Biblins Youth Campsite
(Average user rating: 5 unrated 4.7/5)

Campfire with canoes at biblins         

Biblins campsite is situated in the beautiful Wye Valley along a mile of riverside meadows four miles north of Monmouth, close to the famous Symonds Yat rapids. This location makes it one of the best places in Southern Britain for young people to enjoy outdoor education in spectacular scenery.

For the safety of the young people use is restricted to pre-booked youth groups and qualified staff. Its seclusion in the depths of the Wye Gorge gives Biblins a very special “backwoods” feel.

The site is situated in the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by the woodland of the Wye Gorge Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Accommodation consists of The Bunkhouse with room for 35, The Burrow, sleeping 19 and camping for up to 450 in 11 fields. There is no electricity on site but the Bunkhouse has a generator. Open fires are allowed on designated hearths and firewood is available for a small additional charge.

Many outdoor activities are available locally. There are walking and cycling trails in the Wye Valley itself and in the nearby Forest of Dean.

The site is less than 2 miles from the A40 giving good motorway access from the M4, M5 and M50.

Great site. We have used it on several occasions for our club. the facilities are well maintained and kids love it. Graeme and Sue who work there can't do enough for you. I would fully recommend the site to any youth groups who are paddling in the area.

Brilliant site! We've brought our Cubs here before and looking forward to another great weekend staying at the log cabin.

A nice site although it is a little on the public side with a footpath going through the middle of it.
