Campsites You Must Visit This Year

Some pitches earn their reputation the honest way: guests who keep coming back and telling their friends. Every January our rangers argue it out and produce this list: the grounds we'd drive to ourselves this year.

Lakeside Row for the views

Campsite #1 remains unbeatable for sheer spectacle — full-hookup pitches facing the water, sunset swims from the beach gate, and morning coffee with the mist. Book a Friday; stay through Monday.

The meadow for first-timers

Never camped before? Campsite #2 is the gentle introduction: level grass, hot washhouse forty metres away, and a crew that will pitch your tent with you if the poles win the first round.

Forest Edge for the night sky

Our dark-sky readings keep improving, and Campsite #4 sits right under the best of it. Time your trip for a new moon, join Friday's telescope session, and thank us later.

Plan it now

School-holiday weekends go first — usually by March. Shoulder-season midweeks are the insider pick: same stars, half the neighbours, lower rates.
