Devon
With a captivating combination of beautiful meadows with calming natural springs and woodlands, and coastlines on both sides of the county, Devon has much to offer outdoor lovers.
One of the highlights of any trip to this region of southwest England is the famous Tarka Trail, which follows the route of the otter in the beloved children’s books.
Pitch up at Tarka Trail Camping on the outskirts of Barnstaple to enjoy this family-friendly experience.
Norfolk
It’s often been said that there’s nothing better than messing around in boats and Norfolk offers plenty of opportunity to do just that.
Whether you’re heading to the sea at beaches like Cromer and Sheringham or exploring the Norfolk Broads, a caravan holiday based around the water makes the most of everything this part of the country has to offer.
Stay at Reedham Ferry Touring and Camping Park in the heart of the Norfolk Broads.
Lake District
The Lake District is synonymous with hiking, giving caravan and motorhome owners a huge selection of walks to enjoy once they’ve set up camp.
Options include scaling some of the area’s peaks like Catbells and Helvellyn or completing circular walks around Buttermere or Derwentwater, taking full advantage of the region’s namesake lakes.
The Camping and Caravanning Club’s Derwentwater site is handy for a number of local attractions.
Argyll and Bute
Heading north into Scotland, Argyll and Bute encompasses part of the west coast, as well as a number of islands, offering plenty of caravan or motorhome exploration.
Castles, lochs and wildlife including red deer all add to the charm of the area, where walking, cycling and fishing are all likely to be on the itinerary.
You won’t find a better location to pitch up than on the shores of Loch Fyne at the Argyll Caravan Park.
