Beeches Farm Campsite
Just outside Chepstow. Very relaxed, lots of space and an awesome view over the Wye Valley. Great hopping off point for a number of castles and other sites of antiquity as well as access to the forest and river. Steel wheel Firepits provided and sacks of wood on sale at reception. Only down side is the price of a shower (£1 for 4 minutes!), also, the wife was not overly keen on the large number of house guests we acquired in a long weekend

Durdle Door Holiday Park, Dorset
http://www.lulworth.com/holiday/campingandtouring.htm
Tidy, well-run site. Short walk to the pretty Durdle Door. Close to the equally pretty Lulworth Cove and West Lulworth (check out the Castle Inn - lovely old pub with beautiful beer garden).
Peak season prices are steep (IMO), but we went in the latter half of Sept. for £15 a night.

Ennerdale Scout Campsite is very good, too. Not just open to Scout Groups!
Vast camping area, wooded area for Bushcraft ventures and Hammocks too. Also the lovely Ennerdale "Lake" with Geocaches, Fells and Ghylls in a 10 minute walk - Fantastic!

Hi all me and my girlfriend met up with some mates over the last week at a new little known wild site just outside of beamish county durham.
it's set in 30 acres of pine woodland, small controlled fires are welcome, the site has car parking, a portaloo and running water just pull up and pitch!
The open air museum is a short walk away with plenty of mixed woodland to forage in and explore.
Prices are £8 per person per night and dry nets of firewood/charcoal are available on site
the site is open all year and will be hosting lots of bushcraft meet ups and demos through out the coming months

Each May the Hilux club used to get together at the Dornafield Campsite down in Newton Abbott, its a lovely campsite, nice and quiet at night and very clean amenities.

Frome - South West
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=13807
Vallis Veg - Only 6 pitches, each completetly separate from each other. From my pitch i couldnt see another tent, the nearest pitch to mine was 70m away in a different field. No parking next to your pitch, you have to use their wheelbarrow and carry your stuff to your pitch but worth it for the views, lack of road noise and isolation. Fires allowed, compost loo, water point and sink but no showers and £7pp/pn.

Just got back from http://www.dolbryn.co.uk/ campsite near Newcastle Emlyn. Very peaceful site, nice people, lovely spot, plenty of trouble for the kids to get into and a bit of coarse fishing all for a decent price.
This. If your within range of shropshire
http://hamperleycampsite.co.uk/
Huge uncrowded field with birch and oak wood at the side and other woods close. Remote basic tap toilet and washroom, no fires on the grass, but I'm sure if you where responsible ie dug a good place they'd let you. All at the base of the long mynd

I'm a newbie but I can add a couple to this thread
Takoda camping Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria http://takodacamping.webs.com/
Run by Paul and Marie who are very friendly. They host a lot of adventure bike meets and Paul puts on a communal fire near the amenity block for arranged groups. Folks who get too cold can take their sleeping bags into the amenity block. There is a stream on the west side next to a sheep farm. Some fantastic views. 10 minute walk into Kirkby Stephen for pubs and food and the landlord of one lets you order your takeaway and eat it in his pub
Jeugstadion in Ypres, Belgium http://www.jeugdstadion.be/E/index.php
Stayed here when visiting WW1 sites around Ypres. 5 mins from the Menin Gate and the town. Very peaceful campsite with an Aldi just up the road. Really looking forward to going back there.

Two suggestions that i camped at last year up in Scotland.
Fidden Farm on the Isle of Mull
Simply stunning location right on the coast.
http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=7227
And probably a fairly well known campsite in Glencoe
Red Squirrel campsite.
Very bushcraft/fire freindly.

I just wish they were closer to home

The Lone Wolf campsite in Wales
http://glynymulfarm.co.uk/
We just spent a week there and we loved it. The woodland camping area is in a river valley looks very nice. Fire making is allowed, tarps are ok too. On the farm (5-15 min walk from the woods) you have shower, toilets, kitchen with fridge, kettle and micro and electricity.
The farm is in between Swansea (15 min drive) and the Brecon Beacons (35 min to Pen Y Fan).
Ian the site supervisor friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable. All in all we had a good time there and I recommended to anybody.

thanks Dave, the weather was a bit against us but i didn't let it ruin our camping trip. i actually enjoyed it a little bit, just staying in the tent cosy with the family. it was a good trip.
