Danemead Scout Campsite

Danemead Scout Campsite is a 34-acre outdoor facility set in ancient coppiced woodland in Hertfordshire, reachable in around 28 minutes from Central London by train.

The site offers a range of camping environments, from open grassed areas to densely wooded pitches, as well as a cabin for groups seeking a mix of indoor and outdoor experience.

Open to Scout groups, Girlguiding, Duke of Edinburgh participants, schools, and other voluntary youth organisations, Danemead is owned and managed by four Scout districts and run entirely by volunteers.

Its stated aim is to provide a back-to-basics nature experience for young people from all walks of life. Bookings are made through an online system, and the site describes itself as one of the best backwoods campsites in the UK.
