Campsites for active holidays
Walking in the Lake District

Surfing in Pembrokeshire
Gupton Farm Campsite is by Freshwater West beach, and has a hot outdoor shower and shared barn for drying wetsuits.
Kayaking in Cambridgeshire

Island camping
Brownsea Island feels a world away from the mainland, but is just a short boat ride from Poole in Dorset.
Shepherd's huts
New for this season, these upcycled, quirky huts are in a secluded area of the campsite, surrounded by bracken and heathland. Each shepherd's hut sleeps two.
Pitch your tent
The simple tent pitches are widely spaced in clearings between the trees and rotate them to support conservation on the island.
Tree tents
The tree tents are suspended between the trees ready for you to put your sleeping bag inside.
Bell tents
These traditional, pre-pitched tents have double beds inside and sleep two or four people.
Best campsites for stargazing
We have campsites with some of the nation's most star-spangled views. Enjoy the view from your pod deck, sit out under a blanket or take a walk to a special viewpoint.
Cloud Farm Campsite, Devon
Exmoor National Park is a Dark Sky Reserve, and you can stay beneath its special skies when you camp at Cloud Farm. This laid-back, riverside campsite has pitches for tents and campervans as well as pods.
Wasdale Campsite, Lake District
A stay at this remote campsite is a great opportunity for a night of stargazing. You can pitch up in your own tent or campervan, or stay in a pod or tipi.
