  • 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.

What customers say

A peaceful, back-to-basics farm campsite, loved for its quiet, "wild and free" vibe. Guests enjoyed clean washrooms, helpful hosts, and great value. Perfect for walks and kid-friendly space. Some minor tap issues were quickly fixed. Recommended for a relaxed, no-frills escape.

Grass primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

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.

Grass primitive grass RV campsite

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.

Grass primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked A very chilled and relaxed camp site for short stays; the availabilty of firepits and logs was a nice touch. The nearby village with pub and shop was handy, although the steep climb along the road to the lane back to the camp site is not for faint hearted!
Portable toilet block was keep clean.

Disliked Water point could have used clear signage.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments, I will add a clearer sign for the water point.
Look forward to welcoming you again 😀

Grass primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Perfect..great clean toilets...a water tap
Away but close enough to get additional provisions
Lucinder was very friendly and relaxed..
Overall a great experience ....will definately return

Disliked Not a dislike...shower block would be great especially in the hot hot weather we experienced.....but not essential.

But it will not stop us coming back....

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).
