Brightwater Farm Campsite

The Camping and Caravanning Club is the go-to for anyone who loves getting outdoors, whether you’re pitching a tent, parking up a caravan, or cruising in a motorhome. It’s not just about finding a place to sleep—it’s about being part of a massive community of half a million fellow campers, with access to hundreds of member-only sites, from full-facility Club Sites with all the mod cons to smaller, peaceful Certificated Sites that put you right in the heart of the countryside. Expect well-kept pitches, clean loos and showers, and often handy extras like laundry and Wi-Fi. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of green spaces, and a real emphasis on outdoor living and conservation—some sites even scoop awards for their eco-friendly efforts. You’ll find a mix of families, couples, and solo adventurers, all drawn by the promise of good value and a friendly vibe.

Once you’re settled, the local area is the real draw. There are miles of scenic walks, ranging from gentle rambles through ancient woodland to more challenging hikes with proper hilltop views. Fancy a bit more action? Many sites are close to cycling trails, fishing spots, or even water sports facilities. History buffs won’t be disappointed—castles, stately homes, and intriguing museums are often just a short drive away. If you’re after a lively day out, check out local markets, festivals, and foodie events that pop up throughout the year. For something a bit different, you might find yourself picking up ingredients for a campfire supper from a nearby farm shop or chatting with locals in a cosy pub. It’s the kind of experience that makes every trip memorable, just by stepping outside your tent or van.
