The best campsites in United Kingdom with hiking

·

If hiking is your thing, the United Kingdom serves up over 7,300 camping options where you can lace up your boots and hit the trail straight from your tent. You’ll find campsites tucked into the South Downs, scattered across the Peak District, and dotted through wild Welsh valleys. Prices start as low as £9 per night, with the average night costing around £85. Facilities like toilets, pet-friendly policies, and campfire spots are common, so you can expect the basics covered. Hikers rave about Chalky Downs (241 reviews) for its open skies and easy access to the South Downs Way, or pitch up at White Peak Camping (203 reviews) for limestone ridges and sheep-dotted meadows. For a quieter spot, Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite (185 reviews) puts you in the heart of Powys, surrounded by woodland trails and wildlife. Expect mud, stiles, and the occasional sheep; bring stout boots and a sense of adventure.

Trowbridge, England · 51 units · Tents, Motorhomes, Glamping
We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months. Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

Nestled beside the village of Painters Forstal, Faversham, Kent. Our two acre orchard site with grass pitches. The campsite lies within seventeen acres on the slope of The Kent Downs, a designated area of natural beauty. The Alma ale house at the edge of the farm serves Shepherds Neame and hot meals all year round. Two acre quiet cherry orchard site based around a Tudor Manor house 1547 that gives its name to our village. Surrounded by orchards and open countryside but within easy reach of Faversham, Whitstable and Canterbury. Pitches for tents, campervans, motorhomes and touring caravans with or without electric hook up on a level grassy site. Pets are welcome and a crew member is always around the reception or farm to help out. The Campsite is open from 1st march until 31st October. The local area is awash with things to do. Faversham once the busiest port in 17th century England for its wool trade has the longest complete medieval street in the country. A wealth of little shops, cafes and pubs as well as the country’s oldest family owned brewery Shepherd Neame. Whitstable sitting just along the coast, famed for its Oysters and Sunsets is a fun beachside community bustling in the summer months and hauntingly bleak in the winter ones. The World Heritage sites of Canterbury are just a fifteen minute trip away with all its well documented history and plentiful shops and eateries.
