Immersive Experience
Sanctuary Camp
Sleeping under the stars within a living landscape of regeneration.
Sanctuary Camp offers simple, low-impact overnight stays that allow visitors to experience the sanctuary landscape in its fullness — waking with the birds, watching light shift across the meadows, and falling asleep beneath an open sky.
More than accommodation, the Camp is an invitation to participate — in stewardship activities, ecological workshops, and the quiet, restorative practice of being present in a landscape that is healing. Every stay supports the ongoing restoration of the land.
A Low-Impact Nature Camp
Intentionally simple. Designed to protect the landscape while deepening the connection between people and nature.
Ecological Stewardship
Every element of the camp is designed to protect and enhance the surrounding landscape — leaving the land healthier than we found it.
Minimal Environmental Footprint
Low-impact infrastructure, composting systems, and solar energy ensure the camp treads lightly on the land.
Quiet Connection with Nature
A place to slow down, listen to the land, and experience the rhythms of the natural world without distraction.
Learning Through Immersion
Overnight stays deepen understanding — waking with the birds, watching light change across the landscape, and feeling the seasons shift.
Simple Comforts, Natural Setting
Everything you need, nothing you don\u2019t. Each element is designed with care for the land.
Tent Platforms
Raised wooden platforms designed to protect soil and vegetation while providing comfortable tent camping. Each platform is positioned to offer privacy and a sense of immersion in the surrounding landscape.
Yurts
A small number of canvas yurts providing sheltered accommodation for small groups and retreats. Simple, warm, and connected to the land — with wood stoves for cooler seasons.
Composting Toilets
Ecological sanitation systems designed to minimize water use and environmental impact — turning waste into a resource that supports the restoration of the landscape.
Outdoor Showers
Simple outdoor shower spaces using solar or gravity-fed water systems. An experience that connects bathing to the elements — sun, wind, sky.
Wood-Fired Sauna
A traditional sauna providing warmth and restoration after days spent working on the land. Built from natural materials and heated by sustainably sourced firewood.
Outdoor Cooking Area
A communal cooking space where groups prepare meals together using seasonal ingredients grown or harvested from the sanctuary landscape.
Yurt Retreats
For those seeking a little more shelter, the Sanctuary offers a small number of canvas yurts nestled among the trees. Simple, warm, and grounded — each yurt is a quiet refuge where visitors can rest deeply after a day of stewardship and learning.
Fitted with wood stoves for cooler seasons, natural bedding, and soft lighting, the yurts honour the principle of simplicity — offering comfort without excess. Step outside and the landscape is your living room.
Campfire Gathering Circle
At the heart of the camp is a central fire circle — a place where visitors gather as the light fades, sharing stories, reflecting on the day, and connecting with one another and the land.
Log seating surrounds a stone-ringed fire pit, with the sky opening above. It is a space for evening reflection, acoustic music, storytelling, and the kind of quiet conversation that only happens around a fire.
The campfire circle is where the day ends and community begins — a tradition as old as human gathering, renewed in the context of ecological stewardship.
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
— John Muir
Respecting the Land
Sanctuary Camp is intentionally located in a designated visitor zone — set apart from sensitive wildlife habitat to ensure the protection of the Wildlife Spine and surrounding ecosystems.
The camp area has been carefully planned so that visitors can experience the landscape without disturbing the movement corridors, nesting areas, and restoration zones that are the ecological heart of the Sanctuary.
Visitors are invited to experience the land respectfully and quietly — moving gently, leaving no trace, and recognizing that they are guests in a landscape shared with countless other species.
A Gateway to Stewardship
Staying overnight transforms a visit into an experience — and an experience into a commitment to the land.
Staying overnight allows visitors to experience the sanctuary landscape more deeply — to feel the temperature drop at dusk, hear the first birdsong at dawn, and understand the landscape not as a destination but as a living system.
Camp guests are invited to participate in the ongoing work of the Sanctuary — from morning planting sessions to evening ecological talks. Every stay is an opportunity to give back to the land that holds you.

Rest, Restore, Return
Sanctuary Camp is not a holiday. It is an invitation to slow down, to participate in something larger than yourself, and to experience the deep quiet of a landscape that is coming back to life.
When you leave, you carry the land with you — and the land carries your care forward into every season that follows.
Experience the Sanctuary
Whether for a single night or a week-long stewardship retreat, Sanctuary Camp welcomes those who want to connect with the land.
