12 tent pitches

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.

First wild camp

This was my boys first ever camping experience and they loved it. A true wild camping experience and I can not be more complimentary of Eva the host as well, she came round and checked on all pitches and kept a clean site. 100% recommend

Arthingworth Camping

the campsite was a lovely field with plenty of spaces between pitches. The site was clean - the toilets were portaloos. The owner was fairly strict about the 10pm quiet time rule, so something to be aware of if you want to stay up later talking.

Arthingworth Camping

A lovely destination, with pretty views. The pantry was cute and I like how it sells local honey and eggs. Eva came over and introduced herself she was really friendly and welcoming. It’s a shame you can’t park your car next to the pitch but it wasn’t the end of the world. The loos were unusable though, but that’s not down to eva I think that’s more whoever was using the toilets and couldn’t be bothered to flush so they got blocked and we were unable to use them in the morning. And with 4 little ones it was a bit of a nightmare! I think it was abit pricey for the facilities given but we did enjoy how the pitches were spread out so no bother from neighbouring tents.

Almost wild camping

The site was amazing, it was peaceful and beautiful, its basic but that's what we prefer. Eva was extremely helpful and friendly. Lots of awesome walks straight off the pitch and the local pub The Bulls Head was inviting and friendly only 5 mins away.
