The campsite is surrounded by woodland and fields and lined with veteran oak trees, and a 30minute walk from the iconic summit of May Hill, which can be seen from all over Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, and as far away as Wales.

It is used by several other youth and community organisations throughout the year, and as of April 2020, it will be available for events, private camping and venue hire.
