Cumbria is Renowned for its stunning natural scenery, the Lake District is a camper’s paradise. Pitch your tent amidst the rolling hills, peaceful lakes, and mountainous landscapes of this iconic national park. Let your pup run and play, then cosy up together at night on a plush Pet Bed. Popular camping spots include the shores of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, and the woodlands surrounding Buttermere. Be prepared for potentially wet weather, but you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views.
With its dramatic cliffsides, sandy beaches, and coastal trails, Pembrokeshire offers some of Wales’s most scenic camping. Stay right by the beach at campsites like Marloes Sands and Newgale, go “glamping” in a yurt, or pitch a tent inland at spots like Gallen Fort for easier access to the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Keep an eye out for wildlife like seals, porpoises, and puffins.
For a camping trip filled with forest tranquillity, head to the New Forest in southern England. This former royal hunting ground is one of the country’s most land-roving spaces, with ponies, cattle, pigs and deer wandering freely through the woods and heaths. Numerous campsites allow you to spend the night under the trees.
Immerse yourself in the wild, mountainous landscapes of the Scottish Highlands with a camping trip to Cairngorms National Park. This expansive park offers everything from grassy camping areas to remote wilderness for backpackers. Key camping areas include Rothiemurchus in Aviemore and the Cairngorm Mountain ski area. Spot wildlife like red squirrels, golden eagles, and red deer.
With its wide-open moorlands, ancient woodlands, and tall granite tors, Dartmoor feels like stepping into a fantasy world. Hike from your campsite to see Neolithic remains, 17th century churches, and filming locations for classic movies. Be sure to stow a waterproof Boot Liner to keep your car clean from muddy paws, boots and fishing gear after exploring. Camps like Holme Bush and Dartmoor Camping allow you to wake up surrounded by Dartmoor’s wild beauty.
If you are travelling the UK’s countryside in your camper, make sure you take your Camper Van Blinds with you to keep the heat in at night and block out the early morning sunrise, as beautiful as it is.
No matter which camping destination you choose, the UK’s national parks and countryside areas guarantee incredible scenery, fresh air, and a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle. Don’t forget to bring along CarMats-UK gear like plush portable Pet Beds and all-weather Boot Liners to make adventuring with your pup more comfortable and car-friendly. Grab your camping gear and head out for an adventure amid nature’s splendour.
