A quick guide to this summer's best UK camping destinations

Article Written By: bythesea

What better way to celebrate summer, than packing up the tent and sleeping bags for a UK camping holiday? There are plenty of campsites dotted around, of course, but if you're after something particularly relaxing and memorable then you could do a lot worse than the following options:

Islay, Hebrides

If you're a seasoned camper and after something a little different, then a bushcraft course at Islay could be right up your street. Don't bother bringing your tent or the traditional tins of beans; visitors go foraging for wild food by day bed down in a cave by night. As you make your way across the coast looking for firewood and sustinence, you'll also learn all there is to know about the local flora and fauna. This is one for real nature lovers.

Broad Meadow House, Cornwall

Situated above the Charlestown harbour and offering truly spectacular sea views, this campsite is ideal for any ocean lover. Add to that the fact that a maximum of 12 capers are allowed on-site at any one time and you've got a recipe that adds up to an incredibly relaxed atmosphere. There's not even any need to bring your own accommodation; if you want to travel extra-light then you can book one of the site's three deluxe tents.

Brighouse Bay, Dumfries and Galloway

It is perfect for those parents who are worried that their children will quickly become disillusioned with a camping trip. With a swimming pool, playground, games room and ten-pin bowling on offer along with plenty more, there's no lack of amusement on hand for easily-bored kids. The great local walks and picturesque sea views will ensure that mum and dad are entertained, too.

Hillend, Swansea

This Llangennith campsite offers something for everyone. Large, sprawling beaches are contrasted by forts and churches - all within walking distance. Again facilities are relatively basic but with a huge variety of splendid sights to see then this is a perfect family destination - nearby rock-climbing and pony trekking will keep energetic kids amused. That's not to say that there's nothing for adults to enjoy, however; the King's Head pub is a popular haunt for parched campers.

Turner Hill Farm, Cumbria

Situated in one of the Lake District's most admired areas - the Duddon Valley - this idyllic site offers the outdoor type everything they could possibly want. While the facilities won't match up to some of the more commercial sites in the UK, what Turner Hill Farm offers in scenery more than makes up for it. Bring your walking boots.
