

Surrounded by spectacular countryside, Camping at The Fold is a peaceful site between Worcester and the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which embraces a philosophy of sustainability and creativity. Guests can take their fresh pick of the flat, grassy pitches, where the pitch sizes are not restricted (within reason).

The pitches are part of a farm which grows organic vegetables and keeps free-range hens. You can buy these happy chooks’ freshly laid eggs for your breakfast, as well as seasonal veg boxes, or sample them in assorted dishes (and cakes) at the café. The site’s eco credentials continue with multiple composting toilets, a hot shower, renewable energy, charging facilities for electric vehicles and plenty of recycling stations.

There are plenty of nature trails and a lake trail on site, along with public access to the river Teme. Well-behaved canines are welcome as long as they are kept on a lead while on the grounds; the aforementioned trails are also sure to get tails wagging. And who knows? Your wanderings might lead you to a local pub (there are a couple within a 10-minute walk) for a restorative brew.

The Fold is also home to a natural therapy centre where guests can book a relaxing Indian head massage or a reflexology session. And if you don’t want to skip your regular sun salutations, there are yoga classes (from vinyasa flows to seated sessions), plus all-level Pilates and sound baths. (Please note: all must be booked in advance. The varied calendar of activities also includes activities like sewing workshops, bushcraft experiences or foraging picnics.

Please note

    Excellent location for what we were looking for - a wild camping style location to step away from the world.

    BBQ's allowed, dogs allowed, a campfire area and local amenities near by should you need.

    Composting toilet and a hot shower with biodegradable products supplied that are kind to the wildlife - what else do you need :)

    The nature walks nearby are great for kids and adults. The kids loved playing along the river bed which is not too far away and swimming among the fishes. We'll definitely be back

Peaceful ‘back to nature’ site for a Malverns break22/08/2023

    Very quiet and peaceful with plenty of space. The friendly site manager was nearby if we needed anything. The basics were provided: nice warm shower and phone charging etc. Lovely to have the lake and river trails just the other side of the hedge for a walk/run, and a great vegetarian cafe too. We chose the location because it was handy for the Malvern hills (15-20 minutes’ drive).

    Disliked: 

    The compost toilets took a bit of getting used to but actually they weren’t too bad!

Great stopover campsite or tester campsite with clean facilities!18/08/2023

  • Liked: 

    The facilities, although a compost toilet it was well maintained, spacious and easy to use with the instructions.

    The shower was clean and warm, we loved the fact the site is eco friendly and supplies the products in order to ensure it remains an eco friendly environment.

    We were welcomed by friendly staff and given an information sheet on arrival and felt nothing would have been too much trouble if any queries arose.

    We liked the forest, nature trails and local river. We didn’t get the opportunity to utilise the cafe but if we stay again we certainly will make an effort to visit!

    We loved the fact that we were able to choose where to pitch up, the grass had been cut and that cars were encouraged not to be parked next to tent. Being allowed to have it there for ease of set up and decamp was helpful.

    Disliked: 

    These are minor issues and not “Dislikes” as such.

    Very enclosed by trees with no views of the local countryside. Although it did mean kids were able to roam freely in a safe environment.

    Although it’s an eco friendly campsite, so overgrowth of grass areas will encourage wildlife, it would have been great to have a cut grass area for the kids to play with a frisby/ball.

    In the mornings it was obvious how close to the A road we were, however I still slept well!

Witley Court and Gardens (25 minutes’ drive) was destroyed by fire in 1937, but even in its ruinous state, this 17th-century country mansion looks remarkably elegant. The landscaped grounds feature topiary, terraces and a dramatic fountain, plus a children’s playground.
