We are in need of new places to go camping and we need a bit of help finding somewhere as we can't just squeeze into any old holiday park or campsite. We have a fairly detailed list of criteria for where we go, comprised of over 40 years of experience and knowledge from Bristol Quaker Camp's existence. If you think you might know somewhere we could camp for 2 weeks in July/August, have a read of our criteria below and get in touch!

We are a family-orientated group of people of all ages and backgrounds and we pride ourselves on being very eco-friendly and completely self-sustaining for a week, leaving nothing behind. We use deep pits to dispose of food and other waste anything we can't bury, we take to local recycling or waste centres.
