The camp is set amongst the trees in an ancient forest close to the sea, with routes to the beach through Wales most magical sand dunes. The site also has food and campsite ameneties plus added luxuries like wood burning saunas and plunge pools.

The organisers have worked in festivals and events for over a decade and wanted to create an experience that aligned to their own ethos.

Speaking about the event they said: “We discovered this amazing site that reminded us of all the best things about a camp and living outdoors, it’s set in a forest with sandy ground and is set in a beautiful landscape.We want to promote all the aspects of ‘slow living’ with people able to do as much or as little as they want we want our campers to leave the weekend feeling great”

There will also be workshops like forest school, dog drawing and ceramics. Wellness aspects around communal living will also be at the forefront, expect campfires, hammocks, daybeds. beach walks, swims, yoga, cooking and feasts. This is a strictly limited cap gathering of 500 people only.

Early bird tickets are available now at: www.campelsewhere.co.uk
