Exploring the Water: Finding the Perfect Campsite for Kayaking and Paddleboarding

Stand up Paddleboards have become increasingly popular over the last few years, especially since the pandemic when I think people looked for new hobbies and outdoor activities in their local area. However, they have continued to be the ‘must have outdoor adventure’ item for many families across the UK. Generally they are easy to transport and store when camping too, so the desire to find campsites with water, or lake access has increased. Worry not, below I have collated a list of campsites with access to the water. Some of these I have visited personally, but others have been recommended by members of the #vanfamtribe community.
