Completed projects include 15 Hobbit Holes, 15 Gingerbread Houses, 18 glamping cabins, a biomass boiler room, and major bar and service block upgrades.
The Dobinsons
Raymond, Trevor and three generation of the Dobinson family have been involved in the groundworks at The Quiet Site for the last 50 years. It was Raymond’s uncle who first started camping here in the 1960s, so it’s fabulous they still have a hand in how things are developed. Much of what you see here today started with these guys!
Ryan
Ryan has been creating beautiful joinery for us for many years now. His piece de resistance is the silver birch tree sculpture that grows through our zero-waste shop.

Kyle
Kyle is the second generation of the Benson family to keep the lights on here. He has overseen all major projects for the last 5 years, taking over from his father, Stephen, and business partner Simon. 2025 saw a complete overhall of all our electric hook ups. 2026 sees a new 350KVA transformer arrive along with a new meter room and associated works. More car chargers will be coming online in the Autumn.
Jacob
