OUR CAMPING PODS
Already set-up when you arrive. You bring everything else, just not the tent!
More privacy and security than a tent.
No wind whipping or flapping to keep you awake.
No putting up and taking down of wet tents.
An outside area for dining and chilling out.
A guaranteed dry place should the weather get a little damp.
There are 2 camping pods available, and they are an eco-friendly alternative to camping. They are also more secure than tents as they have lockable French windows which are double glazed to reduce condensation and provide sound insulation. There is a small, high-level window in the back wall this not only provides light but will help keep the living space well-ventilated and aid `through draft on hot summer days. Each Pod has lighting, heating, electric sockets and a carpeted floor.
The roof is designed to deal with a sudden down pour and the pod walls are insulated with sheep wool, while a special foil layer under the roof helps keep summer temperatures in check, making the camping pods practical whatever the weather!
The pods have plenty of head room and can accommodate 2 adults and 2 small children. You basically bring everything you need for a camping trip, minus the tent!
The Pods have a decking area and small porch, their own picnic table and fire basket.
Please note that dogs are not allowed inside the Camping Pods.
Nearby Attractions
Forestside is only a short drive from many interesting places and attractions, Lichfield, Uttoxeter Racecourse, the Peak District, Ashbourne and the former Royal Hunting forest of Cannock Chase, where one of Britain`s largest herd of Fallow Deer roams free.
Peak Wildlife Park is a little further away, but with an award-winning Zoo, it is well worth the visit. Trentham Gardens, Shugborough Hall, and the home of Wedgewood in the "Potteries" at Stoke on Trent make a great day out, as does Carsington Water in the Peak District.
There are many National Trust properties within easy reach, Sudbury Hall, Kedleston Hall, and Calke Abbey are all splendid places visit. The National Arboretum is also in easy reach, as is Tutbury Castle and the National Adventure Farm.
