There’s something undeniably special about waking up to birdsong, unzipping your tent to morning mist rising off the reservoir, and planning a day of fun and fresh air. Camping at Bewl Water in Lamberhurst isn’t just about sleeping under the stars – it’s about packing your weekend with memories, laughter, and adventure.
Whether you’re here for a peaceful retreat or an action-packed family break, here are the very best things to do while camping at Bewl Water.
Splash into Fun at the Aqua Park
Get ready to bounce, climb and splash on our giant floating inflatable obstacle course – a summer must-do! The Aqua Park is brilliant fun for kids, teens, and grown-ups alike. Even better, campers enjoy 20% off – so there’s every reason to take the plunge.
Pedalos, Sailing and Waterfront Fun
Take it slow with a peaceful pedal boat ride or glide across the water in a hired sailing dinghy. Many of our water activities are seasonal, so be sure to check availability and book early to avoid disappointment.
Woodland Laser Tag Battles
Head into the woods for a family showdown like no other. Laser Tag at Bewl Water is fast-paced, tactical fun in a natural outdoor arena – ideal for older children and teens (and competitive parents too!).
Camp Games and Cosy Evenings
Rounders, cricket, Capture the Flag – your camping pitch doubles as a playground when the sun’s out. And when evening rolls in? It’s time for toasted marshmallows, torch-lit games and storytelling under the stars.
Adventure Playgrounds for All Ages
From our pirate-themed adventure playground to the indoor soft play zone, little ones will be entertained for hours. Let their imaginations run wild as they climb, crawl and slide their way through our play areas – perfect for post-lunch energy bursts or rainy-day rescues.
Family Fun Days & Special Events
If you’re visiting over a weekend or during the school holidays, don’t miss our Family Fun Days. Think bouncy castles, arts and crafts, face painting and even dragon boat racing – all adding a little extra magic to your stay.
Explore 12½ Miles of Trails
Hire bikes from the Waterfront Café (child seats and maps available!) or set off on foot to explore the scenic 12.5-mile trail around the reservoir. It’s the perfect way to take in the stunning views – and wear the kids out before bedtime!
Fishing and Boat Hire
For a more tranquil afternoon, why not try your hand at fishing? Bewl Water is home to pike, perch, and trout, with boat hire and tackle available on site. It’s a brilliant bonding activity – whether you’re a seasoned angler or trying it for the first time.
