A family-run back-to-basics, campfire-friendly camping & glamping site with plenty of space for each pitch and a laid back family ethos.

“No clubhouse, no caravans, no electric hook-up, no close neighbours”, it reads in bold on the Hidden Valley Campsite website. It’s the truth, too. Set in a sloping field in Worcestershire’s Teme Valley, this is not only an off-grid campsite where traditional tenting is order of the day, but it’s also the sort of landscape where caravans and electricity simply wouldn’t work. From the initial meadow beside the lane, where there’s room for a handful of tents, the land falls suddenly away, sloping down toward aptly named Stony Brook. Natural terraces provide aprons of grassy space, perfect for pitching the tent and having your own personal area, while a trio of pre-pitched bell tents bag some of the best spots above the stream. Caravans wouldn’t stand a chance but old school campers are in heaven.

“We are keen campers ourselves”, manager Simon explains. “There's nothing worse than site owners cramming as many tents into their fields as they can.” It’s certainly shaped the Hidden Valley ethos. There are rarely more than around 25 people on the campsite at any one time and facilities are typically low key and close to nature. Gas-powered showers, composting toilets, a covered washing-up area and a small honest shop is about the grand sum of the facilities, though if you arrive at the right time, you might also benefit from the luxury of a quad-bike ride to your pitch instead of the customary wheelbarrow walk. It’s all part of the laid back vibe here, where campfires are encouraged (raised off the ground) and they won’t charge you through the nose for a fire-pit (you can even bring your own if you like).

In the morning, there’s a dawn chorus that weary urbanites could only dream of and in the evenings you can look out for muntjac deer and foxes slinking away beyond the hedgerows. As for the daytime? Fill it with trips to local attractions like English Heritage-owned Witely Court or the family friendly zip lining at Go Ape! or indulge in the real local highlight… the food. Nearby Ludlow and Leominister are well known for their annual food festivals, while the nearest pub to the campsite is a scenic one-mile walk away. And, since the wildflower-dotted campsite is actually set in what was once an orchard, it would be rude not to try a local cider while you’re there!

3 - Grass Pitch
Loved it
The site is lovely and peaceful, not only that but clean!! We saw the lovely site owners around multiple times during our visit, making sure the facilities were tidy. The honesty shop, views, wildlife, and relaxed atmosphere made it all so serene and lovely. We felt free to do as we pleased but also safe and knew we could find someone if we had any problems. We'll be back for sure!!

The Wild Side - Grass Pitch
A lovely secluded camping spot. There’s quite a large hill to carry everything down and up (wheelbarrows are supplied) so be prepared!

Perfect Quiet Site
Perfect campsite for those who like their camping quiet and basic. It’s a beautiful site and very nicely kept, toilets and showers are simple, but kept spotless the whole time. Staff around site are very helpful and friendly, and there’s evena small honesty shop on site that sells emergency type food and firewood and a few treats., all priced at the same as local shops which is amazing these days.Free freezer for cold blocks too. The site itself is the star though, down in the valley is just lovely, sitting out of an evening with a fire blazing is just Perfect.

From the host
Off the beaten track, and tucked away in a rural corner of the beautiful Worcestershire countryside, we welcome you to Hidden Valley Camping. Set in an ancient orchard on our small working farm, we offer wild-ish camping and glamping, with unrivalled views, huge dark skies, and an abundance of wildlife. With just 2 bell tents and a handful of camping pitches, you are guaranteed your privacy and plenty of space to sit, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Nearby attractions
It's 4 miles to the quaint market town of Tenbury Wells, while well know foodie spots like Bromyard, Leominster and Ludlow are nearby too. There are plenty of National Trust and English Heritage-owned properties in the vicinity. It's 9 miles to Witley Court – a ruined, 17th century, Italianate mansion with extensive grounds to explore – and 12 miles to neo-classical Berrington Hall (01568 615721). In Herefordshire, the beautiful farmed estate of Brockhampton (01885 482077) is also 10 miles away. For a good walk, it takes around 20 minutes to drive to the Wyre Forest, where you can really wear out the kids at a Go Ape (0845 094 9793) if you need to. The West Midlands Safari Park (01299 402114) is another great option for families (20 minutes by car).
Food and drink
The nearest pub (a 1-mile walk) is The Tally Ho (01886 853241), where portions are generous and well priced (especially the Sunday carvery), though, for some more serious fine dining, The Baiting House (01886 853201) does Michelin style food and serve great local ales and ciders to wash it all down with. The Bait has a wood fired pizza oven and an excellent beer patio, which is usually available when the sun is shining. The foodie town of Ludlow is a 15 minute drive away – there are regular farmers markets – and award winning local meats are available just down the road in Tenbury Wells from award-winning Butchers and Pie Makers, Wyre Pies.
