Staying in our TentBoxes
Our TentBox Cargo 2.0 units bring a whole new level of fun to camping! Originally designed to sit on top of cars, we’ve installed them on site to give solo walkers and lightweight adventurers an easy, no-fuss way to stay — without carrying a tent or sleeping kit.

Inside you’ll find loads of clever features:
– A super comfy mattress
– A skylight for stargazing
– An integrated LED light
– A removable porch
– A handy boot bag for muddy shoes
– A fresh towel and full bedding included in the price
Showers and toilets are just a short walk away in our communal shower block, complete with ladies’ and gents’ facilities, plus hand soap, shower gel and shampoo. You’ll also have access to our large drying rooms with heaters and commercial dehumidifiers — ideal for drying wet gear overnight.
