Camping in Herefordshire

Herefordshire's mix of orchards, riverside meadows and hill country makes it a natural fit for campsites and glamping, and the spread of pitches reflects that variety. Around the Golden Valley and Abbey Dore, sites like Olchon Valley Campsite make the most of quiet, hilly ground close to the Black Mountains, while Whitney on Wye and Peterchurch offer similar access to the Wye valley without the crowds found further downstream.

Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury tend to suit those wanting a base within easy reach of market towns and the river itself, whereas Bromyard and Leominster lean towards smallholdings and rural retreats such as Primrose Smallholding and Camping or Mike's Meadow Glamping. For something more sheltered, cabins and pods at places like Cwtch Cabins and Camping or Broadmeadow Glamping give a warmer alternative to canvas.

With options ranging from simple grass pitches to fitted-out glamping at Hinton Land Glampsite or Pond and Beyond Glamping, it's worth deciding whether you want to be near a town or tucked into open countryside before choosing an area.
