Camping at Glenny Wood
Glenny Wood is a great place to camp. Uniquely the site is split into 11 camping plateaus. The site lends itself well for all types of camping as the areas differ in size and are easy to access and use.
For those camping we have in the Campers shed a fridge and freezer available for use.
The camping plateaus at Glenny Wood are:-
Hawthorne Plateau
This is a small plateau is a small sloping plateau below the Activities area. It is approximately 18 meters long and 10 meters wide, variable. The plateau can accommodate 4 or 5, 2 person hike tents, pitched on the slope
Hawthorne is an ideal base for the evening visit to Glenny and central to the site
Stepped Plateaus - Oak
An ideal camping area, flat and 22 meters long and 4 meters wide increasing to 9 meters wide at the end “bubble”. This good size area, can accomodate 1 patrol tent and kitchen or 5 + 2 person hike tents. Being at the top of the plateaus this is a great site for seeing what’s happening below, ideal for Leaders perhaps!
Stepped Plateaus - Ash
Ash –our smallest plateau at the bottom of the plateau area. It is 15 meters long and 8.5 meters wide. The plateau has a small flat area which can accomodate one patrol tent and kitchen or 5 + 2 person hike tents.
When camping on the stepped plateaus please use ASH Plateau for your kitchen / communal tents as there is hard standing on this area, under the grass. This area, if wet, will not get so boggy.
And when your with us please follow our Glenny Wood Site Motto
"take nothing but photographs and memories, leave nothing but footprints"
