Nestled in the serene southwest English countryside, is a place called Devon. Famous for its sandy beaches and quaint towns. Devon also features in an extremely serious debate among the English about the correct way to put jam and cream on a scone, the Cornwall way, or the Devon way. Devon is my favorite place to camp in the UK, providing everything you need, from a good old English pub to some of the best ice creams outside of Italy!

As we find ourselves in 2021, we are all wanting to go somewhere new, but with travel abroad looking impossible, difficult, or risky for this summer, camping might be the answer! You can be near the beach, a town or in a forest, the choices are infinite and the prices are cheap. You can cook your own food around a campfire, or make the most of pubs and cafes opening up again. I have been camping with family and friends, and it really can suit everyone.

Over the years I have camped, not only in Devon but all over the UK, as well as abroad, read on for all my tips for camping in the UK this summer.
