  • 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 tranquil farm campsite, loved for its welcoming owners and generous, clean pitches. Fire pits and direct walking access a bonus. Basic but great value for quick breaks. Showers may be coming!

Grass non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really nice space, a warm welcome and a pleasant toilet block. Very clearly marked and good facilities for water and rubbish. Nice walks all round and most of the way to the village and pub.

Disliked I wonder if some trees would provide shade and block some of the motorway noise
