  • Pick a route, pack your boots and get some miles underfoot with our guide to some of the best long-distance walking trails you can do while camping in the UK – or, to find shorter day walks and trails around the UK, take a look at our carefully curated regional camping guides. 

  • If you’d rather take your camping trips on the open road, you could cover even greater distances from the comfort of your own car, motorhome or campervan with our run-down of some of the best camping road trips in the UK. 

If any of these adventures take you outside of the UK, Pitchup has sites with real-time availability in dozens of countries around the world to find the perfect place to stay.
