Higher Moor offers traditional camping in a wonderful location. There are 22 pitches all of which are widely spaced with the majority around the perimeter of a 2 acre level field. This ensures there is never a feeling of overcrowding, and allows plenty of space for the children to let off steam. Each pitch has its own picnic table. There are two toilet blocks providing excellent facilities including a washing up area, freezer for freezer blocks, laundry room and disabled toilet and shower.
