The Biblins youth campsite at The Doward, Whitchurch, Ross-on-Wye is now being managed by the UK charity, Woodcraft Folk.

Woodcraft Folk is a progressive youth organisation with 90 years’ experience of supporting children and young people to camp, play and learn about the environment.

The charity has been using the Biblins as a campsite for many years and has now taken on the management.

Debs McCahon, Woodcraft Folk’s Director of Development said: “Our groups have camped at Biblins for over 20 years and we are delighted that we will be in a position to safeguard this site for future generations of children to enjoy. The site is beautiful and is a special haven allowing children to play, learn and explore the environment. Woodcraft Folk will welcome all youth and community groups to the site and will prioritise creating a fun and safe experience for children”

Judith Lack, Forestry Commission Recreation Manager, Forest of Dean said: “We are pleased to select a tenant that provides the investment the Biblins requires to upgrade the campsite facilities whilst retaining the site’s youth camping ethos for many years to come. We are very much looking forward to working with Woodcraft Folk”

Woodcraft Folk will begin the season with a working weekend at the end of January, giving the site a makeover and developing their plans for the site. If you are interested in making a booking or volunteering to support children and young people to access the site email [email protected]
