πŸ’¬ Hosted By

This site is run by a local landowner who’s kindly opened their field to a small number of respectful campers. We’ll coordinate with them for bookings and share location details on confirmation.

This camping add-on is not included in your Fireside Meetups membership and must be paid separately, since it's a direct cost with the landowner.
