Easter camping

Easter is the great shakedown weekend of the camping year: the first proper trip after winter, lambs in every field, blossom starting along the hedgerows and evenings just about long enough for a fire before bedtime. Nights are genuinely cold, so pack like it is winter and celebrate when it is not.

Lambing is the headline act locally. Cotswold Farm Park's season is in full swing around Easter, and the all-year sites below have heated facilities for the chilly starts. Book early: Easter is the first weekend everyone else has circled too.

Is it warm enough to camp at Easter in the UK?

Days are often lovely but nights regularly drop to low single figures, even freezing. Pack winter-rated sleeping bags, insulate well from the ground, add layers rather than loose bedding for little ones, and choose a site with heated facilities. The all-year parks in this guide are the safest first choice for an Easter trip.
