Things to do

If you can muster the energy to leave the comfort of the Yurt and the warmth of the wood burning stove then there is just so much to see and do.

If you are seeking that quiet out of the way picnic spot, looking for that perfect wild swimming hole or want to know where the best cafes are then we have a few off the beaten track ideas for you to explore during your stay.

We also offer an array of specialist instructor led activities available to pre-book before your stay running from the sites or a short drive away. We offer everything from gorge scrambling to moonlit canoeing as well as bushcraft and survival courses.

Alternatively if you just want to get away from it all and explore under your own steam we also offer stand up paddle board, canoe and kayak and cycle hire. Also check out our recipe section which has some great ideas for some top camp grub. Download, bring away with you and make it a gastro-glamping holiday to remember.

Our things to do section provides information on all these and much more. Your adventure starts here. Please contact the Long Valley Yurts team for further information and booking.

Some great recipe ideas

Cooking great food in the outdoors with friends and family is one of the simple joys of camping, it just somehow tastes better. There’s just nothing quite like sitting around the fire with the sizzle and smell of the evening meal on the grill. You will be amazed what is possible with a few basic ingredients, a couple of good recipes and a sense of adventure.

Here are a few of our favourite recipes, all tried and tested by the Long Valley Yurts team. A special thanks to Cool Camping and Martin Dory and Sarah Randell for their recipes, they’re great and super tasty. Please feel free to download a copy of the recipes try them at home and bring them away with you on your holidays.
