Opened in the year 2000, our District’s campsite is located ten miles north of Stafford.

Scouts pioneering a tower on the main field at Sherratts Wood

The twenty acres of semi-natural ancient woodland and seven acres of cut grass offer an ideal base for all sections of Scouting for fun, adventure and activities.

There are two main camping fields and five small fields, ‘glades’, as well as a catering and dining lodge for hire.
