1) The Lake Campsite, Bodmin Moor

This ingeniously converted shipping container in the heart of Cornwall’s Bodmin Moor is reached via. a heather flanked track. Campsites don’t get more remote than this.

Army survival courses occasionally take place on the landscapes stark expanse and an old quarry now forms an epic lakeside setting.

2) Cleadale Campsite, Isle of Eigg

Eigg is one of the smallest islands in the Inner Hebrides in Scotland – just five and a half miles long and three miles wide.

At the bottom of a vast and curving cliff, Cleadale Campsite sits in its own natural amphitheatre.

The campsite itself is as wild as its setting. The pitches aren’t the flattest and the dishwashing sink is outdoors but if you’re looking to get away, this is the one.

5) Scourie Campsite, Sutherland

Scourie is a tiny hamlet clustered around an inlet on the extreme north-west coast of Scotland.

The landscape here may be stark and sparse but the campsite is a little oasis of green.

Caravans and motorhomes are largely confined to the areas around the amenities block, so tents have the run of the terraced pitches that extend down almost to the shores of the bay. Beware of midges though.
