In a country which prides itself on diversity and tolerance, there's no shortage of gay-friendly camping options here in the UK. From up-market luxury camping in Wales to stripped back privacy in Norfolk, here is an introduction to eight of the finest gay-friendly caravan parks on home soil.
1. Abbotts Farm Campsite, Norfolk
This site, just 11 miles from Norwich, is an adult only camp and naturist facility. Sat adjacent to a farm, the site offers unrivalled rural tranquillity whilst nearby Norwich boasts plenty of gay-friendly attractions and venues. This include The Loft, a gay nightclub which has been established for more than 30 years, and the incredibly popular gay pub the Lounge Cafe Wine Bar.
2. Out in the Open, Cornwall
For those looking for a quiet, gay-friendly retreat there's no need to look any further than the Out in the Open campsite in Cornwall. Nestled away at the end of a track, the site offers spectacular views and is perfectly positioned to provide an ideal base for exploration of both the north and south coasts.
Nearby gay-friendly attractions include Stithians Lake where a range of water-sports can be enjoyed. The local pub situated alongside the lake is more than welcoming to gay patrons and sporting activities cater to all abilities.
3. Low Wray National Trust Campsite, Ambleside
Low Wray is situated upon Lake Windermere, England's largest lake, and promises a host of spectacular walks around its perimeter. Once again, this site offers a variety of water-sports which are perfect for adventurous types. As you'd expect, the site can also provide plenty of information on all the local National Trust attractions in the area.
There are plenty of clubs and bars in the area which cater to gay travellers and make this an ideal place to stay.
4. Hot Tub Safari, North Wales
This Welsh retreat offers something rather different from the other gay-friendly sites listed here. While the site can offer a stunning location with close proximity to all of the expected amenities, the reason that people travel here is to experience 'glamping' (that's glamorous camping) at its finest. Leave the roll mats at home and enjoy soft double beds, deep baths and, of course, a Jacuzzi.
5. Blackberry Wood, Sussex
This kooky campsite boats unique accommodation with open fires permitted and outdoor cooking allowed. The proximity to the nightlife of Brighton is also a key attraction – with the gay capital of Britain boasting numerous attractions.
6. Lochgoilhead Kingfisher Caravans, Loch Lomond National Park
Set in a stunning location, this site offers visitors the chance to visit the lochs of Scotland in style. As well as numerous walks, the area boasts some of the country's finest golf courses – perfect for those after a relaxing holiday.
7. Tyn-y-Fron Tipi and Campsite, North Wales
This site is ideal for coupled as it is incredibly private; with just one tipi and one camping pitch available. While you're not likely to meet many other campers, the opportunity to camp in a site this private is rare and gays are more than welcome.
8. Llawnroc Holidays, Newquay
Not quite as quirky as the glamping on offer at Hot Tub Safari, Llawnroc is still a far cry from the stripped down basic camping of the boy scouts. Static caravans are available and the facilities on-site are a pleasant surprise. Nearby Newquay has a lot to offer in terms of gay-friendly nightlife as well as some spectacular beaches where campers can try out the surf.
