Adventure Queens Big Campout 2026

If you've not been to one of our campouts before think: walks, campfire stories, skills sharing and making amazing new adventure buddies! As we'll be next to the river this year expect some water-based activities!

Here's what you need to know:

When and where?

When: It's the weekend of 15th-17th May at the lovely Byecross farm campsite on the river Wye. Whether you live close by or just feel like an excuse to explore a new part of the UK with fellow Adventure Queens, grab a ticket. You can stay for one night or two!

Where: Byecross farm Camspite https://www.byecrosscampsite.com/

Who's it for?

Adventure Queens (all women, 18+ years of age). Please leave your little ones and pets at home, and have a night or two away just for you.

How much is it?

Ticket prices start at £28 for Saturday night or £45 for Friday and Saturday night. This covers the campout costs, booking fees along with campsite necessities, firewood and campfire goodies. We are also offering a small number of reduced-price access tickets for anyone who would otherwise be unable to attend due to financial barriers.

Tickets include all activities, but exclude equipment hire if needed (e.g. SUP).

How do you get there?

By car/van: There's lots of space for parking on the site and we'll give you more info on this when you arrive.

Carpooling is great for the environment and helping out fellow AQs! If you're looking to set something up, just pop up a post in our WhatsApp group (we'll send the link when you buy your ticket).

By train: the nearest train station is Hereford and we'll be arranging pick ups at specifc times. Please let us know if you need a pick up (hello@adventurequeens.co.uk)

What if i'm new? I won't know anybody!

Most of our attendees come alone and many don't know anyone yet. This is the perfect opportunity to meet wonderful like minded women! If it would be helpful to have a chat beforehand just drop us a line on hello@adventurequeens.co.uk and we'd be happy to chat through any questions or concerns. We promise we're a really friendly bunch :)

What happens if it rains? And even pouring?

Rain or shine, the campout will be on! Just bring your waterproofs and we'll have a blast :)

I have more questions - who can I ask?
