The Best Campsites Near London

Camping near London is one of life's many surprises. Beyond the big smoke of the city, it actually takes a surprisingly short amount of time before you can stumble across some of the UK's best campsites, hidden among woodland on the edge of London or tucked in the rolling hills of the green belt. Glamping sites are in abundance too, with glamping near London really taking off in recent years and a growing number of sites opening every summer. And it's all for good reason. Campsites near London offer city dwellers the chance to break from the hustle and bustle of urban life and head out to the countryside for the most direct access to nature a holiday can provide – sleeping in amongst it! The Cool Camping office is based in London, so we know, as well as anyone, just how important it can be to find a good campsite that's easily accessible from the capital. Whether it's driving to Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire or Buckinghamshire, or getting a train out to the South Downs, Surrey, Sussex or Kent, we're sure we'll have a campsite near London that's right for you.

Tent Camping Near London

While glamping sites have been grabbing the headlines in recent years, the counties around London aren't all about glitz and glamour. And when it comes to camping near London, there's nothing we love more than a traditional night under canvas. We've made our name searching out the very best campsites for tent campers and nothing has changed there. Shepherd's huts and treehouses are all well and good, but for a cheap night making the most of nature, you just can't beat unpacking the old tent, pushing pegs into the ground and setting up your very own shelter for the night. Around London there are loads of fantastic, small, independent campsites where the focus is not on commercial caravanning and tarmac pitches but on the humble tent camper. It's those kind of sites we love. Stripped back, simple, close to nature. If you're looking for a tent camping site you've come to the right place. Browse our favourite campsites near London below and use filters like "tent pitches" to find the place thats right for you.

Family Campsites Near London

It's no surprise to learn that families are often top of the list when it comes to weekend travellers taking a break from time in the city. Nature in the city is never quite on the doorstep and, if you want to get your kids into the great outdoors, there's no better idea then hopping on a train to Surrey or driving to Kent for a proper camping trip. For children growing up in the city, a camping holiday can be an incredible eye-opener. The chance to see the stars, discover England's native wildlife, light campfires and learn how to use them and cook with them safely. Plus, of course, there's the joy of having all that natural space – to run, jump, hide in and get covered in mud! Here at Cool Camping we love family camping holidays – we've got a best selling family camping guidebook to show for it – and we know as well as anyone how important it is to find the right kind of campsite for your kids. Browse our collection of campsites below and use filters like "good for kids" to find the facilities and activities that you require.
