Top 5 Camping Locations in the UK

With Spring on its way; now couldn’t be a better time to get a head start and start planning your summer vacation. For those so used to the same old family vacation every year (or perhaps even the lack of one) why not make this summer count and do something a little different? In-fact, why not spread your wings and travel on a camping trip to the UK; it’s different, fun, unique and will most definitely leave you with fantastic memories that are sure to last a lifetime.

I myself am guilty of being a creature of habit; I love my sun lounger and the tanned lifeguards that walk past the pool but that doesn’t mean I’ve lived, it doesn’t mean I’ve seen the world and it certainly doesn’t mean I have a lifetime of valuable memories (although the image of those lifeguards does help) which is why I personally think now couldn’t be a better time to break the habit of a lifetime and have a real adventure, an adventure that is actually worth having.

The United Kingdom is steeped in culture, beauty and good old British tradition and believe it or not, the weather isn’t as bad as they all say!
