The Best of UK Camping Holidays

If 2020 was the year of the Homeliday, then 2021 must be the year of the Staycation.

Remove the stress from holidays and stay a little closer to home, taking time to explore some of the great National Parks or hidden corners that the UK has to offer. Get back to nature in the way that suits you, whether that is by pitching up in style with a luxurious basecamp and all the mod cons for the true glamping experience or getting down and dirty with a multi-day hike, bike or kayak adventure. Or why not pick up the pace, strip back your kit and give fastpacking a go.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve picked our top destinations, challenges and ideas with some essential kit for you to try this year.

But why stop there?

Mix it up and take your bikes along for some glamping or grab a pack raft and create your own fastpack/paddle pack hybrid challenge; run to the source of the Thames or Tay, anyone? Or why not glamp up your next trail running holiday with a luxurious basecamp, perfect for unwinding after long miles on the trails.

And if Wild Camping is a little too tame for you, ditch the tent and break out the tarp for a lightweight bivvy. Learning a little bushcraft with your tribe is a fantastic way of adding a whole new dimension to your time in the outdoors.

However you choose to enjoy the great British outdoors, we hope these quick guides open up just some of the potential a staycation can hold. And after all, half the fun is in the planning.

So, grab the maps, get the kit out and start making some memories!
