Are you craving a peaceful vacationing experience in the UK? Well, then hiring a campervan to visit its secluded spots away from the urban dins, in the caress of nature’s abundance, is the best way to ensure this. Many stunning regions are ideal for ‘campervanning’, and I’ve included 5 of the best spots below.
BEST Campervan Trips to take in the UK
From Dartmoor in England to Brecon Beacons in Wales, here are 5 awesome campervan destinations perfect for people seeking peace and serenity. Now, let’s explore a few of them.
1. Dartmoor National Park
In England, this national park in Devon is well-known for its wild and rough landscape featuring open moorlands, gorgeous tors, and old woodlands. Campervan enthusiasts can opt for this place off the beaten roads to browse silent corners of endless beauty. You can install a camp under the night sky and look at the twinkling stars gazing down at you. However, Dartmoor’s mystique goes beyond this. You can visit its ancient landmarks and stone circles. There is also an Oakmoor Touring Park nearby. It’s dog-friendly, but only adults are allowed. Do you want to learn more about this park? Book your campervan. You can see Campstar.com for options.
2. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
Wales’s Pembrokeshire is an ideal spot for a campervan trip. It promises to make your days and nights happy with sandy beaches, high cliffs, and attractive villages. Many secluded spots are there in the national park. You can also choose the quieter coves along the coast for some soul-searching. However, ensure there is enough space for parking your campervan. In the morning, you will be welcomed by the crashing waves on the cliffs. You can find rich birdlife and marine life in this nature’s paradise. For a blissful experience, check out the campsite at West Angle Bay on the coast.
3. Brecon Beacons National Park
Another must-visit secluded place in Wales is Brecon Beacons National Park. The beauty of this region lies in its waterfalls, meandering hills, and woody valleys. Once here, you can instantly feel the excitement of an adventure trip. You can adore the Brecon Beacons’ night skies for spreading the layers of shimmering stars to lighten up your mood.
My suggestion in these parts is a compact eco-site called Dark Skies. The campsite can be the perfect hideout to witness the majestic charm of the Milky Way from close to the campfire.
4. Lake District
If it’s peace and tranquility you’re after, look no further than the stunningly beautiful Lake District in Northwest England. And you’ll likely find your ideal camp spot in its less popular valleys. Choose a calm lakeside or brookside camping ground to enjoy serenity induced by verdant green valleys and towering mountains. Some people put up at Holmrook’s Fisherground Campsite for its amenities and closeness to the pub.
5. Assynt
If you plan to drive your campervan through Scotland, you must head to the highlands of Assynt in the northwest. Known for its dramatic Quinag and Suilven peaks and pristine lakes. Whether you need solitude or silence, this place is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts as they can connect with nature without any disturbance. In fact, this is the ideal spot to get away from it all!
If you are lucky, you can also catch sights of golden eagles and red deer, among other local wildlife. You can find a suitable campsite in Ullapool to enjoy stunning backdrops and local whiskies.
