Waterside campsites
If you're bringing a boat, keen for some canoeing or just looking for tranquil views and a lovely setting, these lakeside campsites are just the ticket. Campsites near water are often teeming with wildlife and birds to spot and you can head to the shores at sunset to watch the sky light up and skim stones into the pretty canal, river or lake. See if our tempting selection of waterside campsites can really float your boat!
