I can’t quite believe it. We’re a site without any bells and whistles, so it is a bit of a surprise.\n\n\"I think what makes our place special is that we greet everyone personally. We’re close to York, in a little town famous for its gardens and lakes, and there’s also a local pub within walking distance along a canal, making it the perfect location.\n\n“We don’t pack people in and allow them to pitch where they want. Quality of sleep is also valued with quiet hours after 10pm, which I think parents especially appreciate. I’d like to thank my wife, Cherie, for all her support – this site is our pride and joy. And a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to give us such wonderful reviews.”\n\nClose behind in second place is Owl Valley Glamping in Devon, which also secured a flawless 10/10 rating. Set within a private nature reserve near the coast, it offers a more luxurious outdoor experience, with features such as wood-fired hot tubs and fully equipped accommodation.\n\n\n### STAYCATIONS\n\n\n\n\n * Britons swap long-haul travel for the UK's stunning landscapes as cost becomes a top priority\n * The UK's most visited seaside resort named the best staycation spot for 2026 - full list\n * The holiday spots with the prettiest sunsets named - from coastal viewpoints to city skylines\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Camping & Glamping Golds 2025**\n\n * The Spinney Wild Camping – North East England\n * Owl Valley Glamping – South West England\n * The Wee Caravan Park – Scotland\n * Cosmos Camping – West Wales\n * Little Nash Woods Camping – South East England\n * Wimbleball Holidays – South West England\n * Little Thornham Holidays – South West England\n * South Ford Farm Camping – South West England\n * Tydd Gote Caravan Site – East Anglia\n\n\n\nRounding out the top three is The Wee Caravan Park in Scotland, meaning there is plenty of choice for Britons booking their next overnight stay.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe South West was the strongest-performing region overall, home to the highest number of Gold-rated sites in this year’s awards.\n\nTo qualify for the awards, campsites and glamping locations needed to achieve an average rating of at least 8/10 from a minimum of 20 verified reviews in 2025 — with only those scoring a perfect 10 making the final list.\n\nWhile high-end glamping continues to perform strongly, many of the top-rated sites focus on space, tranquillity and a more personal, stripped-back experience — proving that when it comes to UK getaways, less can often mean more.\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
