Be kind. Share knowledge. Support each other. This is a safe space for all campers — celebrate small wins, ask anything, and lift others up. Personal attacks, spam, and gatekeeping are not welcome.
Community
Conversations, trip support, positivity and recommendations — from campers, for campers.
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.
Whether it's a £8 head torch that's lasted 5 years or a £90 tent peg set that saved your weekend in 50mph winds, drop your favourite under-£100 kit below. 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.
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.
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.
