Story

The Biblins Campsite, managed by the Woodcraft Folk, provides a back-to-basics experience for children, young people and community groups. Nestled in the Wye Valley, the 18 acre site hugs the river and is surrounded by ancient woodlands. Whether you plan a social group camp or educational school visit, Biblins offers one of the finest locations for outdoor learning in the country.

After being affected by flooding twice durng the winter our volunteers worked hard to clean up and repair the damage, only for the site to have to close two weeks into the camping season due to coronavirus.

While we have been able to access some government funding during the closure period itself, the combination of being closed for our busiest part of the year and uncertainty about when groups will be able to visit again
is hitting us hard.

The  closures also mean planned work to develop the site and the activities we are able to offer have also had to be put on hold.

Your donations will help us through this difficult year, making sure we are
 here and ready as soon as groups are able to to visit again.
