UK's Most Idyllic Campsites

Whether it's for an adventure with the kids, a quirky romantic getaway or just a relaxing break, the UK offers up some spectacular settings for campers.

So, with the schools now shut for summer and this weekend’s heatwave warming up the office, we thought we’d pick out some of the finest campsites that the UK has to offer this summer.

Great Langdale, Lake District

Set on National Trust land, Great Langdale offers campers stunning views in every direction including the almighty Langdale Pikes which dominate the skyline. In close proximity to a variety of lakes, mountains and hiking routes, Great Langdale is ideal for those who want to explore the serene beauty of one of England’s most treasured areas. And with a number of luxury camping pods now available on site, not even the Lake District rain should put you off a visit.

Aberafon, Gwynedd

Tucked away between the towering Snowdonia mountains and a rolling beach leading on to the Irish Sea, Aberafon has often been praised as the best campsite in Britain. Campfires on the beach, evenings looking out to sea and daytimes spent exploring the idyllic coastline make this the perfect location for those who want a break from the business of city life.

Invercaimbe, Inverness-shire

Quite possibly the only campsite to be linked to a beach by a children’s slide, Invercaimbe is placed on a working croft which has been in the same family for 270 years. You’ll see why they’ve kept a hold of it for so long when you arrive and witness the beautiful beaches and inviting turquoise waters which surround it. Sitting on the west coast, Invercaimbe offers some of the most breath-taking sunsets available, and what better way to end the day than to sit with a cup of something warming and watch the colours spread across the sky.

Caerfai Farm, Pembrokeshire

Highly regarded as one of the UK’s leading low-carbon camping, Caerfai Farm is actually an award-winning organic, family-run dairy farm. Perched right on the edge of the Pembrokeshire coastline, there is no better place to use as your base for exploring the beautiful surroundings. The campsite also has a on-site farm shop selling an amazing range of local produce as well as warm croissants served up in the morning. Remember your tent pegs as the area can get notoriously windy, but it’ll all be worth it when you see the view.

Caolasnacon, Argyll

For peace and tranquillity there’s not many better than Argyll’s Caolasnacon campsite. Surrounded by towering mountains and a serene loch, the site is perfect for kayakers and canoeists as campers can pitch up right on the shore. As one of the least spoilt natural areas in the country, Caolasnacon is bustling with wildlife – otters, eagles and buzzards are amongst the many species which call the area home.
