The car-free setting and plenty of space makes it easy for families, friends and groups to relax and enjoy time outdoors. Campervans and live-in vehicles are welcome in our dedicated area, set in the main field just a short walk from all facilities.
Glamping
Nova Air Domes & Bell Tents
Try one of our cosy 5m tents, choose between the new Nova Air Domes by Boutique Camping or classic Bell Tents. Both come fully set up with a double bed, two singles, bedding, soft lighting, outdoor seating and a fire pit. The Nova Domes have an open, pole-free design with extra space inside, while the Bell Tents offer that classic camping feel with all the comforts. Just turn up, settle in and enjoy your stay.
Day Tickets
Camping is the best way to enjoy the full Wild Canvas experience, but if you’re just visiting for the day, we have limited number of day tickets available, giving you access to the site, activities, music, food and the river. It’s a great way to spend time with friends and family, explore what’s on offer and soak up the atmosphere in a relaxed, welcoming space.
