Camp Katur

About

Get right back to nature at this amazing North Yorkshire woodland estate.

Set upon a three-hundred-acre expanse of gorgeous countryside is Camp Katur. Family-owned, this estate advocates for the land it occupies. Diversifying while providing an experience within nature, allowing you to reconnect with the earth as well as with one another. Each accommodation offers something a little different and is suited to differing comfort levels. Some have ensuite facilities, while some are completely secluded. Some have the bare minimum of indoor luxury. And many are completely off-grid, facilitating a true detox from your everyday life.

The varied selection of Geodomes, reside in a variety of spots around the camp. Perfect for families, friends or if you’re looking for a romantic break. Up to two dogs are allowed to tag along too. These unique spaces offer the most incredible of views. Whether they be of the surrounding countryside. A woodland hideyhole, or a serene spot with views of the incredible dark skies. Camp Katur offers a range of workshops to enhance your stay and allow you to experience outdoor living at its most authentic. Learn fire building, seasonal foraging and wild cookery, den building and tool making.

Inside

Each Geodome at Camp Katur offers a comfortable stay, with a wide and varied range of facilities available at each. All sleep up to four people, with the Forest Retreat sleeping up to six. If you’re looking for complete luxury, choose one of the two Geodomes on Chestnut Hill. Bellatrix and Cosmo each have an internal kitchen, and ensuite bathroom as well as a double bed and a double mezzanine bed. Plus, the space is kept super cosy with the log burner, and at night time, you’ll be lost in the skies lying beneath the stargazing ceiling. Or go back to basics in the unidomes. A unique experience with panoramic views of the forest floor and all that resides there. Take it all in from your double bed. Keep toasty warm thanks to the gas heating, with flickering candlelight creating a cost ambience. Meanwhile, larger families will be comfortable in Forest Retreat. With a lounge and kitchenette. A double and twin bedrooms, and a cool hammock bed in the lounge.

Outside

Outdoor living is the aim of the game at Camp Katur, and your Geodome is set up for exactly that! Each has its own private deck and barbecue, ideal for testing those wild cooking skills! And several come with their own private hot tub, most of which are wood-fired. Is there anything more soothing after a day out in nature than a dip in warm swirling waters? On the wider site, for those accommodations without private en suites or kitchens, communal facilities are available. Two well-equipped kitchens, plus showers and loos. For kids, they’ll be more than occupied with the Woodland Kingdom and Swing play parks. Gym bunnies will adore the outdoor gym. And you can while away your days exploring the woods. Picnic at the plane crash site. Or bring your bikes and discover the wild beauty of the Yorkshire Dales.
