Why Camping is the Most Underrated UK Holiday

In a complex world of technology and office working life, the freeing feeling of 'getting back to nature' is our remedy. Waking up to the sound of the birds, feeling the sun on your face, and leaving the world behind for a short time, to reconnect with loved ones. Camping is the most underrated holiday in today's busy world.

Take a look at our top 5 reasons why camping is the holiday experience of 2025..

1) Reconnect with Nature, Your Loved Ones, and Yourself

In a world of constant notifications and screen time, camping offers the ultimate reset button. Imagine trading your office chair for a sundeck overlooking rolling Cornish hills, where your only agenda is breathing the fresh air, exploring hidden treasures, and hearing your own thoughts. Wake up to the sound of birdsong, cook outside in nature, and fall asleep under the stars. At Heligan, you can pitch up with a sea view, wander through woodlands, and discover the perfect sanctuary to rediscover yourself and reconnect with the natural world.

2) Let Your Little Ones Roam Free

The beauty of a campsite is that children will have so much to keep them entertained. Let them play together with other children and make new friends. Take them on a countryside walk, and experience the kind of freedom they rarely find at home. Our park offers sweeping views, safe spaces for exploration, and the chance for families to truly spend quality time together, away from digital distractions.

3) Adventures for Your Four-Legged Friends

Dog lovers, this one's for you! Camping is a paradise for our furry companions. Miles of rolling hills, woodland to explore, and beaches to run wild and free! Imagine watching your pup's pure joy as they explore new scents and make furry friends. At Heligan, we've thought of everything for your canine adventurers. Miles of walking paths, a dedicated dog-washing area, and plenty of open spaces mean your dogs can enjoy the holiday as much as you do!

4) Comfort Meets Adventure

Gone are the days of roughing it in the wild, unless that's your sort of thing! Modern camping offers luxuries you might not expect. Our award-winning amenity block features underfloor heating, private bathrooms, and state-of-the-art facilities. With electrical hookups, on-pitch EV charging (and holiday homes that feel like a home away from home!) you can enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort.

5) Sustainable Travel That Makes a Difference

Travel responsibly and reconnect with the environment - that's what we're all about. At Heligan, we're committed to sustainable tourism, from supporting local suppliers, to our range of EV charging points and our wildlife conservation across the site. You can holiday guilt-free, knowing your holiday is part of a balanced ecosystem.
