Real Campers Meet Real Campsites! Leith Hill - nr Etherley Farm
At Campingninja HQ we are very excited to announce our brand new campaign for 2012 that connects Real Campers with Real Campsites! We are passionate about camping and the outdoors and we know that our Campingninja fans are too, so we want to make your camping experiences even better!
Real Campsites offer fantastic green spaces to camp, in picturesque and interesting locations. You maybe an outdoor enthusiast, a family or a couple looking for a great place to relax,  but the things that stay the same are...you love the rituals of camping and the chance to enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as; hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, surfing, swimming or simply getting out into the countryside.

With this in mind we are looking for more Real Campsites across the UK that can offer these things and we want you to get involved too! If you know of a great Real Campsite that is not already on Campingninja, then we would love to hear about it.  Whether your favourite site is tucked away in a secluded valley, clinging to the side of a mountain, nestled in woodlands or over-looking a stunning coastline, get in touch by either commenting on this blog, or on our facebook page!

P.S. Don't forget to start planning your 2012 camping trips now, bank holidays are always super busy

Here are one or two of my extra thoughts. Real camping is about freedom and being on the move, even if you stay at a base for a while. It's about being self-sufficient like a snail and having all you need with you. On other types of holiday, your accommodation is a base for sightseeing or activities, whereas when you go camping that is the over-riding experience of the holiday; campers always go home with lots of stories to tell. When you are camping you experience the sounds, smells and sensations of the world around you, not just a view from a window.

We couldn't have summed up a real camping better ourselves!

Home Farm Campsite in Horton in Ribblesdale North Yorkshire, cheap and cheerful toilets and shower blocks are kept clean, couple of nice pubs in the village which is right on your doorstep that sell really good food and this campsite is a fantastic base for those who want to have a go at the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge.

Real camping is in tents. You can develop a close relationship with your tent as you come through wild winds, downpours and heatwaves together. Real camping is basically living outside with a bit of extra protection; close encounters with nature and wonderful moments like watching the sun rise from your tent doorway, snuggled in your sleeping bag and waiting for the kettle to boil on your stove.
There is real caravanning too..but that has its own special attractions.
