If you're looking for the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of everyday life this month, we picked 5 Certificated Sites where you can really get away from it all.
Small, secluded and tucked away these sites all offer a little bit of heaven on earth.
The Club currently has around 1,400 of these member only sites across the country. If you've never camped on a CS before, enjoy our pick of 5 particlarly peaceful locations.
Retreat Farm, Little Baddow, Chelmsford, Essex
Retreat to this hideaway site overlooking the beautiful Chelmer Valley in Essex. Deep in the heart of the countryside, enjoy spectacular walks and cycle rides along the canal and through woodland. Unwind at the onsite Holistic Centre offering meditation, massage, yoga and tai chi. Workshops and special retreat weekends run frequently.
Treseissyllt Farm, St Nicholas, Fishguard, Pembrokeshire
Escape from the busy world and enjoy peace, beauty and tranquillity at this wild site with magnificent sea views towards St. Davids and Ramsey Island.

Rowlestone Court, Pontrilas, Abergavenny, Hereforshire
Pitch up at this lovingly restored working farm and enjoy wildflower meadows, a native-species garden, ancient semi-natural woodland, restored orchard and hedges. Round off your relaxing stay with an ice cream from the site's own ice cream parlour. There's also a cafe and a small shop.
Ty Mawr, Lyneal, Ellesmere, Shropshire
A gongoozler's delight, this site is located directly on the canal. While away your days soaking up the scenery as the canal boats glide by or explore the towpath that leads to numerous walks and cycle paths. Nature is encouraged here with wild orchids growing by the natural pond while a resident owl family (chicks included) can often be spotted among the trees.
Ivyleaf Cottage, Ivyleaf Hill, Bude, Cornwall
Enjoy this secluded rural location only three miles from Bude town, overlooking the valley and coast. Pitches are interspersed with hedges and trees to enhance guests privacy, though expect regular visits from wildlife including hawks, owls, pheasants, woodpeckers, rabbits and deer. The site promotes low impact living and embraces nature with rain-water harvesting, biomass heating, solar power generation, composting toilets, local food sourcing and recycling. A weekly hot chocolate evening and campfire encourages new friends and the chance to enjoy chilling out with nature.
