Camping guides
Ten places worth pitching for
Where to base yourself, what to walk, when to go — and the campsites actually on the ground in each area.
Gwynedd & Conwy, Wales
Camping in Snowdonia (Eryri)
Wales’s mountain heartland, where the highest peak south of Scotland rises straight out of slate country and the sea is never more than half an hour away.
Cornwall, England
Camping on the North Cornwall Coast
Atlantic surf, cliff-top footpath and the best clustering of coastal campsites in England.
Highland, Scotland
Camping in the Scottish Highlands
Glencoe, Ben Nevis and the road north — the biggest, emptiest and most demanding camping country in Britain.
Derbyshire, England
Camping in the Peak District
Gritstone edges, limestone dales and the most accessible national park in England — twenty million people live within an hour of it.
Pembrokeshire, Wales
Camping on the Pembrokeshire Coast
Britain’s only coastal national park: 186 miles of path, puffins offshore and beaches that hold their own against anywhere in Europe.
North Yorkshire, England
Camping in the Yorkshire Dales
Limestone pavement, three big hills in one day, and market towns that still work for a living.
Hampshire, England
Camping in the New Forest
Ancient woodland, open heath and free-roaming ponies, ninety minutes from London and flat enough for anyone.
Highland, Scotland
Camping on the Isle of Skye
The Cuillin, the Quiraing and the strangest rock scenery in Britain — on an island that now needs planning rather than improvisation.
Northumberland, England
Camping in Northumberland
Empty beaches, Roman wall and the largest area of protected dark sky in Europe.
