Amenities

Jordan Heights is an off-grid camp site perfect for a traditional camp. It has mains running water – and that’s about where the luxuries end. The campsite uses generators to power lighting to allow evening activities throughout the year and has eco-composting toilets.

The site offers a campfire circle, dedicated fire lighting areas and a communal open-fire cooking area. The site also has a small hut called ‘Doreen’s Lodge’ equipped with benches, tables, and an open fireplace.

If you’re new to using the site, we highly recommend a site visit before your camp.
