If you&#8217;re visiting the UK, there are few more inspiring and fulfilling travel experiences than throwing a sleeping bag in your rucksack and stepping out into the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you love to rough it or you&#8217;re more of a &#8216;glamping&#8217; (glamorous camping) type, there&#8217;s a stunning pitch with your name on it somewhere. Let&#8217;s take a look at some fantastic places to camp in Britain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penzance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1725 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance.jpg\" alt=\"Penzance coastline \" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/penzance-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coasts of Devon and <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/top-things-to-do-in-cornwall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cornwall<\/a> are renowned for their beauty and are perfect for the comfortable, family-oriented camping experience. Penzance is especially replete with excellent campsites that feature hot showers and all the mod cons. Walk a few minutes out of the site, and you have some of Britain&#8217;s most beautiful beaches right on your door or tent flap-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brecon Beacons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wales has no shortage of beautiful scenery. However, the Brecon Beacons are ideal if you&#8217;re looking for a spot that&#8217;s not too far away from London and only a stone&#8217;s throw back to civilization. The rolling hillsides and winding valleys hide some of the country&#8217;s most beautiful camping retreats. And, because the Beacons are a national park, your sites will always be top-notch. Throw on your hiking boots and lose yourself in this vast green expanse.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/jake-sloop-276546-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"a camping tent in a field at sunset\" class=\"wp-image-1724\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New forest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever dreamt about waking up in a tent surrounded by wild ponies, the New Forest is definitely your camping spot. As the closest spot to London on our list, it&#8217;s extremely easy to get to and has everything you need for a family-friendly adventure. The Forest has many exciting activities, including kayaking, bike riding, and even sailing, so you&#8217;ll never get bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glen Nevis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for an authentic wilderness camping experience, Scotland is the place to be. The law in Scotland means that you can walk pretty much anywhere and pitch up on any unenclosed land, meaning the countryside is ripe for true camping adventures. The Glen Nevis region, home to Scotland&#8217;s tallest mountain, encapsulates this ideal with spectacular highland views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Isle of Jura<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Isle of Jura, situated amongst Scotland&#8217;s Inner Hebrides, is for seasoned explorers only. If you know how to navigate its vast, unspoiled wilderness without access to amenities, you&#8217;ll be treated to some of the most stunning camping experiences the UK offers. With only one small settlement and a ferry to the island once a day, it&#8217;s the perfect place to escape it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To discover more ways to explore the British countryside, take a look at our range of fantastic <a href=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/tours\/day-tours-from-london\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=best-places-to-camp-uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">day tours from London<\/a>.
