Prices start at £25 a night, with the average around £30. You’ll find campsites tucked behind dunes, steps from the sea, and close to scenic coastal paths.

Today the fortifications and countless castles are peaceful and the expanses of countryside they stand in are perfect for mountain biking, walking, cycling and, of course, camping. Kielder Forest Park and Northumberland National Park compete with the staggeringly beautiful heritage coast for visitors’ attention. Each offers plenty to see and do along with camping and glamping sites which embrace the scenic surroundings. We’ve hand-picked the very best of them for the Hipcamp collection.
