Our top-rated campsite
The Spinney Wild Camping
Scoring 10/10 from 32 reviews, The Spinney Wild Camping is unsurprisingly beautiful. What is surprising is that this site is purposefully no-frills and wild – a vibe that guests clearly appreciate. Another surprise is its location: East Yorkshire isn’t usually top of the list in terms of holiday hotspots, but that might change thanks to this hidden gem. Showered in praise for its friendly hosts, nature-friendly philosophy and clean compost loos, the site leaves customers keen to return, with 100% saying they would stay there again.
Runner up
Owl Valley Glamping
Scoring 10/10 from 22 reviews, this Devon site is a close second place. Located on a private nature reserve, 10 minutes from award-winning beaches, this site feels secluded and serene. When guests visit glamping sites, the expectations are often higher than when camping or touring, so it's even more impressive to see a glamping site achieve this consistently perfect score. Guests particularly love the cosy, clean and well-equipped accommodation, the helpful hosts and, of course, the wood-fired hot tubs.
