It’s been widely reported in the media that campsites around the country are full this August but pitches are still available and in scenic settings.

The Club’s Director of Marketing and Insight, Nicola Simpson, said: “Contrary to popular belief, there is still availability on campsites this August. Of course, camping spots by the coast or in sought-after tourist locations will always be in demand but that is certainly not unique to this year.
“There is still plenty of campsite availability around the UK – people just need to think about places away from the obvious tourist honey pots and go in search of lesser-known but equally lovely locations. Why not be adventurous and head off the beaten track to explore somewhere new this year?”

Being a member of the Club also offers access to its network of Certificated Sites – more than 1,300 smaller more unique sites that are often on farms or more secluded locations and offer some really wonderful camping.

The Club has pulled together its ‘super six’ list of Club Sites in locations around the UK where there is still availability for August – and there are more sites like them:

Alton, The Star Club Site in Staffordshire: On the doorstep of the Peak District National Park with lovely countryside walks nearby, and with easy access to the famous Alton Towers theme park.

Sandringham Club Site in Norfolk: A woodland campsite located on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate and an easy drive from the north Norfolk coast.

Tarland by Deesde in Aberdeenshire: Located in a tranquil spot just outside the Cairngorms National Park and sharing the same scenery as Balmoral Castle. 

Hertford in Hertfordshire: A spacious campsite with secluded pitches located on the outskirts of the attractive market town of the same name and surrounded by rolling countryside. 

Salisbury in Wiltshire: This campsite has views of an Iron Age hill fort, while the city, home to the famous Magna Carta royal charter document, is a 1.5-mile riverside walk away. 

Bala in Gwynedd: A Club Site just outside Snowdonia National Park, six miles north of the lake from which it takes its name, and within easy distance of the attractions of North Wales. 

The Club has launched a late availability function on its website designed to help people find their perfect pitch at short notice, whether that’s because they are conscious of travel plans in the current situation or are simply keeping an eye on the weather.

Nicola added: “We believe our campsite network offers fantastic access to fresh air and the countryside, it’s been great to welcome both old and new campers back on to our campsites and fantastic to see people enjoying their holidays.”
