  • 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.

This no-fuss campsite's beauty, space and thoughtful extras (clean loos, fire ash bins!) earn rave reviews. Friendly hosts, great walks, and a chill vibe make campers keen to return. Water tap issues sorted. Add showers, and it'd be perfect! Highly recommended for a budget-friendly escape.

Grass unpowered grass motorhome site

Liked Beautiful location, cheap. Plenty of space and has all the little things that make in convenient like clean toilets, fire ash bin, dog poop bags. We had to leave really early for an event and Lucinda was more than accommodating and really friendly and talkative. We will definitely use this place again when we come up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

I'm sorry to hear that your stay didn't quite meet your expectations, although I'm pleased you found our toilets clean and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, and found our staff friendly.

Regarding asking guests to message us when they return to the campsite, (if after 10pm) this is simply a safety measure. As a small, quiet campsite, knowing when guests have arrived back helps us ensure everyone is safe and on site if needed. We appreciate that it may not suit everyone, but the safety and security of our guests remains one of our top priorities.

Thank you again for your comments, and we wish you all the best with your future camping adventures.

A very peaceful site

Grass unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked A delightful back to basics campsite right on my doorstep. I will be back soon. The facilities were pristine and there were lots of thoughtful touches. Just loved the recycling setup as well. Very reasonably priced as well, especially for a solo traveller. Plus the firewood they sell was really the best I’ve used in a very long time. Quiet and pencil and the host went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable.

Liked I wanted a no-frills, quiet, peaceful getaway for one night and this campsite was exactly what I needed.
It's just two fields and a toilet block - which was spotless.
Lovely walk out the back of the site, which was a massive bonus, too.
The only sound was birdsong - pure bliss.

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.

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).
