Whether it’s a peaceful couples’ retreat, a fun family-friendly getaway or a wild and wonderful adventure you’re after, check out Pitchup.com’s top picks – all with availability during a time of the year known for its spring blooms, longer daylight hours and warmer weather:

Best for wild exploration and affordability: Dagger Wood Campsite, Bristol

An outdoor adventure waiting to happen, this affordable dog-friendly retreat – set in Clutton’s lush farmland and leafy surrounds – not only offers firepit gatherings and BBQs, but also allows guests to indulge in outdoor pursuits like wild food foraging, fitness bootcamps (extra fees apply), and clay pigeon shooting. Visitors can also browse the on-site bookshop housed in a Glastonbury-rescued caravan, offering all books for £2 or under. And for those keen to explore further afield, you’ll find a cosy pub just a 10-minute stroll away, and Bristol and Bath just 30 minutes away. While amenities are basic, the site’s friendly father-son team ensures a comfy stay at a price you can’t say no to.
