40 acres hosted by Phil H.
1 tent pitch
Take camping to the next level with our off-grid and eco-friendly Tree tent Experience Camp (TEC). Within 40 acres of Cornish ancient woodland, TEC offers a unique escape: three Safari tree tents, each accommodating up to three people, are suspended discreetly between trees and provide intimate yet communal spaces, letting you enjoy nature’s symphony as you sleep amidst the treetops.
Elevate your camping experience with TEC, where each night is an opportunity to sleep between the trees and create memories that swing far beyond the ordinary.
In addition to the tree tents, our TEC ensures your wilderness adventure doesn’t compromise on comfort. We provide a communal area weather-proofed using a large parachute under which we provide a Quirky wood burner made from repurposed wheel hubs to keep you toasty and seating crafted from locally sourced Oak timber. There is also a simple BBQ grill. Further shelter is provided by our large tarp-covered A-frame, furnished with a bench and further seating lovingly built by your hosts, offering perfect spots to share stories and revel in the magic of the forest.
Essential amenities include a sustainable composting toilet with rain-fed handwashing facilities, including eco-friendly handwash, a supply of drinking water, first aid kit, firelighters, heat glove and fire extinguisher, BBQ implements and a store of seasoned firewood.
Rather than renting out the three tree tents separately as pitches, we only allow for exclusive bookings. Thus, it will only be you and your friends, family or colleagues who will be having a tree tent experience. You will have exclusive-use of the fire area underneath the parachute, the A-frame shelter and the composting toilet.
You can also explore the 40-acres of the ancient Cornish woodland that is Caradon Wood, some of which is rare Atlantic or Temperate rainforest. A 15-minute walk down the slope brings you to the River Lyhner and there are nice little wild swimming spots on the bends of this river with its source close-by on Bodmin Moor.
Once you book you will be sent directions to Caradon Wood along with a full kit list: what we provide and what you need to bring along. You will be met at our Base Camp parking area by one of your hosts, either Phil or Aydin. They will show you to your tree tent/s and provide you with an overview of the facilities and the woods.
The cost per tree tent is £75/night for up to three people. Additional adults are £25/night
Check in from 14:00- check out is 12:00
Dogs- FREE but not in the tent please (Please pick up after your four-legged companion)
Please feel free to ask any questions as we are determined that everyone has that perfect wellbeing in Nature experience. Bodmin Moor is on your doorstep and the 17-mile Caradon Bike Trail passes close by the woods and allows you to explore this beautiful part of south-east Cornwall.
Our social enterprise's mission is to boost and improve the wellbeing of people and planet and this tree tent experience provides you with that opportunity whilst financially contributing to our enterprise's work to sustainably manage Caradon Wood and to provide experiences that are open to ALL.
We are committed to the W.H.O.'s One health Agenda: we are all part of Nature and not apart from it and we hope that your stay will strengthen this connection with Nature.Your home among the trees is the Safari Stingray treetent. Crafted from tough, UV-resistant material and fortified insect mesh, it’s designed to withstands the elements (and even the antics of enthusiastic kids). Stay above rugged terrain, away from dampness, and enjoy increased separation from critters. Elevate your camping experience with TEC, where each night is an opportunity to sleep between the trees and create memories that swing far beyond the ordinary.
