Best Places In Britain To Go Camping
Wheems Organic Farm, Scotland(01 of10)
You really do feel like you are on the edge of the world at Wheems Organic Farm. The views from this South Ronaldsay site seem to extend into eternity. Battered as the remote Orkney Islands are by the elements, the cliff-top vantage point can feel a little exposed, but well worth it for the simply breathtaking views. If you'd feel more secure kipping under canvas, the two solid wooden bothies (double-glazed and insulated with sheeps' fleece) are just the ticket. Be sure to sample the farm's famous organic veg.

Town Farm, Buckinghamshire(02 of10)
City living got you down? Is the Big Smoke more of big joke now – one that just isn't funny anymore? Well, sanctuary beckons just an hour's drive north-west of the capital in sunny Bedfordshire – sanctuary otherwise known as Town Farm. This bona-fide working sheep farm has unparalleled views, nestled as it is at the foot of the picturesque Chiltern Hills. The camping field itself is vast. Tents can be pitched at the foot of Ivinghoe Beacon, where the famous Ridgeway Walk starts its journey to Wiltshire, or looking down over the Vale of Aylesbury. (credit:Cool Camping)
Eco Camp UK at Beech Estate Woodland Campsite, East Sussex(03 of10)
Nestled deep within an ancient East Sussex woodland, Eco Camp UK is the green-minded brainchild of affable Aussie host, Hugh. With his finger firmly on the sustainability pulse (facilities include wood-fired showers and compost loos), this campsite conservationist ensures that his low-impact site leaves the sprawling Beech Estate in all its unspoilt splendour. The spacious bell tents (all fully equipped and furnished) are just the ticket after a day of woodland walks and wildlife watching – all within An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Brook Meadow, Leicestershire(04 of10)
Brook Meadow might just be the East Midlands' best kept camping secret. This secluded site hosts some 50 well-kept grass pitches set amongst 15 idyllic acres. The centre-piece of this pastoral paradise is the huge fishing lake – teeming with carp and tench. Beside it's tranquil waters, you'll no doubt catch a glimpse of the area's resident wildlife – waddling ducks, wading herons, even the odd deer. As relaxing as the lazy pace of life here is, the neighbouring outdoor adventure centre offers quad-biking and clay-pigeon shooting should you fancy something a little more high octane.

Penrallt Coastal Camping, Wales(05 of10)
The Lleyn Peninsula has an abundance of spectacular settings that are perfect for a pitch up. So it takes something very special indeed to stand out from the camping crowd. Something like Penrallt Coastal Camping. This ever-popular site is carpeted with vivacious wildflowers leading over craggy cliffs to the crashing waves of the Irish Sea below. The unspoilt beach at Porth Towyn and the charming little harbour at Porth Ysgaden are great for spotting seals. Head the other way and the vast, empty golden sands at Traeth Penllech are yours to explore. (credit:Cool Camping)
Greenacres, Somerset(06 of10)
Keeping the kids entertained on holiday is no small task. Thankfully at Greenacres, you needn't worry. This humungous four and a half acres camping field (with an unobtrusive 40 pitches spread around the perimeter) has a central swathe that is (unofficially) reserved for various dragon-slaying and spell-casting playtime activities, organised by onsite entertainers, the Lazy Dayzee Crew. All the magic takes place in car and tent-free zones meaning your littl’uns can enjoy some wholesome outdoor fun in perfect safety. (credit:Cool Camping)
Nantcol Waterfalls, Wales(07 of10)
Nantcol Waterfalls is camping as it used to be (and some would argue, still should be). There's no bells and whistles here; no guyrope gimmickry or fancy organised entertainment (except if you count the river rope-swing). The beauty of Nantcol lies in its simplicity. This refreshingly understated site has been pulling in the punters since the 1920s. Its enviable location in Snowdonia National Park attracts scores of campers every season, eager to explore the eponymous waterfalls and frolic in the river at the foot of Wales' most iconic mountain.

Badrallach, Scotland(08 of10)
Badrallach has to be seen to be believed. A ruggedly wild site on the remote Scoraig peninsula, campers are spoilt with stunning views here stretching across Little Loch Broome and the mighty An Teallach mountain. A stay at Badrallach is the very definition of "getting away from it all". Scenery aside, there's a wealth of outdoor activities to enjoy, from power-kiting and sea kayaking to the intriguingly named blo-karting. After a day of vigorous outdoor pursuits, rest those weary bones in either tent, bothy or airstream B&B – the views are spectacular wherever you choose. (credit:Cool Camping)
Porthclais Farm, Wales(09 of10)
Porthclais Farm is a genuine Pembrokeshire institution. This small, family-run campsite is embraced by Porthclais Harbour to the west and St Brides Bay – needless to say, the views are breathtaking. A pitch-up at Porthclais is all about making the most of the stunning coastal location – from rockpooling and sailing to traversing the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The Blue Flag-awarded beach at nearby Whitesands is also a haven for surfers. (credit:Cool Camping)
Glendaruel, Scotland(10 of10)
Argyll's sleepy Cowal Peninsula is not particularly well-known, even among most Scots. As a result, Glendaruel offers the perfect bucolic bolthole for slipping away from Glasgow and the bigger Scottish conurbations. While the main woodland park is spread over a mammoth 22-acres, the field set aside for camping accommodates a humble 10 pitches, away from the caravans and statics.A variety of paths snake their way into the surrounding forests, while the quiet roads are ideal for cycling and walks. The local seafood is legendary too. (credit:Cool Camping)
