Camping and survival are unique ways to experience the outdoors – from family trips in the Lake District, to bushcraft courses in Snowdonia, to glamping in the Scottish Highlands. In this category you’ll find listings for campsites, survival courses and outdoor adventures. A space for families, outdoor enthusiasts and professional organisers alike.
Family camping trips
Campsites across England and Wales offer facilities for families – fire pits, playgrounds, clean facilities and easy access to walking and cycling trails. A weekend camping trip in the Lake District or along the South Coast is a simple way to relax with loved ones and enjoy nature.
Tip: The most popular family campsites offer extras like play areas, small shops and safe walking routes for children.
Survival and bushcraft courses
Courses in Snowdonia or the Yorkshire Dales go beyond camping – they teach fire making, shelter building, navigation and basic survival skills. Perfect for adventure seekers and corporate team-building groups.
Tip: For a survival course, bring only the essentials – instructors will guide you through the rest in the field.
Glamping and alternative stays
For those who prefer comfort, glamping options include luxury tents, treehouses and campervans. From the Highlands to coastal England, these listings combine the beauty of nature with hotel-like comfort.
