? Respective Campsites
It's that time again – the few months of the year when the sun is fairly consistent. So dust off that two-man dome, pack up your gas stove and blow-up bed, and head to one of the UK's best campgrounds. Want a sea view? Fancy a hike in the woods? Not sure where to go? Our expert has done the legwork for you. Here is WideWorld's pick.

Spoil your inner foodie at Abbey Home Farm where the eco-conscious organic shop offers up farm-reared meats, home-pasteurised milk and veg from the garden. Up to five people can stay in the individual yurt and there's a private campfire tucked away in a secret woodland glade. Alternatively, gather the troops and take over the four yurt eco-camp with scenic views and its own private (though basic) compost loo.

Cradley, Malvern, Herefordshire, Telephone 01420 80804
More a glamper than a camper? This small chain of boutique campsites has an outpost on the Duchy Estate in the verdant Malvern Hills with its very own field spa. Enjoy the hot and cold showers, sauna and vast hot tub before smoking your own chicken or fish, tent-side, for supper with a side order of local scrumpy. The facilities are top-notch too: the spacious tents feature comfortable mattresses, running water (though cold) and flushing toilets – camping nirvana. Open April to October.
