Donated by Lord Boyd of Merton to Biggleswade and District Scouts, it is primarily designed for scouting and youth group activities.

The Boyd Campsite and Activity Centre has been the the loving home of Tokonatsu since 2013.

On-Site Amenities

Toilets & Showers

You can refresh yourselves daily by taking advantage of the on-site shower and toilet facilities. The site has a permenant split single-sex toilet and showering block located at the top-end of the residential camping field.

In order to minmise waiting times and to honour the heartfelt desire to remain feeling human we hire in an additional unisex portable showing unit which features more spacious additional showers for our attendees to enjoy, situated next to main operations in the car park.


Parking

We have several parking options available to our attendees at different price points and accessability levels as detailed in the sections below.

In light of the limited nature of on-site spaces and in the interest of the environment, we would like to ask all attendee's to consider car sharing or public transport where-ever possible.

Please note, users of any of these car parks do so at their own risk. Tokonatsu will not accept liability for any accidental damage, theft or loss incurred through acts of third parties.

Tokonatsu On-Site Parking

We have a limited 70 standard car parking spaces available for purchase to our attendees and is open 24/7. These are available for purchase as an add-on as part of your registration, dependant on the remaining availability for a flat rate of £15 for your ticket duration.

Disabled Parking Spaces are available for registered blue badge holders only. To obtain a disabled parking space, please purchase a standard parking space as an add-on to your registration and then select the option to change the space into a disabled parking bay. These will be verified as part of your registration on the day.

Important Notice - We have unfortunately run out of on-site parking spaces for Tokonatsu 2026. Please look to instead use our other available parking solutions.
