Into the wild: hidden campsites to explore this summer

  • From Spectator Life

We all know it’s going to be another bumper year for the UK’s tourism sector. With confidence in international travel still not yet fully in-place, and staycation options booked out, camping is a fantastic alternative, giving you the flexibility to follow the weather and families the ability to meet again in a socially distant way with the backdrop of some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes.

We’ve put together this list of some of the best campsites in the UK to book this summer, with a focus on wild spaces and access to coast paths and hill walks.

Here are eight recommendations for the best campsites to book this summer.

Upper Booth campsite sits on the Pennine Way in this stunning part of the Peak District National Park, at that blissful of camping locations, at the end of a narrow, winding lane. Spread across a couple of fields, there’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the stunning vistas of the nearby High Peak moors.
