Barnswood Scout Camp Site sits on the steeper eastern slopes above Rudyard Reservoir in Staffordshire, operated by Macclesfield & Congleton Scout District.

The site carries a notable historical connection, lying close to the reservoir where Rudyard Kipling's parents met — a place with ties to the earliest days of the Scouting movement.

The campsite caters primarily to Scout and Guide groups, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, schools, and other youth organisations, with non-youth groups also welcome.

Accommodation options include open camping and building hire, with a range of pricing tiers depending on the type of organisation booking.

The surrounding area offers walking routes along both shores of Rudyard Lake, making it a well-situated base for outdoor activities.
