Best places for camping

[Laurasanford789]

Hello

Can anyone recommend a place for camping, scenic walks, villages, shops, boat trips, etc I love the lake District but can't make it there this year and want somewhere else closer to do some camping with kids 5&3
Will be in summer holiday

Thank you

We are in swanley Kent so anywhere about a 2 hour drive max from there would be ideal

I love the witterings (might be a bit further than 2 hours from you) and the area around Christchurch. Lots of lovely beaches and nice sites.

I also love West Mersea and that area, but I don’t know about campsites there: bit closer to you though.

Park Farm in Sussex is a lovely site on the banks of a river and waking distance from Bodiam Castle (about 25 mins walk following the river). The farm has some nice walking trails. It’s a very family- friendly site, with a decent play area, snack shop and it allows campfires.

Used to camp Hytye way as a kid. More recently I’ve camped in Norfolk

Nethergong camp site in Kent. Brilliant for kids! Great facilities, camp shop and cafe, frog pond..

Thank you all so much for your recommendations, going to look at all these now!
