UK's most scenic camping spots have 'spectacular landscapes' and pretty beaches
Since the pandemic, there has been a significant increase in people embarking on camping holidays. And with staycations being significantly cheaper and easier than travelling abroad, choosing a camping spot may be the best option this summer.
Most people love a beach holiday in the tropics but it's not always the most affordable or realistic option.
While the UK weather may not be the most reliable, there really is nothing better than sleeping under the stars in some of the nation's most scenic and peaceful locations.
With this in mind, Caravan insurance experts at Quotezone.co.uk have named seven of the most scenic camping sites across the country to pitch up this summer.
Greg Wilson, CEO and price comparison expert at Quotezone.co.uk said: “Many families and couples will be looking to pitch up their tents and caravans this summer in some of the most stunning sites in the country in a bid for a stress-free breather.
“The UK countryside has so much to offer visitors - with spectacular landscapes, attractive beaches, colourful meadows and calming woodlands. Camping in some of the most peaceful spots will give holidaymakers the chance to relax, save money, sleep under the stars and avoid airport delays and security hassles that can come with holidaying abroad.”
