With the recession biting for many of us, the great British camping holiday is set to make a real comeback this summer. If you haven’t already booked your summer break, The Time’s Online’s 50 Best UK Campsites list might come in handy.
The list includes a wide range of differen types of campsite, including family-friendly campsites, kid-free campsites, traditional campsites with pitches for tents, campsites featuring yurts and teepees, seaside campsites, more isolated places where you can camp, campsites which will appeal to food-lovers, and sites where the accommodation is a little more luxurious (such as La Rosa in North Yorkshire, where you can stay in a gyspy caravan).
With prices starting from as low as £4 per person per night, a camping holiday can be an extremely cheap holiday option, particularly as you can find some great deals on camping equipment if you shop around.
Do you agree with the Time Online’s choices? Are there any campsites that you would recommend?

Some friends of ours are staying in what they call a ‘shed’ which again is a more permanent camping option. I believe this is just literally a wooden ‘room’ so is just like camping without the worry of being washed away!

I met you in the Smokies on your 2010 AT thru hike, we hiked together from Clingman’s Dome to Newfound Gap (I couldn’t keep you with you the whole way!) Really enjoyed meeting and talking with you. I’m borrowing some of your gear/clothing ideas for my next hike. So far the lightest on my base weight is 15 lbs. I’m hiking the Long Trail e2e nobo starting next week from Williamstown, MA. Best of luck to you and hope we meet again on the trail someday! Look foward to reading about your future hikes.
