Become one with your surroundings

Rue du Chateau is off the beaten track, with only very minor roads nearby.
​
With our pitches by the river, choose a perfect spot to sit by the edge of the water, among the wild primroses, where there is a peace and tranquillity captured by listening to the river song. 

Or why not try some wild swimming, though we're not responsible for the temperature! (or for any injuries related to this sport!).  Hot water bottles and towels to warm back up are available on request.

​Learn more about the campsite here.
There are also exclusive secluded pitches near a pond, set in young woodland, offering complete peace and seclusion with no buildings in view.

All pitches are a short walk away from the main farm, and those dark night skies and sparkling stars are truly awe inspiring to see.

The site offers basic facilities, including limited or no mobile phone reception depending on your network, for a real outdoors escapism experience.

Rue Du Chateau Camping is now closed for 2019. We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who camped with us, and made some fantastic memories this year. It was a brilliant summer, and hopefully we can look forward to more great fun in 2020.

Make friends with the locals

Our small farm is home to sheep, two dogs, chickens, ducks and two ponies. The ponies are a Gypsy Cob called Murphy and a Miniature Shetland called Teesh, they are very inquisitive, love attention and trying to help, though please don't feed them no matter how much they ask!
​
The wild ducks have had successful hatches for a few years now and it is wonderful to watch them waddling from the pond to the river and swimming about early in the year.

The area is home to red squirrel, deer, birds of prey, hare, badger, fox. frogs, newt and more. With patience, quietness and a bit of luck, the landscape will begin to reveal its hidden secrets.
Fees
We offer a flat rate for our Tent Pitches and Campervans of £10.00 per adult £5 per child per night.
