  • Well-kept, off-grid CAMC-members only site at Colmworth, Bedfordshire
  • Southlake Waterpark 15 minutes’ drive and Buckden Towers 20 minutes
  • Dog-friendly pitches; direct access to walks; pub five minutes’ drive
Open only to members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club, adults-only North Barn Campsite is a back-to-basics sort of a spot set on the outskirts of sleepy Colmworth – one of the most remote villages in Bedfordshire. Its list of amenities may be short, but you’re compensated by far-reaching views over fields, colourful sunsets on clear evenings and wildlife aplenty to spot if you go about your business quietly. So… those amenities. They include water taps on the level grass camping field, an outdoor washing-up sink and separate male and female toilets with hand basins. Please just note that there are no electric hooks-ups or showers. However, the site is dog-friendly, and there are lots of walks around the site for the exercising of both canines and humans. Barbecues are allowed on the camping meadow in a firepit; you can pick up supplies from supermarkets in St Neots (15 minutes’ drive) and there’s also a quality pub five minutes away by car.
