Year-Round Access

Not all campsites remain open throughout the year. If you’re planning autumn or winter touring, check opening dates before booking.

The Peak District

Hartington Hills is tucked away on the edge of the Peak District National Park (set your sat nav system for SK17 0HH). Previously known as Upper Hurst Farm, this charming site in Hartington is a well-maintained, dog-friendly, family-run site balancing modern motorhome facilities with rustic charm, offering panoramic views of the undulating Derbyshire countryside.

There are 25 fully serviced motorhome ‘super pitches’, with each at a spacious 11m sq. Pitches are level and fully serviced (Wi-Fi access, electric hookup, fresh water tap and grey waste drain). There is a pristine amenities block with underfloor heating, private shower cubicles and sinks for dishwashing, plus laundry facilities. The site is eco-conscious too, using renewable energy and promoting recycling initiatives.

This is a peaceful place for walkers and nature lovers alike, with miles of footpaths accessible directly from the gate. There are plenty of highlights nearby.

  • Dovedale Stepping Stones (DE6 2AY): A scenic riverside walk along the River Dove with iconic limestone formations and wildlife will lead you to these 19th century man made stepping stones, a charming way to cross the river.
  • Arbor Low Stone Circle (DE45 1JS): Often dubbed the ‘Stonehenge of the North’, this is the most important Neolithic site in Derbyshire. Close by is the enigmatic Gib Hill, a large burial mound.
Cornwall

Treen Farm Campsite at Penzance (TR19 6LF) is perfect if you’re looking to park your motorhome or campervan somewhere with a special view of the ocean. Set on a working farm quite close to Land’s End, this cliffside gem offers grass motorhome and campervan pitches with sweeping views over Pedn Vounder Beach and Porthcurno, making it one of the best UK campsites for travellers wanting a true taste of the Cornish coast.

Treen Farm keeps things simple – but excels where it matters. Although it doesn’t offer full serviced pitches (there’s no electric hook-up so it’s more suitable for off-grid enthusiasts), Treen has excellent basic facilities including clean loos, hot showers, a shop selling local produce. There’s plenty of space to manoeuvre even larger vehicles. Dogs are allowed (though there are seasonal restrictions, so check the Farm’s website). This basic but extremely popular site fills up quickly during the summer, and for good reason. Waking up to sunrise over the sea is worth the drive alone. There are also plenty of gems close by to explore.

  • Minack Theatre (TR19 6JU): This absolutely extraordinary open-air theatre is carved directly into the cliffs, offering drama and music performances with ocean backdrops.
  • Logan Rock (TR19 6LG): A dramatic granite outcrop offering a challenging hike and rewarding views over the Atlantic.
Scotland

Few sites can boast a setting as breathtaking as Cashel Campsite, nestled right on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond in the Trossachs National Park (G63 0AW). For motorhome and campervan travellers seeking immersion in the raw beauty of the highlands, this Forestry and Land Scotland site is unbeatable.

Pitches are generously spaced and several offer terrific loch-side views. Cashel is equipped with electric hook-ups (10 amp) and a modern, heated shower block. There are motorhome service points for waste and water. BBQs and campfires are permitted (in designated areas). While not exactly luxurious, the facilities here are very clean and perfectly adequate for your peaceful retreat into nature. It’s a dream destination for kayaking, fishing, and birdwatching – but it’s Scotland so make sure you bring midge repellent in summer!

Places to Explore: 

  • Ben Lomond (G63 0AR): One of Scotland’s most accessible Munros, offering a challenging hike (974 metres) and stunning panoramic views from the summit.
  • Inversnaid Falls (FK8 3TU): This hidden gem (where powerful waters flow down from Loch Arklet into the stillness of Loch Lomond) is accessible via a scenic drive and a short woodland walk.
Devon

Sitting atop the North Devon cliffs between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the wonderfully named Damage Barton Caravan Club Site (EX34 7EJ) offers a rare combination of five-star facilities and raw coastal scenery. Managed by the Caravan & Motorhome Club, this site welcomes non-members too, so it’s a fantastic choice for all travellers.

The pitches at Damage Barton (which is also a 600 acre working beef and sheep farm) are hardstanding and fully serviced. Impressive sea views are available on the upper terraces. The site is immaculately maintained, and its heated facilities block includes family bathrooms, dishwashing areas – and even a small dog shower. There are motorhome waste points and drive-over grey water disposal, free Wi-Fi throughout the site and a laundry room and shop.

Places to Explore: 

  • South West Coast Path: Access one of the UK’s most scenic long-distance walks directly from the site. This 630 route runs from Minehead in Somerset to Poole in Dorset, and so it doesn’t have a single postcode we can provide, so we advise joining from Damage Barton!
  • Arlington Court (EX31 4LP): A National Trust estate near Barnstaple featuring a Regency house and an impressive collection of horse-drawn vehicles, set in a picturesque garden.
Wales

Overlooking the stunning Lligwy Bay on the east coast of Anglesey, Tyddyn Isaf (at LL70 9PQ) is a multi-award-winning campsite that raises the bar for luxury and location. It’s a site where attention to detail meets natural splendour – so it’s the kind of place motorhome travellers or campervanners might plan to stay for a weekend but end up booking for a fortnight.

Its sea-view pitches cater to vehicles of all sizes and include electric hook-ups and satellite TV connections, and the site boasts a spotless facilities block (showers and toilets, with underfloor heating). There’s a small shop, a free gym and family games room, and an onsite licensed restaurant so you can have a pint with your meal! Private access path to the beach is a massive bonus for those who choose to stay here.

Places to Explore: 

  • Beaumaris Castle (LL58 8AP): This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Britain, and was originally built as part of Edward I’s campaign to conquer north Wales in the 13th-century. There’s an admission charge, and Beaumaris is open all year round.
  • Lligwy Burial Chamber (LL72 8NH): This mysterious Neolithic site is just a short walk inland. The site comprises a circle of upright stones made into a low chamber by a large roof slab. It was excavated in the early 20th century, Close to the village of Moelfre.
Norfolk

A pioneer in sustainable tourism, Deepdale Camping & Rooms is located in the village of Burnham Deepdale, within the North Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (PE31 8DD). This welcoming and well-equipped dog-friendly site has a community vibe, and caters beautifully to motorhomes and campervans looking for comfort with a bit of conscience.

The well-drained pitches are flat, grassy and spacious. Electric hook-ups and a dedicated motorhome service area provide all the essential services, including underfloor heated shower blocks which feel more like a boutique hotel than a campsite. There are laundry and dishwashing areas, plus a café and independent shops on site. A strong focus on local produce, environmental responsibility and accessibility make this one of the best UK campsites. There’s a ‘no noise after 10pm’ policy, so Deepdale is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet.

Places to Explore: 

  • Holkham Hall (in Wells-next-the-Sea at NR23 1AB): An 18th-century Palladian mansion with a beautiful deer park, plus a walled garden and an expansive beach backed by sand dunes and pine forests.
