If you think you know the UK inside out, think again. There are plenty of remote beauty spots and scenic natural wonders you haven’t seen, and touring the UK is a great way to educate your family and learn to love the place you live. Camping around the UK is an affordable and very accessible way to holiday and here we have put together a list of the top ten camping hotspots in the UK, along with the critical camping bags and covers you need to take with you. Whether you are on foot, in the car or towing a caravan or motorhome, this will be the adventure of a lifetime. 
- Cornwall – Some say there is a different microclimate in Cornwall which often makes you think you are abroad. What we do know is there are unique animal and wildlife spotting opportunities, along with dramatic coastlines, epic sandy beaches, coastal walks and a culture of watersports and nightlife for the more active amongst you.
Don’t forget – A bag to keep your tent pegs together on the trip up, you can’t afford to lose them.
- Yorkshire Dales – Endless greenery and history, rolling hills, charming villages with the friendliest people on earth and some excellent walking routes. You won’t struggle for a great spot to pitch your tent in the famous Yorkshire Dales.
Don’t forget – Most campsites offer an electricity hook-up these days, so don’t forget a cable bag to keep all those vital phone and tablet chargers tidy.
- Lake District – Right next door to the Dales is England’s largest national park, famous for its lakes, but also offering stunning scenery, numerous walking trails and plentiful watersports opportunities.
Don’t forget – Someone in your family group is bound to utilise the porta potti at some point, so a porta potti toilet bag and cover is essential.
- Peak District – There are some lovely, picturesque villages in the Peak District, set amongst the rugged hills which offer plentiful hiking and climbing opportunities, but also provide an unlikely landscape for camping. Believe us though, camping in the Peak District is definitely one to tick off your list.
Don’t forget – It gets windy in them hills, and you’ll need a windbreak to keep the tent steady, so a windbreak cover should be a top priority.
- Scottish Highlands – If it’s dramatic landscape you are after, the Scottish Highlands delivers in spades. Lochs, rugged mountains and heather-laden moors are a great spot for camping, and you might even spot the Loch Ness Monster.
Don’t forget – Camping chairs are essential for a comfortable holiday experience, so get yourself a camping chair bag to enjoy the Scottish Highlands in all their glory.
- Isle of Mull (Scotland) – For some people camping is a real back to basics experience, and the Isle of Mull delivers on that front. As remote a location as you could wish for, this is often described as wild camping. You shouldn’t be bothered by too many tourists, but do also enjoy the stunning beaches and keep an eye out for unusual wildlife.
Don’t forget – Keep your tent tidy and organised with a bag to keep your dirty laundry together.
- New Forest – Heading to the south coast we have the New Forest with its ancient woodlands, wild ponies and peaceful campsites. Enjoy a slower pace of life and a side of England you may never have seen before.
Don’t forget – Make sure that gazebo is kept dry and clean, or you won’t have the extra cover you need to enjoy the evenings.
- Northumberland – An often forgotten area which rivals anything in the north for stunning coastlines, historic castles and a varied and interesting national park. Northumberland also has the added attraction of dark skies for campsite stargazing.
Don’t forget – Dirty walking boots and wellies can make a real mess of your tent, so keep the dirt out with a walking boots storage bag.
- South West Wales – It is a tough choice to pick the best of Wales, but the mix of beautiful beaches, rugged cliffs, charming villages and coastal paths of the Pembrokeshire coast and the Gower peninsula really hit the spot as a camping location.
Don’t forget – Camping means barbecues after a long days’ activities, so keep yours clean and dry with a barbecue cover.
- Norfolk Coast – Another underrated part of the UK with unique salt marshes, boating opportunities in the Broads, sandy beaches and coastal walking paths.
Don’t forget – Keep that tent organised and your sleeping bag dry with an essential sleeping bag cover.
