The Great British seaside is the perfect backdrop for many people’s staycations. There’s nothing like fish and chips by the sea, the salty air, and the abundance of nature.
Not all seaside towns are equal, though, so this post will take a look at a few places that should be on your shortlist for a coastal camping holiday. If you’re considering a road trip in your campervan, don’t forget to arrange campervan insurance for peace of mind.
Cornwall
With more than 120 campsites, there’s so much choice in Cornwall. You’ve got grassy farmlands and beautiful beaches, including options to go wild camping underneath the stars. Great choices include Bodmin Moor, Trevaylor Caravan & Camping Park, and Trevella Park. Things to do include surfing, a trip to the Looe Island Nature Reserve, and a journey to Land’s End – plenty to keep you entertained on your trip.
Whitby
Whitby is the classic seaside town located in Yorkshire and known to be the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”, which makes it a great destination for literary and/or horror enthusiasts. Known for its dramatic coastline, ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey, and renowned battered cod and chips, Whitby has something for everyone. It has an excellent selection of campsites, just be sure to bring a windbreaker so you’re not left vulnerable to the weather.
Suffolk
The Suffolk coastline is mostly designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so you can be sure it is a great destination for a campervan holiday. It has a sort of Victorian charm, particularly the towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh, allowing you to enjoy both history and nature on your trip, with lots to see and do. Campsites on the coast worth looking at are Cliff House Holiday Park and Beach View Holiday Park.
Dorset
Dorset is suitable for those needing a break without also breaking their budget, as it can be a more affordable option compared to other places on this list. There are also luxury and glamping options if you want a more comfortable and upmarket experience. The Jurassic coastline is home to Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and the chalk-white cliffs of Old Harry Rocks, so you have several places to explore on your daily adventures.
There are many fantastic places around the UK coastline for a memorable camping holiday, which can make it hard to choose. The above are the pick of the lot and all places that will allow you to get out into nature, enjoy the fresh sea air, and explore charming coastal villages and towns.
