If you’re looking for an affordable and fun summer holiday for 2023, then put camping in Wales at the top of your list!
Wales is a beautiful country offering everything you need for a family holiday.
We’ve got stunning coastlines, rugged mountains, picturesque countryside and plenty of activities to keep everyone amused.
And, at a time when many of us are feeling the pinch financially, camping is one of the most affordable ways to holiday. Even better, if you’re based in the UK then a holiday in Wales doesn’t involve expensive flights or hanging around at airports – another win!
So here are our top reasons why Camping in Wales is your number one family summer holiday option for 2023.
Affordable Accommodation
Camping in Wales is an affordable way to enjoy a summer holiday with your family. Whatever kind of camper you are, there will be campsites to suit your needs and your budget, with prices starting from as little as £15 a night.
We’ve got basic campsites which are little more than a field for those who already have all the equipment and like to go fully back to basics. There are also plenty of well-equipped sites with electric hook-up, shops, children’s play areas, places to eat and even swimming pools. Many sites are also dog-friendly so your four-legged friend can join in the fun!
If you don’t have all the gear, do not worry! There are plenty of sites in Wales offering ready-pitched tents. Or, if you fancy something a bit more luxurious why not give glamping a go?
However you choose to camp, you have a great opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the great outdoors without breaking the bank.
Stunning Scenery
We might be a little biased, but we don’t think you can beat the Welsh scenery! Wales is known for its beautiful scenery, and camping is the perfect way to experience it.
The country is packed with beautiful places to pitch your tent, including our three National Parks: Snowdonia (Eryri), the Brecon Beacons, and the Pembrokeshire Coast.
These parks offer breathtaking landscapes and plenty to keep you busy. Explore our many mountains, hills, woodlands, waterfalls, coastline and beaches. Choosing a camping holiday offers you the opportunity to wake up to stunning views and experience them first-hand.
Family-Friendly Activities
Camping is a brilliant way to keep all the family entertained. There are so many family-friendly activities to enjoy. Walking/hiking, cycling, fishing, climbing, and watersports to name just a few!
Wales is also packed with attractions. We have loads of castles, plenty of museums, and lots of all-weather activities – check out our previous posts for ideas.
If you’re looking for a more relaxed holiday, simply enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside.
Quality Family Time
Most of us live busy lives, dashing from place to place and trying to squeeze in work, family time, leisure activities and household chores.
Camping is second to none for spending quality time with your family without the distractions of technology and everyday life. Go back to basics and enjoy simple meals together, play board games, and explore the great outdoors.
Camping offers the perfect opportunity to disconnect from the world, ditch or limit the screens and reconnect with each other – and with nature.
A Sustainable Holiday
Camping is an eco-friendly way to enjoy a holiday. It’s a sustainable option that allows you to reduce your environmental impact. Choosing not to fly is a big environmental tick, and energy consumption when camping will be much lower than at home.
Not only do many campsites have recycling facilities but some even use renewable energy sources and have their own solar panels or wind turbine. Buying locally produced food is another easy choice to make on a camping holiday – many farms offer Milk Vending Machines, too!
Camping really is a great way to teach your children about sustainability and the importance of protecting the environment.
Lasting Memories
A camping holiday in Wales is an opportunity to create lasting memories for all your family. Whether it’s toasting marshmallows around the campfire, flying a kite on the beach or exploring the countryside, camping allows you to experience new things and create special moments. These memories will stay with you and your family for years to come – indeed forever.
