Some campsites allow open campfires. It's personal preferences as to whether it's a camping must or an unnecessary extra or worry.

With the warmer weather now here, camping is definitely worth considering when planning a family holiday. And according to some recent stats, camping is the top holiday of choice for British families.

Whether you’re a beginner or an old camping pro just in need of some child-friendly tips, check out our first-hand mum advice on camping with children. If you’re a camping novice, and only have time to read one thing, make sure it’s our seasoned camper’s tips for first-time family campers.

We’ve also sussed out 10 of the best family-friendly campsites. Covering sites from Cornwall to Cumbria, Scotland and the Welsh Borders, it’s a must-read. If you’ve found a top campsite for children, you can post your suggestions for other MFM families, too.
