England attracts holidaymakers with its lush green landscapes, beautiful beaches and exciting cities. Camping holidaymakers will find a variety of well-equipped campsites to suit every taste in this diverse country on the British Isles.

Special features of camping in England

Holidaymakers will find numerous larger and smaller campsites in England. Many of them are located near the coast, for example in southern Cornwall. Motorhome-only caravan parks are rather rare. Many of the campsites belong to one of the two camping clubs, The Caravan Club or The Camping and Caravanning Club. There are also so-called farm campsites, rural farms that offer a few pitches and often serve tasty treats in the farm café.

England is also the destination for many campers who have planned a round trip with a motorhome in Great Britain. Northern Ireland and Scotland with the impressive Loch Lomond are certainly part of this tour. Most campsites are extremely pet-friendly and have modern sanitary facilities and playgrounds. Travellers without a motorhome or tent can alternatively opt for a mobile home on the campsites. Permanent campers can be found on the sites, especially in the south of England in the high season.

Campsites in England

To discover the country in all its beauty, a round trip is worthwhile. Whether you are travelling by motorhome or tent, there are a number of beautiful campsites. Particularly popular are those directly on the exciting coast, whose pitches offer a view of the sea. Alternatively, you can opt for a mobile home with a bedroom, which can be booked on several campsites. Pets are welcome guests on most sites, as Polmanter Tourist Park - one of the best-known campsites in Cornwall - proves. Covering around 3.5 hectares, it has beautifully situated pitches on the coast, sea access and an indoor swimming pool.

Travelling to England

There are various options for travelling to England by motorhome: There is a direct connection via the Eurotunnel. The 50 km long railway tunnel connects the French town of Coquelles near Calais with Folkstone in the English province of Kent. The route is the longest underwater tunnel in the world. Tickets for the Eurotunnel can be pre-booked or purchased directly at the terminals in Calais and Folkestone. To get to Calais, drivers are best advised to take the A3 and E40 motorways. There are also ferry connections to England, for example between Calais and Dunkirk to Dover. The crossing takes two hours. If you are travelling to the north of England, you can take the overnight ferry from Amsterdam to Newcastle in around 16 hours. The journey can then continue to Scotland or Northern Ireland. Important: Left-hand traffic must be observed on the entire island.

Destinations in England

Whether it's a city break in the bustling capital London, a visit to the former industrial cities of Liverpool and Manchester, a hiking holiday through the Lake District or a romantic camping trip on the cliffs in the south of the UK - there's something for everyone in England.

London

The British capital inspires with its metropolitan flair, renowned museums and extensive parks. One of London's landmarks is the Big Ben clock tower at the Houses of Parliament. Equally famous are Tower Bridge, which spans the Thames, and Buckingham Palace, the residence of the monarchs. A visit to the Royal Palace is particularly worthwhile at lunchtime, when the daily changing of the guard takes place. Also worth seeing are the Piccadilly Circus intersection with its colourful neon signs in the West End and Hyde Park, which is considered the green lung of the metropolis.

Cornwall

If you are looking for charming landscapes, cosy fishing villages and paradisiacal beaches on your camping holiday in England, you should travel to Cornwall. The southern English county enchants its visitors with idyllic nature, which has already served as the backdrop for several Rosamunde Pilcher films.

The small town of St Ives is very charming. The small town in the north of the Penzance Peninsula is very popular with artists, which is why the streets here are lined with small studios and art shops. The water is often a shimmering turquoise blue and the beaches, such as Porthmeor Beach, attract surfers from all over the world.

Top 5 sights

  • Windsor Castle: Located in the county of Berkshire, the castle with its magnificent grounds belongs to the royal family and has been continuously inhabited for over 900 years.
  • Stonehenge: The megalithic monument in the southern English county of Wiltshire fascinates visitors with its impressive stone circles.
  • London Eye: At a height of 135 metres, the London Eye in the capital is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe.
  • Eden Project: The Eden Project is a botanical garden with the world's largest indoor rainforest growing under its huge glass domes.
  • Durham Cathedral: The mighty cathedral dating back to 1093 served as the backdrop for the Hogwarts wizarding castle in the Harry Potter films.

Top 2 insider tips

  • Lake District: With its lakes, waterfalls, cliffs, mountains and valleys, this British national park in the north of England is sure to make nature lovers' hearts beat faster. Shaped by the Ice Age, the landscape is an Eldorado for hiking enthusiasts and is home to numerous sheep.
  • Isle of Wight: Thanks to the Gulf Stream, this small island in the English Channel enjoys warm temperatures, so much so that palm trees even grow here. Sun-kissed, evergreen meadows, chalk cliffs and thatched farmhouses characterise the island's landscape.

Activities and excursions

England offers a wide range of opportunities to be active on holiday and go on exciting excursions.

World-class golf courses

Golf is a real national sport in the UK. Holidaymakers in England will find around 1,500 excellent golf courses where they can swing a club and improve their handicap. Royal St George's in Kent in the south of England is considered one of the most beautiful and most difficult golf courses in the world. It is nestled in the sand dunes and was designed in the style of an English garden.

The Royal Lytham & St Annes course in Lancashire is also first class. It offers very fast greens and boasts a wonderful Victorian clubhouse that is over 130 years old.

Ideal conditions for surfing

Due to its many kilometres of coastline, England is predestined for water sports. Cornwall is particularly popular with surfers. Water sports enthusiasts can expect a constant swell here, even in the summer months. However, the best seasons for surfing are spring and autumn.

The beach at Porthcurno with its palm trees and shimmering turquoise water is a dream come true. With a bit of luck, you can even spot sea lions here.

Potatoes are generally one of the most important ingredients in English cuisine, including baked potatoes. The British breakfast, which usually includes eggs, sausages, fried bacon and porridge, is also world-famous.

Weather

England is located in the temperate zone and is characterised by a humid oceanic climate due to Atlantic influences. Summers are moderately warm, while winters are cool. In general, the weather is very changeable and there is plenty of rainfall all year round. It is warmest in the south-west of England, where temperatures rarely fall below eight degrees Celsius even in the winter months and it rains significantly less.

The summer months of June to September are considered the best time to go camping in England. Daytime temperatures are often around 25 degrees Celsius. During this period, numerous activities can be undertaken in the fresh air and you can even swim in the sea. The water in the English Channel reaches 18 to 19 degrees in August.
