If you want the best sea views and beach benefits as close as possible, here are the coastal campsites you should be picking from for your summer holiday

It's hard not to have fun when you're so close to the beach on holiday, and coastal campsites are the best holiday option for anyone looking to enjoy golden sands and blue skies. Pick any of these five campsites by the sea and, within a matter of minutes, you can be building sandcastles or sunbathing to your heart's content, before sauntering back to base for food, refreshments or rest.

1) Porth Beach Holiday Park, Cornwall

Sat snug in a sheltered bay, Newquay's nugget of holiday bliss couldn't be better situated for anyone seeking sun, sea, sand and serenity on the south coast. Want a coastal campsite? How does 100m away from the beach sound? It's ideal for couples' or family holidays by the sea, and ideal to explore Cornwall from this base of beauty.

2) Kelling Heath, Norfolk

You'll spot the serenity of the sea from your pitch, surrounded by this county's heather heathland. Kelling is a dark skies site, too, so you can look up at the stars at night, spending the daytime hours getting an even better vantage point for views from nearby Sheringham Park's gazebo. Count the steps to the top!

3) Hooks House Farm, Yorkshire

You'll find this self proclaimed “caring campsite” run by friendly owners just half a mile from Robin Hood's Bay. The location is sure not to disappoint, looking out to the North Sea in a world of fishing villages and national parkland. Very accommodating, clean, and close to everything you need for an incredible getaway in God's Own Country.

4) Mill House Caravan Park, Pembrokeshire

Situated in Pleasant Valley, it may not be directly on the seafront but its location does exactly what it says on the tin. The plush woodland is stunning, and the wet stuff is a five-minute drive away at Wiseman's Bridge, with Tenby's beaches, boat trips and beauty just around the corner.

Go wild in Scotland

If you really want to get as close to the sea as possible, make the most of Scotland's Land Reform Act, meaning you can pitch up almost anywhere. The rule you need to remember is to leave no trace, and do your research beforehand as there are a few areas such as East Loch Lomond that bypass these laws due to overcrowding.
