Embers Bentley was one of our original sites and it’s no surprise campers return year after year to experience its magic. It offers a stunning mix of inspiring outdoor activities onsite and nearby and the perfect venue to kick back and relax, all located in the 700 acre Bentley Estate.
The large campsite offers plenty of space for games such as volley ball, table tennis with tree top adventures a short walk away located on the same Estate.
New this season are table tennis tables and volley ball - great for keeping the kids occupied. The campsite itself is situated on a spacious field with plenty of room for a family kick about or even a game of rounders with your fellow campers!
We want you to enjoy your stay at Embers just as nature intended, but that doesn’t mean going without top rate facilities! Our oak-framed washrooms at our Embers Bentley site provide all the outdoor comforts you will need whilst camping. All of our bathrooms are clean and spacious for family showers, with underfloor heating offering a little comfort on those chilly days.
We also have The Embers Hub serving coffees, delicious hot food, all your snack & cold drinks and beer to enjoy under the cover of our large seating area under the stretch tent. Every pitch at Embers comes with its own fire basket for you to enjoy and can even be used to BBQ, with the addition of a tripod and grill.
As dusk draws in, the atmosphere at Embers is really quite special as everyone gets their campfires going, you'll understand why camping is made magical at Embers!
