What’s the most important element of a successful camping trip? Well, nothing is as important as choosing the right campsite.

It really is true what they say about destination, destination, destination... make the wrong decision and you could be looking at a holiday disaster.

That’s why you need to spend a bit of time on deciding where to stay, and the more information you have, the easier it is to make the right choice. The annual outandaboutlive.co.uk list of 100 top sites for camping is designed to help you do just that, whether you’re looking for a family-friendly holiday park, a couples’ site, somewhere to camp with your dog or a campsite where you can enjoy a pint. We've split the 100 into 10 categories to help you find the site you're looking for.

We handpicked the list this year with the help of our army of readers – and who better to give you a recommendation than a fellow camper? We’ve got sites from  the far north of Scotland to the southern tip of Cornwall, and all points in between. So take a look at our list and if you don’t see your own favourite on there, let us know. We’re always on the lookout for wonderful new places  to pitch our tents!
