Grass pitches

Set in 100 acres of landscaped parkland, the tourer and tent pitches at Box End Park campsite await sporty families for a few days of fun on two purpose-built water-sports lakes, filled with natural spring water. No worries though if you’d simply prefer to relax lakeside and enjoy the peaceful rural Bedfordshire setting. Activities to be booked separately and enjoyed on site include a giant floating aqua park, open-water swimming, paddleboarding, cable kneeboarding and cable wakeboarding. Out of the water, you can try frisbee and football golf, or the lakeside running-and-nature trail. All the pitches are on flat, well-drained grassland, and the site has its own dedicated toilet block with washing-up sinks. Free hot showers are located in the main clubhouse and are shared with the water-sports facilities. When you need to refuel, there’s a bar, restaurant and café offering a range of catering throughout the week (the café is closed in winter and the restaurant on Mondays). Barbecues are permitted off the ground at the pitches, but no campfires please. This is a quiet family site with a strict no-noise policy after 10.30pm, so perhaps it’s not the place for you if you’re after a wild nightlife – having said that, the historic market town of Bedford is only 15 minutes’ drive away, with its healthy helping of pubs and restaurants.

Van de manager: Hi there, Thank you so much for your lovely review and feedback. We're so happy to hear you loved your stay and enjoyed the open space, location and activities we have going on here at Box End Park! This year we have had a lot of beautiful birds including geese and swans enjoying living besides our naturally spring fed lakes and every year we can't wait to see them on site and the little baby goslings that pop up too. This year in particular we have had lots of geese joining us for the summer season and completely appreciate that they do leave behind some evidence they have been there. This is usually at its most visible during the high end of the summer months and this year the birds have started walking further over to our campsite due to some of our campers choosing to feed the birds from their pitches which will attract the geese and result in a higher amount of poo on the grass. We would kindly ask that all of our campers refrain from feeding the birds for this reason. With regards to activities for younger kids we have our Disc & Football Golf activity which is available for all years 4 and above - please feel free to ask our team about this on your next visit as we'd be happy to explain more about this awesome family friendly activity! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Many thanks, Box End Park

Ik was blij met: Everything! This is a great site with spacious, flat pitches and easy access to water, toilets and electric hook-up and other essentials (such as waste/toilet disposal, washing up facilities with hot water!) The 'campers only' toilets are in a Portakabin, but are clean and well serviced. The showers and more toilets are over in the main centre building. These were always clean, and the water for the shower was refreshingly hot! We used them before 9 a.m. and after 8 p.m. and they were always clean, easily accessible and quiet. (I can only assume that previous negative reviews have been when the water sports participants have been in) The site is next to a ski lake, and there is plenty to do for kids and adults alike. We did the disc/football golf and loved it, and then a lovely nature walk around the lake. We will use the aqua inflatables next time - they looked fun - knowing we can hire wetsuits is helpful too. The staff are all friendly and helpful - notably the Reception team. I'll not name names here, but will be writing to the centre to say what a pleasure it was to deal with them. It's a peaceful site, and is good for vans and tents alike. Traffic on a minor road is audible sometimes at night but isn't really an issue (the dawn chorus is louder), and you wouldn't hear it in a van. There's a Lidl nearby, a Sainsbury's about 5 mins away in Kempston, and a couple of chain restaurants down the road as alternatives to the onsite cafe/restaurant (we didn't use these, so can't comment). Perfect as a stopover if travelling North/South or East/West (and vice-versa) - and worth the 15 minute detour from the motorway.

Ik was blij met: Lakeside walk for dog walking.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Disappointed with cleanliness of bathrooms and site shower block is very outdated. Park and site did feel like it needed updating.

Ik was blij met: Large pitch. Nice and flat. Lovely staff- very friendly and helpful. We didn’t do any of the water sports but if that’s your thing it looked well- organised with an event on the Saturday and lots of families looking like they were having a great time.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Campsite toilet facilities are not nice. There is insufficient toilets for a busy weekend. Maybe not so bad when it’s less full. They weren’t cleaned for long periods and both evenings ran out of toilet paper, bins overflowing and remained that way until midday the next day. To be fair to staff when I reported it they dealt with it quickly. Only 1 private shower in the main building block. No showers in campsite block

Ik was blij met: First time camping and we struck gold with Box End. We’re hoping to go back in 2 weeks! Stunning location, the most friendly staff and such an array of activities to suit everyone. If you have teenagers in tow, who are reluctant to be seen dead with you, this is the place for you! We totally found our peace here, as a family.

Ik was niet zo blij met: Before coming here, I read a few neg reviews about the showers, and yes, they could be better (I believe they’re modernising soon) but honestly, everything else more than made up for it. The showers are hot, great power, clean. Personally, they were fine for us.
