    Tents-only, family-friendly camping in the Northamptonshire countryside with gorgeous rural walks.

    Scenic, spacious, and well-suited for families, Arthingworth Camping provides a pop-up campsite for tents and campervans, in glorious Northamptonshire countryside. Affordable and back-to-basics, this six-acre riverbank spot is a haven for adventurers—cycle along the Brampton Valley Way, explore the eerie Kelmarsh Tunnel, and conclude your day with a two-minute stroll to the local pub.

    The generous pitches ensure you and yours have enough room to relax and play games, and you can choose where to set up your tent—Sidom’s Ford River runs through the site, so you can pitch near its bank. Amenities are very basic—there's no hot water or showers—but you still have portaloos, a composting toilet block and even a lovely farm pantry providing locally sourced treats (pop in to pick up local honey, eggs, or firewood for your hireable firepit). 

    Remember to pack your walking boots to explore the various local routes; all handily signposted on a map provided by your Host, Eva. Arthingworth Camping is dog friendly, so it's a good place to wear out your four-legged friend too. Eva has set up a doggy station on camp to ensure your pooch is well-pampered with treats and a water bowl. 

    Further afield, drive out to the attractive nearby town of Market Harborough, voted one of the best places to live in the Midlands and a thriving hub of independent shops and handsome old buildings, or spend the day exploring Northampton.

    Eva’s campsite offers a scenic and peaceful experience with plenty of space between pitches, ensuring privacy and a relaxed atmosphere. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, the clever use of wheelbarrows to transport gear, and the thoughtful pantry stocked with local treats like honey and eggs. While most reviews highlight the idyllic setting and friendly host, some guests noted the inconvenience of not parking cars near tents and the occasional issue with toilet facilities. Overall, this campsite is praised for its tranquility, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings.

    Clean with beautiful views and a barrow to load your equipment up as stated. The pantry is a great touch as well as no cars on the grass.

    Eva's family & pooch friendly campsite is beautiful. We loved spending the weekend here and were very impressed with how the pitches were set up to have a nice amount of space between them. The toilet cabins are also a very nice touch 👌 We used this campsite as a half way point to meet family and would definitely meet them here again or just come for a solo trip!

    We really enjoyed camping on Eva’s land. It was such a lovely scenic location. We went for walks from the campsite and visited the local pub. The pantry was a nice touch and we bought some honey. Using one of the fire pits to light a fire and sit round it in the evening was good fun. The wheelbarrows to transport your kit from car to pitch was a great idea. Eva was friendly and helpful.
