Welcome to the Campfire — share a small win from your last trip

This is our pinned positivity thread. Drop one thing — no matter how small — that made your last trip brilliant: a sunrise, a kind pitch neighbour, a perfect mug of tea by the fire. Be kind, be useful, lift others up. No question is silly. We're all learning the trail together.

Bonus points for: what made you buy it, how long you've had it, and would you buy it again? No affiliate links please — we're keeping it honest.

Outdoor clothing & layers — what actually keeps you warm in October?

British camping = unpredictable weather. Share the jacket, base layer, fleece, waterproof, or boot that's seen you through a soggy Lake District or a wind-blasted Pembrokeshire night. Especially keen to hear from: families with little ones, dog walkers, and anyone who camps year-round. Let's build a kit list that actually works.

RecommendationsFellow Camper
Your favourite UK campsite — and why

One site. One reason. Could be the view, the owners, the showers (yes, really), the quiet, the firepit policy, or a memory you can't shake. We'll round up the ten most-mentioned sites at the end of each month and feature them on the Campfire Wall 🏕️ Drop yours below.

Show us your pitch — share a photo from your last trip

A sunrise. A bacon butty. The dog asleep on the picnic blanket. Whatever made the moment, share a photo and one sentence. These get re-featured on our Instagram and our Trip Wall every Friday (with credit). The kindest, most useful camping photos in the country, all in one place.
