campsite in Herts.

[bikehog164]

Hey guys,

I would like to find a camp site in Hertfordshire, that I can bike to and my friend wants to hike to it, but we want to be able to have out tents pitched and have a fire, I can't find anywhere, please help thanks.

Herts is hardly a tourist magnet? All the YHA have now gone from that part of the world? That must say some thing.

dont know about Herts but in nearby Bucks there is Jordans YHA that allow camping june to sept.

Welders Lane, Jordans, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 2SN

and seem to allow fires, as the pic shows one!


maybe google by town name with camping?


I think a problem will be the fire?

We recently stayed at Town Farm Camping near Ivinghoe. It's just off the Ridgeway Path and also only about a mile from the Chiltern Cycleway. I think it's in Herts but may be just over the border in Bucks or Beds.

It's about 10 miles west of Luton and not far from Whipsnade Zoo

+1 for ukcampsite.co.uk.

And Hertfordshire, though not a tourist magnet, has some attractive parts. Both in the west as mentioned above, and east of the A10.

Find a clearing sheltered or covered from the road or people , and camp there. Last time I came up the A10, and jumped into the field next to it, and slept like a log in my tent. Its much more fun and free, compared to a official signposted campsite.

When I said east of the A10, I meant further than a field next to it!

Thanks mercalia, but I don't see the photo with the fire in it. thanks everyone will start to look through the links and make a decision.

They allow fires at Town Farm Camping, though it is in Bucks, not Herts.

I didn't see this photo on the site, I may need my eyes tested. Thanks

camping at at YHA is approx half the overnight standard free. And if u are member can get a reduction.

[mercalia]

I might add I have never stayed there but I did pop in and have a look long time ago. The camping then if my memory correct not the best - no nice green field etc. But that was some years ago. WHo knows whats it like now. But it would be a great place to rearrange to meet people at, like most yha.

Ok thanks guys.
