Where to go camping in the UK

Britain is small but astonishingly varied. Broadly, the best camping breaks down into:

• Mountains — Snowdonia, the Lake District, the Scottish Highlands and the Brecon Beacons. Valley-head campsites at the start of classic walks.
• Coast — Pembrokeshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Northumberland. Cliff-top and beachside pitches, surf and coast-path walking.
• Dales and moors — the Peak District and Yorkshire Dales. Farm campsites, drystone walls, riverside pitches and pubs.
• Forest and heath — the New Forest, with its free-roaming ponies and 100 miles of car-free cycle track.

For a full breakdown by nation, read our guides to camping in Wales and the Lake District valley by valley, or browse every destination on Firecamp.

When to go

The UK camping season runs from Easter to the end of October. Within that:

Our month-by-month guide covers each month in detail. The short version: May and September are the connoisseur's months, and school holidays need booking well ahead.

What camping costs in the UK

Prices vary by region and season, but as a guide for two adults:

• Tent pitch: £10–£35 per night. Electric hook-up adds £3–£6.
• Campervan or motorhome pitch: £20–£45, usually with hook-up.
• Camping pod: £40–£80.
• Bell tent, shepherd's hut or safari tent: £60–£300 depending on how much of a bathroom is involved.

Extras like dogs (£1–£5), extra cars and firewood add a little. Every campsite on Firecamp shows its nightly price on the listing, and you can search by dates to see exactly what a stay costs before you book. Not sure whether to go for a pitch or a pod? Read glamping vs camping.

The rules: wild camping and campsites

England and Wales: camping requires the landowner's permission, with the single exception of designated areas of Dartmoor, where backpack camping is legal. "Stealth" high-level camping is tolerated in places like the Lake District fells but is not a right.

Scotland: the Land Reform Act gives you the right to wild camp responsibly on most unenclosed land, with seasonal restrictions around Loch Lomond. Vehicles are not covered.

Campsites remove all of that uncertainty and add a hot shower. We go into the law properly in wild camping in the UK.

Other things worth knowing:

• Campfires are banned at many sites and across the New Forest; raised fire pits are often allowed. Check the listing.
• Dogs are welcome at most UK campsites, with restrictions during lambing season on farms. See camping with dogs.
• Check-in is typically from 14:00–15:00 and check-out by 11:00–12:00.

What to pack

The essentials for a UK trip in any month:

1. Tent (pitch it once at home first), pegs, a rubber mallet and ten spare pegs
2. A 3-season sleeping bag and a sleeping mat — the ground steals heat
3. Head torch
4. Warm layers for the evening, even in August
5. Waterproofs, because it is Britain
6. A gas stove, one pan, a kettle, a lighter and matches
7. Camping chairs
8. A power bank

Our first-time camping checklist has the full list, including the five things beginners always forget.

Types of camping in the UK

• Tent camping — the classic. Cheapest, most flexible, most places to do it.
• Campervan and motorhome — hardstanding pitches with hook-up; the NC500 and coastal routes are built for it, but book ahead.
• Glamping — pods, bell tents, yurts and huts. Bedding and often heating provided.
• Backpacking — carry everything, use small hill campsites or (in Scotland and on Dartmoor) wild camp.
• Family camping — larger sites with playgrounds, pools and flat pitches, usually near a beach.

How to book a campsite

Booking has moved online. On Firecamp you can:

1. Search by place, dates and party size (including dogs).
2. Compare pitches, pods and prices side by side, with live availability.
3. Book instantly with a confirmation email — no phone calls, no deposits by post.

Popular sites in Snowdonia, the Lakes, Cornwall and Pembrokeshire fill weeks ahead for summer weekends and bank holidays, so book early. Midweek stays and shoulder months are far easier.

Camping FAQs

Is camping in the UK safe? Yes. Campsites are family-friendly, well-run and usually have a warden on site. The main hazards are weather and the occasional cow.

Can I camp anywhere in the UK? No — only in Scotland (responsibly) and on parts of Dartmoor. Elsewhere use a campsite or ask the landowner.

What's the best month for camping in the UK? May or September for weather, quiet and price. August for the warmest days if you don't mind company.

Do I need to book a campsite in advance? For weekends between May and September, yes. Midweek and out of season you can often turn up, but booking guarantees your pitch.

How much does a campsite cost per night? Typically £10–£35 for a tent pitch for two, more for hook-up, pods and glamping.

The New Forest — 1h 45 by car, 1h 30 by train

The classic London camping escape. Ponies wander through the campsites, the forest is laced with car-free cycle tracks and the Solent coast at Lepe and Milford on Sea is minutes away. Trains from Waterloo reach Brockenhurst in 90 minutes and several campsites are walkable or a short cycle from the station — genuinely car-free camping.

Best for: families, cyclists, first-timers.
Campsites in the New Forest →

The South Downs — 1h 15

England's newest national park runs from Winchester to Eastbourne and is within reach of the Brighton line. Campsites in the Meon Valley, around Arundel and behind the Seven Sisters combine chalk downland walks with sea swims. Trains from Victoria to Lewes or Eastbourne make it easy without a car.

Best for: walkers, weekend hikes on the South Downs Way, Brighton day trips.

The Surrey Hills — 45 minutes

The closest proper countryside to London. Box Hill, Leith Hill and the Devil's Punch Bowl are all in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and there are small campsites around Dorking and Guildford that feel far further from the M25 than they are. Ideal for a one-night escape or your very first camping trip.

Best for: a quick test run, cyclists (Box Hill), no-car trips from Waterloo.

The Chilterns — 1 hour

Beech woods, red kites, chalk streams and proper pubs. Campsites around Henley, Marlow and the Thames Path make a good base for river swimming and walking the Ridgeway. Marylebone trains reach the Chilterns in under an hour.

Best for: river camping, pub walks, autumn colour.

The Kent and Sussex coast — 1h 30

Camber Sands, Dungeness, Rye, Hastings and the White Cliffs. The coast east of Brighton is quieter and stranger than the west, with dune camping at Camber and the otherworldly shingle of Dungeness. High-speed trains from St Pancras reach Folkestone in under an hour.

Best for: beach camping, Rye and Whitstable weekends.

The Norfolk Broads and coast — 2 hours

Push north-east and you reach the Broads — 125 miles of navigable waterways — and the North Norfolk coast around Wells, Holkham and Cromer, with enormous beaches and seal colonies. It's further but the campsites are excellent and the skies are dark.

Best for: paddling, wildlife, big empty beaches.

Getting there without a car

Camping by train is entirely realistic from London:

• Waterloo → Brockenhurst (New Forest) — 1h 30
• Waterloo → Guildford / Box Hill & Westhumble (Surrey Hills) — 45 min
• Victoria → Lewes / Eastbourne (South Downs) — 1h 10
• Marylebone → Great Missenden / Henley via Twyford (Chilterns) — 50 min
• St Pancras → Folkestone (Kent coast) — 55 min

Look for campsites within two miles of a station and pack light — a small tent, a mat, a bag and a stove fit easily in a rucksack. Our first-time camping checklist has the full kit list.

When to go

Everything within two hours of London is busiest on summer weekends. Friday-night arrivals after work are the trick — book a Friday-to-Sunday pitch, leave the city at five and be beside a fire by eight. May, June and September are the best months for weather and quiet; see when to go camping in the UK.

Search campsites by date to see what's free this weekend.

The non-negotiables

Tent, pegs, mallet. Check the tent before you leave — pitch it in the garden or the living room. Count the poles. Count the pegs. Then pack ten spare pegs and a rubber mallet, because British campsites have a way of being either rock-hard or bog-soft.

Sleeping bag rated for the season. A "3-season" bag covers most UK trips from April to October. If the label says "comfort" temperature, that's the number to trust, not the "extreme" one.

Sleeping mat. The ground steals more heat than the air. A basic foam or self-inflating mat makes the difference between a good night and a miserable one. This is the item first-timers most often skip, and most often regret.

Head torch. Not a phone torch. You'll want both hands free at the exact moment it gets dark.

Warm layers, even in August. A fleece, a hat and a pair of thick socks for the evening. UK summer nights regularly drop below 10°C.

Cooking and eating

• A single-burner gas stove and a spare canister
• One pan, one kettle or pot, a sharp knife, a chopping board
• Plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery — one set per person
• A cool box or bag with a couple of ice packs
• Washing-up liquid, a sponge, a tea towel
• Bin bags (you'll take all your rubbish home or to the site bins)
• Lighter and matches

Keep the first night's meal simple. Pasta, a jar of sauce and something to grate on top is the classic for a reason.

The five things beginners always forget

1. A mallet. See above.
2. A doormat or groundsheet for the porch. Keeps the tent clean and gives you somewhere to leave muddy boots.
3. Toilet roll. Campsite blocks run out, and you'll want your own for the walk there at 3am.
4. A power bank. Most sites offer charging, but not at your tent.
5. Camping chairs. Sitting on the grass is charming for about twenty minutes.

What to leave at home

You do not need a camping wardrobe, a folding table, fairy lights or a multi-room tent for a weekend. Two people, a two-to-three-person tent, a couple of chairs and a stove will fit in a normal car boot with room to spare. Buy the extras once you know you'll use them.

Booking your first pitch

Choose a site with good facilities for your first night: a proper shower block, a shop within reach and — ideally — a pub within walking distance. Look for flat, sheltered pitches and check the campsite's check-in time so you arrive with daylight to spare.

Not sure where to go? Start with our destination guides — the Lake District and the New Forest are both forgiving, well-equipped places to learn the ropes.

Scotland: yes, with responsibilities

Scotland's Land Reform Act 2003 gives everyone the right to camp on most unenclosed land, provided they follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. The key points:

• Camp in small numbers, for two or three nights at most in one place
• Stay away from buildings, roads and enclosed fields with crops or livestock
• Leave no trace: no fire scars, no litter, no toilet paper
• Take extra care with fires in dry conditions — and never light one on peat

The one big exception is Loch Lomond & the Trossachs, where seasonal byelaws (1 March to 30 September) restrict camping in the busiest lochside areas to permit zones and designated sites. The Scottish Highlands beyond the park are unaffected.

Note that the right to roam covers people on foot. It does not cover sleeping in campervans or motorhomes in lay-bys, which is why the North Coast 500 has such a strained relationship with van tourism. If you're on wheels, use a campsite.

England: no — except Dartmoor

In England there is no general right to wild camp. Camping on land without the owner's permission is trespass, a civil matter rather than a crime, but you can be asked to leave and landowners are within their rights to insist.

The exception is Dartmoor. After a lengthy legal battle that reached the Supreme Court in 2025, the right to backpack camp on designated areas of Dartmoor common land was confirmed. The rules are strict: tents only (no vans), one or two nights, small groups, out of sight of roads and houses, and nothing left behind. The National Park publishes a map of permitted areas.

Elsewhere, upland "stealth" camping — arriving late, leaving early, above the highest wall — is widely tolerated in places like the Lake District fells, but it is tolerated rather than permitted. If a farmer asks you to move, move.

Wales: no, but ask

Wales has the same legal position as England: you need the landowner's permission. In practice, many hill farmers in Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons will say yes to a polite request, sometimes for a few pounds. Knocking on the farmhouse door is not an outdated custom — it still works.

The wild camper's code (everywhere)

Whether the law is on your side or not, these habits keep the goodwill flowing:

1. Arrive late, leave early. A tent that's up for twelve hours bothers no one.
2. Pitch out of sight. Away from paths, roads, houses and other campers.
3. No fires. Use a stove. Fire scars last for years.
4. Carry out everything. Including food scraps and toilet paper.
5. Go to the toilet properly. At least 30 metres from water, dig a hole, cover it.
6. One night, one spot. Then move on.

When a campsite is the better choice

Wild camping is wonderful when you're fit, travelling light and the weather is kind. It is much less wonderful with a family, a car full of kit or three days of rain. Small farm campsites in the hills give you most of the solitude with a hot shower at the end of it — browse every destination to find one.

March and April: the early season

Most UK campsites open around Easter. Days are lengthening fast, prices are at their lowest and you'll have the pick of the pitches. The catch is the weather: frost is common, and you need a proper three-season sleeping bag and a tent that shrugs off wind.

Best for: walkers, couples, anyone with a campervan or pod. Dorset and Cornwall warm up first.

May: the sweet spot (part one)

May is arguably the finest month for camping in Britain. The bluebells are out, the evenings stretch past nine, the school holidays haven't started and the midges haven't woken up. Bank holiday weekends aside, sites are quiet.

Best for: everywhere, but especially Scotland and the Lake District before the crowds.

June: long days, warm nights

The longest days of the year mean you can walk until ten and still watch the sun go down over the tent. Sea temperatures are still cool, but the weather is often the most settled of the year. Midges start to appear in the Highlands from mid-month.

Best for: Snowdonia, the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales.

July and August: peak season

Warmest, busiest, most expensive. Coastal sites in Cornwall, Devon and Pembrokeshire book out months ahead for the school holidays, and popular Lake District valleys turn people away at the gate. It's still glorious — just book early and consider midweek arrivals.

Midges peak in the west of Scotland now. Choose breezy, coastal or elevated pitches, or head east to the Cairngorms.

Best for: families, beach camping in Pembrokeshire and Devon, swimming in warm(er) seas.

September: the sweet spot (part two)

Schools go back, prices drop, and the sea is at its warmest all year. September is the connoisseur's camping month: golden light, quiet sites, harvest-time pubs and still-long evenings in the first half.

Best for: Cornwall surf trips, Northumberland beaches, the Scottish Highlands once the midges fade.

October: colour and campfires

Autumn colour in the New Forest and Welsh valleys, dark skies for stargazing, and fire pits coming into their own. Many sites close at the end of the month. Pack for cold nights and short days.

Best for: pods, glamping, dark-sky camping in the Brecon Beacons.

November to February: the brave few

A handful of campsites stay open year-round, mostly those with hardstanding pitches and heated facilities aimed at campervans. Winter camping in a tent is a specialist pursuit; winter camping in a wood-fired pod is a genuine treat.

The short version

Whenever you go, check the campsite's opening dates and book ahead for weekends — browse destinations to get started.

Finding a dog-friendly campsite

The majority of Firecamp campsites accept dogs — you'll see the number of pets you can bring when you set your party size on the search. A few things to check on the listing:

• Pet fee. Usually £1–£5 per dog per night.
• Maximum number of dogs. Often two per pitch.
• Lambing restrictions. Working farms in Wales, the Dales and the Lakes may refuse dogs in March–May, or insist on leads everywhere.
• Dog walking area. Larger sites have a dedicated field; smaller ones open straight onto footpaths.
• Beach access. Many beaches restrict dogs between May and September. Check the local council's rules if beach walks are the point of the trip.

What to pack for your dog

• Food, plus a day extra, in a sealed container
• Collapsible water bowl and a couple of litres of water for the journey
• Long line or tether stake for the pitch
• Their own bed or blanket — familiar smells matter in a strange place
• Towel (a specific dog towel, not yours)
• Tick remover — hill and moorland ticks are common from spring to autumn
• Poo bags, more than you think
• A reflective collar or light for after dark
• Vaccination and microchip details, and the number of a vet near the site

In the tent

Dogs get cold on the ground just like people do. Bring a mat or thick blanket under their bed. If your dog is a nervous sleeper, a night in the tent in the garden before the trip helps enormously.

Keep the porch as the dog zone: muddy paws stay out of the sleeping area, and there's room for the water bowl. Never leave a dog alone in a tent on a warm day — it heats up like a car.

Campsite etiquette

1. Lead on, always. Most sites require it, and other campers' children, dogs and barbecues will thank you.
2. Clean up immediately. Nothing sours a campsite quicker.
3. Don't leave them alone at the pitch. Barking carries a long way in a quiet field.
4. Respect livestock. On farm sites, keep well away from sheep and cattle, and never let a dog into a field with animals.
5. Give other dogs space. Not every dog on site wants to be friends.

Best places to camp with a dog

• Northumberland — miles of empty beach, and far fewer summer dog bans than the south coast.
• The Peak District — moorland walks straight from the site, and dog-friendly pubs in every village.
• The Yorkshire Dales — riverside farm sites and endless footpaths (lead on around sheep).
• Scotland — the right to roam applies to dogs under close control, too.
• The New Forest — traffic-free tracks, though watch the ponies and keep dogs on leads near ground-nesting birds in spring.

Set your party to include your dog when you search for a campsite and you'll only see sites that will take them.

Great Langdale

The classic. The valley head sits beneath the Langdale Pikes, with Bowfell, Crinkle Crags and the Band rising straight from the campsite. It's the most popular place to camp in the Lakes for good reason: the walking is immediate and world-class, and there are two pubs within a mile.

Walk: the Langdale Pikes via Stickle Ghyll, or the long Crinkle Crags–Bowfell round.
Swim: Stickle Tarn, if you're brave.
Book: weeks ahead for any summer weekend.

Wasdale

The wildest of the western valleys. Wast Water is England's deepest lake, its screes plunge straight into the water, and Scafell Pike, Great Gable and Yewbarrow crowd the head of the dale. The drive in is long and slow — that's the point.

Walk: Scafell Pike, obviously, but Great Gable from Wasdale Head is the finer mountain.
Swim: Wast Water from the lakeshore road — cold, deep and unforgettable.
Know: phone signal is nearly non-existent.

Borrowdale

Green, wooded and gentle in the lower valley, wild at the top around Seathwaite (famously the wettest inhabited place in England). Keswick and Derwentwater are ten minutes away, which makes Borrowdale the best valley for families who want mountains and ice cream in the same day.

Walk: Castle Crag for an easy classic, Great Gable via Sty Head for a big day.
Swim: Derwentwater's southern shore.
Cycle: the lakeshore path to Keswick.

Ullswater

The most beautiful lake in England, according to Wordsworth and a great many campers. Sites along the eastern shore at Patterdale and Glenridding sit beneath Helvellyn; the western shore is quieter. The Ullswater Steamers let you walk one way and boat back.

Walk: Helvellyn via Striding Edge (not in high wind), or the gentler Place Fell.
Swim and paddle: almost anywhere along the shore — this is the paddleboarding lake.
Don't miss: Aira Force waterfall.

Coniston

Coniston Water is calmer and less crowded than Windermere, with the Old Man of Coniston looming over the village. Campsites on the western shore have direct lake access and a Swallows-and-Amazons feel.

Walk: the Old Man via Low Water, with the copper mines on the way.
Swim: the eastern shore near Brantwood.
Rain day: Ruskin's house at Brantwood.

Eskdale and the Duddon Valley

The quiet south-west. No lakes to speak of, but river pools, the Ravenglass & Eskdale narrow-gauge railway, and Hardknott Roman fort. Campsites here are small, friendly and rarely full even in August.

Walk: Harter Fell, or the low-level Eskdale river walk to Stanley Ghyll force.
Swim: the pools at Tongue Pot, Upper Eskdale — the Lake District's finest wild swim.

Practicalities

• Book ahead for Langdale, Wasdale and Borrowdale in season. Eskdale, Duddon and the eastern fells are easier.
• Midges exist but are far milder than Scotland's.
• Weather changes fast. Pack for four seasons regardless of the forecast.
• Fires are banned at most valley sites; fire pits off the ground are allowed at some.
• Cars can stay parked for days — buses (the 555 and 599) and lake steamers link most valleys.

Ready to go? Browse every campsite in the Lake District on Firecamp, or read our first-time camping checklist if it's your first trip.

Eryri (Snowdonia): mountains and lakes

The north of Wales is mountain country. Campsites in the Llanberis, Ogwen and Nant Gwynant valleys sit at the foot of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the Glyderau and Tryfan, and lakeside sites at Llyn Gwynant and Llyn Padarn double as paddleboarding and swimming bases.

Go for: hillwalking, scrambling, lake swimming, adventure sports at Zip World and Surf Snowdonia.
Best months: May–June and September.
Campsites in Snowdonia →

Pembrokeshire: the coast path

Britain's only coastal national park is a 186-mile ribbon of cliffs, coves and islands. Campsites sit above beaches at Newgale, Whitesands and Manorbier, and boat trips to Skomer's puffins leave from Martin's Haven. The north around St Davids is wild; the south around Tenby is family-beach heaven.

Go for: coastal walking, surfing, coasteering, wildlife.
Best months: June–September.
Campsites in Pembrokeshire →

Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons): dark skies

Under an hour from Cardiff and Bristol, the Beacons are the weekend escape for the whole of southern Britain. Pen y Fan draws the crowds, but the Black Mountains to the east and Waterfall Country to the west are quieter. Riverside sites on the Usk and Wye are perfect for paddling, and the whole park is an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Go for: stargazing, waterfalls, Pen y Fan, river camping.
Best months: April–October.
Campsites in the Brecon Beacons →

The Gower and Carmarthenshire: beaches within reach

The Gower was the UK's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has some of Britain's most photographed beaches — Rhossili, Three Cliffs, Oxwich. Campsites sit right behind the dunes. Further west, Carmarthenshire is quieter, with Pendine's seven-mile beach and the estuary country Dylan Thomas wrote about.

Go for: beach days, surfing at Llangennith, easy access from the M4.
Best months: June–September.
Campsites in Wales →

Mid-Wales and the Cambrian Mountains: the empty middle

Between the national parks lies the least-visited upland in Britain. The Elan Valley reservoirs, the Cambrian Mountains and the coast around Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay offer red kites, dolphins, empty roads and farm campsites where you might be the only tent.

Go for: solitude, wildlife, road trips, dolphins at New Quay.
Best months: May–September.

Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula: island time

Ynys Môn (Anglesey) is ringed by a coast path and blessed with sheltered, sandy beaches. Across the Menai Strait, the Llŷn Peninsula is Wales's Cornwall — surf at Hell's Mouth, sailing at Abersoch, and pilgrim paths to Bardsey Island.

Go for: family beaches, sailing, coastal walking with mountains behind.
Best months: June–September.

Choosing between them

• First trip to Wales? Snowdonia or Pembrokeshire. Both are spectacular and well served by campsites.
• Families with young children? The Gower, Anglesey or south Pembrokeshire for safe beaches.
• Walkers? Snowdonia for mountains, the Brecon Beacons for ridges and waterfalls.
• Want to be alone? Mid-Wales.
• Stargazing? The Brecon Beacons or Anglesey's Dark Sky Discovery Sites.

Whichever you choose, book ahead for summer weekends and pack for rain — the greenest country in Britain earns it. Start with every campsite in Wales on Firecamp.

Tent pitch

What you get: a patch of grass (or hardstanding), usually with access to a shower block. Electric hook-up is often available for a few pounds more.
Typical price: £10–£35 per night for two people.
Bring: everything — tent, bedding, cooking kit.
Best for: anyone who enjoys the process of camping itself. It's also the cheapest way to sleep in the most beautiful places in Britain.

Camping pod

What you get: a small, insulated wooden cabin, typically with a mattress, lighting and a plug socket. Some have heating. Most don't have a toilet or cooking facilities inside — you use the campsite block and cook outside.
Typical price: £40–£80 per night.
Bring: bedding (check — some supply it), cooking kit, torch.
Best for: early-season and autumn trips, walkers who don't want to carry a tent, anyone nervous about the weather. Pods are the sensible way to camp in Scotland in April.

Bell tent

What you get: a large canvas tent, usually pre-pitched, with proper beds or thick mattresses, rugs, lanterns and often a fire pit outside. Facilities are shared.
Typical price: £60–£120 per night.
Bring: bedding is usually supplied; check for cooking kit.
Best for: families and groups who want the campfire atmosphere without the pitching. Bell tents are the classic festival-style glamping option.

Shepherd's hut

What you get: a compact wooden hut on wheels with a proper bed, a wood-burner and — in the better ones — a kitchenette and en-suite loo and shower. Usually set apart from the main campsite.
Typical price: £80–£180 per night.
Bring: very little.
Best for: couples, winter breaks, anyone who wants cosiness and privacy. Huts in the Yorkshire Dales and Brecon Beacons come with dark skies for free.

Safari tent or lodge

What you get: a large canvas structure on a wooden deck with separate bedrooms, a full kitchen, a bathroom and often a hot tub. Effectively a holiday cottage made of canvas.
Typical price: £120–£300+ per night.
Bring: food and clothes.
Best for: multi-generational family holidays and people who want the outdoors with none of the compromises.

Which should you book?

Ask yourself three questions:

1. Do you enjoy the kit? If pitching and cooking outdoors is part of the fun, book a pitch. If it's a chore, upgrade.
2. What's the weather doing? March, April, October and November strongly favour a pod or hut.
3. Who's coming? Very young children, grandparents and reluctant partners all camp more happily with a solid roof.

There's no wrong answer, and plenty of campsites on Firecamp offer several options side by side — a pitch for the teenagers, a pod for the parents. Browse by destination and compare what's available.
