One of the most exciting things you can do outdoors has to be the freedom of experiencing real-life camping. Probably best if you do it fully equipped and not just chucking the duvet and some odds and ends in the back of the car. The more you invest in good gear, the better your camping experience will be for you and your family.
Another thing to take into consideration is your location. Preferably it’s advisable not to be too far away from home, in case of any eventualities which could result in you having to abandon your site. These could be hazards like rain, floods, extreme cold, the list can go on and on.
Best Price Cars Sales has researched the best camping locations near or around London. Here is a list of some of the best spots which could entice you and your family into doing something fun and exciting for your weekend breaks.
Wild Boar Wood
Wild Boar Wood is an Eco camp situated in the heart of Essex, about two hours away from London. The campsite is located in the middle of a five-acre woodland. This site is considered a start-up camping site. It comes fully equipped with private bell tents, fire pits, and even eco stoves. Because of its natural habitat, you can expect to hear only the wildlife and the occasional train which uses the historic Bluebell Railway.
Beech Estate Woodland Campsite
During the months of April to October, a very popular campsite is open for either “wild glamping” or “real camping” experiences. At Beech Estate, the options are either a bell tent or a pitch-your-own tent alternative. The actual campsite is spread across approximately 20 acres of land and is located on the edge of a 600-acre woodland, brimming full of wildlife. This area is perfect for mountain biking or just long walks to take in the fresh air and clean your lungs out from the city environment.
Lewes Campsite
If you are looking for a relaxing camping experience without having to worry about roughing it, there’s a lovely choice in Sussex, called Lewes Campsite. It offers hot showers, private bathrooms, and fire pits. You can also choose different levels of comfort, ranging from a traditional bell tent with log seating to a tree tent or a grid shell. But either option will still give you and your family a wonderful outdoor living experience.
Alde Garden
Just two hours outside in the village of Saxmundham, Alde Garden is a small retreat where you have the option to stay in either a yurt, bell tent, gypsy caravan, woodland hideout, or even experience living in a good old fashioned converted barn. This campsite also has bicycle rental facilities, so you don’t need to worry about getting out of the bike carrier. The jewel in the crown for this particular site is the on-site pub with its award-winning local ales. This site has something for everyone, it’s unusual, it’s quirky and it’s also considered romantic.
To get to all these locations, it’s best to rely on suitable transport which gives you the confidence of not only getting you there but also ensuring that you and your family arrive safely home.
