Campsite Facilities: What to Look For

A beautiful location is great, but the facilities available at a campsite can have a huge impact on how enjoyable your stay is.

Toilets and Showers

Clean, well-maintained toilets and showers can make camping much more comfortable, particularly when you're staying for several nights.

Electric Hook-Ups

If you use electrical equipment while camping, it's worth checking whether pitches have electric hook-ups and what connection is provided.

Pitches

The size, surface and layout of pitches can make a big difference. We'll look at whether pitches feel spacious, level and suitable for different types of camping.

Useful Extras

Small extras such as washing-up facilities, laundry areas, a shop, play areas or somewhere to eat can make a campsite considerably more convenient.

What Matters Most?

Everyone camps differently, so the facilities that matter most will depend on how you travel. We'll share what we look for when choosing somewhere to stay.
