Accessible Caravans, Camping and Glamping

A camping and caravanning holiday is a British tradition and is a great option for anyone travelling on a budget. While you might not think these sites are very accessible, you’d be surprised at the number of disabled friendly camping and caravanning sites that can be found around the UK.

With sites offering level pitches that can be accessed via wheelchairs, Changing Places facilities, wet rooms and other amenities, it’s never been easier to enjoy a camping holiday.
 

Your pick of sites

For generations, holiday makers have been making memories with camping holidays, cooking their breakfasts on an open fire, enjoying their first cup of tea of the day while the sun rises and of course, arguing about who gets to head to the shower block first. Today these sites offer both accessible camping and caravanning options, with pitches for both, should you want to bring your own tents or caravans, or a range of static caravans and lodges.

Whatever option you want to go for, these sites are a great way of keeping costs down while still being able to enjoy some of Britain’s best bits and have a whole range of facilities at their finger tips.

You’ll find these kinds of sites everywhere in the UK, some inland, some in the depths of the countryside and some in coastal areas overlooking a host of stunning bays. Those located in the countryside are often in partnership with organisations like Countryside Mobility, so you can be sure of having the right equipment to explore the area and plenty of advice for the best places to go. The coastal sites will also be able to point you in the right direction for accessible beaches and those that have beach friendly wheelchairs available for use.

First choice for families

Disability friendly camping holidays are often a first choice for families, especially those travelling on a budget or anyone who needs to bring a dog or therapy animal with them. The majority of camp sites are dog friendly and the smaller ones are perfect for anyone who wants to stay away from hustle and bustle and is looking for somewhere quiet and tranquil.

Glamourous Camping

Camping isn't for everyone, so if you're someone who likes their home comforts, make sure to take a look at our accessible glamping options. 

Glamping – if you didn’t know – is glamourous camping, basically, you get all the charm of camping with all the comforts of home! It’s a great compromise if one of you wants to brave the elements and the other wants running water and electricity, as such, glamping sites offer a range of accommodation options from safari tents to yurts to shepherd’s huts and just about everything else in between and because there is so much choice, you’ll find lots of accessible options.
