Staying in a camper van is not strictly speaking camping, but it’s closely related and doubtless still very popular among many of you. A lot of people who would camp in this country are keen to have a bit more comfort when they’re on a big holiday abroad and it makes sense to hire a camper van in Canada and New Zealand and places, where you’ll be travelling a lot and will need a bed each night.

But while camper vans offer an easier experience - you can pack up and go far quicker than with a tent - there are other things to consider. When you buy or hire a camper van, you will typically carry a lot more stuff with you. The van itself is also worth a lot of money and it may contain all manner of modern conveniences, from microwaves to TVs and DVD players.

With that in mind, it’s vital that you get good camper van insurance. This will protect you in the even of an accident, but it should also cover your belongings and the van’s contents. Even if nothing does happen, at least it gives you the peace of mind of knowing that you’re properly protected and won’t suffer financial loss if the worst does happen.

We are back to basics for our last campsite in this series of five articles. And once again it is the National Trust that serves up a treat. For all of you that like fell walking and climbing the last campsite we are going to feature is Great Langdale Campsite in the Langdale valley.

If you fancy bagging the eponymous Langdale pikes or the highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike, this is the perfect camping spot. You don’t have to book to be assured of a place but during the summer months booking is advisable.

This site completes our list, so if you are in the mood for a little outdoor activity this summer, you could do a lot worse than following our recommendations.

If you read our last article about camping pods but fancy a little more luxury why not try a camping Yurt.
