Ten of the best: family-friendly campsites in the UK

Kids and camping are made for each other. The happiest of family holidays are often the simplest (and the cheapest!): sitting round a camp fire, star gazing and dining al fresco... but you need to make sure you pick the right spot. That's why AOL Travel asked Jonathan Knight, founder of Cool Camping Guides and author of the new fully updated Cool Camping Kids, to choose some of his favourite spots for blissful breaks under canvas with kids. Check them out below - and remember to tell us your favourite family campsite below!

Cool Camping Kids 2nd edition is available from www.coolcamping.co.uk priced at £16.95 or from all major bookstores.
