New for summer 2024 – The Frontier Camp
Get out in the open, back to nature, and camp in the Heart of Wales, in the Brecon Beacons, in our traditionally handmade canvas Baker Tent
Get the authentic, traditional Bushcraft camp experience, reminiscent of the adventures of our absolute hero, Bill Mason.
A Baker Tent, in its construction is pretty simple and can be opened up to allow the heat of your campfire to circulate throughout. They are even sometimes referred to as ‘Camp Fire Tents’, for this reason.
Super cosy and perfect for a winter camp, but also breathable and open for warmer weather. Pretty versatile and not a spot of nylon in sight!
Your Baker Tent will be set up for you on arrival, with the following items. And if you fall in love with it – we have more – packed up and ready for you to take home with you in our canvas carry case!
