The Wild Sauna Club at Brook Meadow
eleven Luxe Lakeside Sauna Weekends | Summer 2026
Back by popular demand, the lakeside sauna returns to Brook Meadow this summer.
|
After a standout season in 2025, we’re delighted to once again host The Wild Sauna Club for 11 carefully curated weekends of immersive sauna experiences beside our shimmering lake.
Rooted in nature and thoughtfully styled, this is far more than a sauna. Set at the water’s edge and designed for deep rest and reconnection, it offers a beautifully balanced wild spa escape combining the warmth of a traditional wood-fired sauna with cold plunge baths, the additional option of wild swimming, and the calming rhythm of the countryside. Together, heat, water, and landscape create a powerful form of restorative contrast therapy, inviting you to slow down, reset, and fully sink into the wild spa experience. |
Across selected weekends, the sauna experience is complemented by guided countryside runs, lakeside yoga sessions, and a pop-up coffee shop by Nicola of La Fête Fleurie, timed to coincide with sauna sessions so you can refuel with artisan coffees and homemade bakes before or after your soak.
Sauna and cold plunge sessions can be enjoyed on their own or paired with wild swimming, with options for shared communal sessions or private group bookings. Guests also have access to our cosy Fishing Lodge washrooms and hotel-style facilities, making it easy to relax and stay a little longer. Whether you’re seeking quiet wellbeing, post-run cold swim, post-swim heat, or a fresh-air reset, our lakeside sauna offers a grounding, soul-soothing escape in the heart of the great outdoors. |

new for 2026 - Brook MEadow WILD SWIMMING
We are excited to introduce wild swimming at Brook Meadow for 2026. Timed to run alongside the Wild Sauna, the wild swimming will offer a refreshing contrast between heat and cold in the beautiful natural setting. The designated swimming area runs through a mid section of our five-acre lake, measuring approximately 55 metres from front to back, with access via a pontoon located beside the sauna.
Wild swimming is available during specific, ticketed sessions only and is open to Brook Meadow guests, day visitors and sauna guests, (all aged 14 and over). For safety, swimmers must either attend with their own spotter or enter the water with a swimming partner, a float and a colourful swim hat. Minimum age of participation is 14. Anyone under 18 swimming needs to be accompanied by an adult.
To complete the experience, Nicola Ash will be on site with her La Fête Fleurie coffee shop from July to August, serving hot drinks, breakfast pots, and freshly baked treats to coincide with swim and sauna times, perfect for warming up afterwards.

Designing Brook Meadow’s Wild Spa Escape
It all started with the hotel spa–quality washrooms. From the moment guests step inside, they’re met with a level of comfort and attention to detail that’s more five-star retreat than traditional campsite. Our washrooms redefine campsite comfort with soft lighting, spacious rain showers, and elegant, high-end finishes. Designed to feel more like a luxury retreat than the outdoors, every detail invites relaxation — even in life’s simplest moments.

From Lake Como to Brook Meadow: A Designer’s Touch
When I imagine choosing a hotel by Lake Como, I’d chose the one with the dreamiest view of course but what else would be a deal maker: it would be the one with prettiest parasols and the most inviting loungers! So when Laura and I decided to bring The Wild Sauna Club to Brook Meadow, I knew I wanted to create something extra special and authentic to Brook Meadow luxury camping, a little slice of lakeside luxury. Laura’s sauna experience is beautifully grounded in nature and wellbeing and I’ve absolutely loved complementing it through design touches, joyful colour and pattern, to create that feeling of complete indulgence. It’s a collaboration I’m so excited about.
The parasols were naturally going to need deep fringes and these handmade Indonesian ones were just the ticket. Graphic artists, Peagreen created gorgeous floral designs with colours just for us to tie in with our logo, (also created by Peagreen), and just look at the results - vibrant bespoke floral sun loungers sitting under the prettiest of umbrellas!! On a warm day, stretch out on a sun lounger by the glistening lake and let yourself drift into a sense escape, a moment of pure serenity that perfectly complements the revitalising benefits of the sauna experience.
