Stay warm in our Forest of Dean Camping Pods this winter

Deep in the heart of the Forest of Dean sits a collection of our prized Camping Pods, perfect for colder weather; they allow you to settle down as soon as you arrive on site. Pull up with your sleeping bags at the ready and one of our on-site team will show you to your cosy pod, fully insulated and ready to keep you comfortable during your stay.

Whether it’s raining, snowing or the wind is blowing your pod will protect you against all of the elements. A wet day will be no problem, your shelter won’t feel likely to take off in a strong gale and you’ll be toasty while you sit with a cuppa watching the first snow fall of the season. 

Why camp in a Pod?

These sturdy structures have so many positives, we can’t possibly list them all but here’s a few we think make winter camping a little bit more luxurious.

• Backpackers and cyclists won’t need to carry extra warm kit so you can carry on traveling light
• Forget standing around in the cold, hammering tent pegs into the frozen ground
• You can settle straight into your cosy pod as soon as you arrive on site
• Each pod is fully insulated so they stay warm on the inside, even when the winter weather is at its coldest
• Noise in a pod is significantly reduced compared to all of the whispers you can hear in a tent
• You’ll be given a set of keys to lock up your pod when you’re away from the site to keep all of your valuables safe and sound
• You have an electric socket inside your tent so a cup of tea is just a minute away!

Camping Pod facilities

The fan heater ensures a comfortable stay and your insulated pod will keep the heat in nicely. You’ve also got a window on the back wall of your pod if it gets a little too warm during the nights.

You don’t need to take your indoor lighting with you; there is already a light installed in all of our pods. You may want to take a torch for late night toilet visits though! With an electric socket installed you can charge all of your electrical items indoors.

Your Camping Pod packing list:

You'll still need something to sleep on, whether that's roll mats or an air bed and all bedding. You'll also need cooking equipment and utensils. Remember to take plenty of warm clothing and layers and you'll be perfectly warm whilst enjoying the UK winter sights. 

Let’s keep our Pods environmentally friendly

It's our aim to keep the UK forests that house our Camping in The Forest offerings just as natural as when we arrived. Our pods help us to do just that, they blend in with our woodland setting seamlessly and are all double glazed and insulated to limit emissions. To help look after our forests we’ve put together 5 Top Tips for Environmentally Friendly Camping.
