Youlbury
Want to head into the woods?
Set in 42 acres of beautiful woodland, Youlbury in rural Oxfordshire offers both high adventure activities and traditional outdoor skills.
With both indoor accommodation and camping, our instructors can deliver an experience built around you.
FACILITIES AND ACCOMMODATION
You’re spoilt for choice. We have a wide range of modern accommodation lodges, campsites and tented villages, giving you great flexibility.
On-site camping
Many camping areas offer the feeling that you are the only ones on site, as they are surrounded by picturesque woodland; all 42 acres of it. If you prefer a more sociable location, then the main field is the place to be. With excellent facilities on site you’ll always be close to toilets and fresh running water on-site.
Indoor Accommodation
We have two accommodation lodges, and the Lawn Hut for day hire.
Tented villages
Why worry about having to bring lots of bulky equipment with you? Our tented village takes care of all the hard work for you (well, most of it anyway!). Our tented village is a horseshoe of tents already pitched for you, complete with comfy mattress pads. There’s also a group tent with tables, benches, lighting and a basic camp kitchen. It’s a great alternative to the standard camping experience or even staying in a lodge. Mix it up a bit and book a different option each time you visit. Available to book from May to October.
Equipment hire
Whether you’re completely new to camping, or just need a couple of extra bits and pieces for your group, we can help you with our equipment hire. We have tents, marquees, tables and benches available.
Available badge programmes
