Wales
With three national parks, hundreds of sandy beaches, rugged landscapes, ancient castles and a host of delightful towns, cities and villages, Wales is a fantastic camping destination. Easy to reach from most regions of England, Wales has its own identity, language, history and heritage. A camping staycation in Wales has all the allure of a foreign destination, but without the hassle and the price tag!
What to expect when camping in Wales
The coastline around Wales is particularly attractive for family camping holidays with dozens of Blue Flag sandy beaches that rarely feel crowded. Caravan parks and glamping sites offer breathtaking rural or sea views from your own private deck with hot tub, if you’re lucky! Well-appointed campsites offer flat sites for tents along with modern facilities and play areas for kids. Serviced pitches for caravans and campervans can be found throughout North Wales, West Wales and along the south coast of this beautiful country.
Further inland in Wales, campers and outdoor enthusiasts can explore the peaks and forests of Snowdonia or the challenging terrain of the Brecon Beacons National Park. You may prefer a camping break along the Pembrokeshire Coast, another national park brimming with unspoilt natural beauty, wildlife and outdoor adventures.
Historic castles
History buffs planning a weekend break or a longer stay in Wales will find history on the doorstep of their chosen campsite or caravan park. Caernarfon Castle is one of the most visited attractions in Wales, along with Cardiff Castle, Pembroke Castle, Harlech Castle and Conwy Castle.
Historic archaeological sites, national museums, heritage railways and National Trust houses preserve Welsh history along with the Big Pit National Coal Museum and UNESCO Ironworks at Blaenavon.
Wales - the natural choice for camping
The walled town of Tenby makes a great base for a glamping staycation in Wales. You can take a boat trip to Caldey island to see the working monastery and lighthouse on this unspoilt island.
Caravan parks and glamping accommodation near St David's put you within easy reach of the magnificent cathedral and shops in Britain’s smallest city. Walk the coast path and enjoy the pristine sandy beaches that this area is known for. Nature lovers will enjoy a trip to Skomer Island to see puffins while campers overlooking Cardigan Bay may spot seals and dolphins from their camping base. With so much to see and do, Wales camping, caravan and glamping holidays are hard to beat.
