Our landscapes are breathtaking and our national parks beautiful, so if you’re thinking about the UK for your next camping trip, here’s some of the best places you could go:
Dartmoor
Don’t let Sherlock Holmes scare you away with talk of gigantic hounds, this land is eerily beautiful and is most definitely a fantastic camping destination, mostly due to the great hiking opportunities that it offers. The national park is breathtaking and is a ‘must-see’ destination for serious and casual campers alike.
The Lake District
This great camping destination is operated by the National Trust in Great Langdale, and situated just behind the Langdale Pikes, which are great for hiking. The Lake District is one of England’s most popular tourist destinations, partly due to the fact that it’s home to England’s highest mountain in Scafell Pike and England’s deepest lake in Lake Westwater. Definitely worth a visit!
Snowdonia
Snowdonia National Park is glorious and home to vast landscapes. Adventure sports, such as rock climbing, are popular here and the best way to get involved is, without a doubt, camping. The National Slate Museum is also worth a visit as it offers a unique insight into the history of slate, the most Welsh of Welsh industries.
Cornwall
Surfing is huge down in Cornwall and camping is definitely a great way to give you great access to the waves! Camping will also enable you to explore the mountains and hike alongside the coastlines whenever you like. In addition to that, tourists gather year ‘round to explore the many historical sites that Cornwall has to offer, from Tintagel Castle on the coast to Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm. We’re sure you will have a great time camping!
Rothiemurcus
In the heart of Scotland near Aviemore lies this beautiful scenic campsite. Rothiemurcus is located among Caledonian pine trees in the centre of the Cairngorms National Park and there are over 50 outdoor adventure activities available at the close by Rothiemurcus Centre including walking and mountain bike trails. This campsite truly is beautiful and is definitely worth a visit.
