Dorneywood, Burnham, Buckinghamshire
Located on the western edge of Burnham Beeches, the site features a large open field, naturally screened from a narrow road on one side and open into woodland on the other. A considerable number of mature trees stand around the site and “chalk dips” provide attractive landscape features, including one used as a campfire circle, with seating for up to 600 people.
Able to camp up to 300, there is a modern toilet block with facilities for those with special needs. There is a storm hut, which has a small kitchen and a large area with tables and chairs, however this is not suitable for Pack holidays or Beaver sleepovers. The “Lid” which is a barn type covered activity area of 800 sq feet provides additional shelter.
The site does not have any activities but within a few miles there are swimming and ice-skating at Slough, bowling and crystal maze at Maidenhead and boating at Marlow. Additional tourist attractions are Windsor Castle, Bekonscot model village, caves, motor museum, shire horse centre, rare breeds farm, Thorpe Park and Legoland, all within 35-minutes drive.
The nearest public transport and shops are two miles away. The camp is only open from March to October for camping, as there are no water or toilet facilities during the winter months.
