AA Holiday Centre of the Year
Warren Farm Holiday Centre
A large family-run holiday park just a short walk from the beach and divided up into several fields, each with its own designated facilities. Pitches are spacious and level, offering grass, hardstanding and luxury en suite options; there are good panoramic views of the Mendip Hills and Brean Down. The park also has a bar, restaurant and entertainment venue. The indoor play barn makes it perfect for families and lake fishing is also available on site.
AA Glamping Site of the Year
The Secret Garden Glamping
The Secret Garden is set in four acres, with idyllic views of private woodland. Lovingly created, the units can all comfortably accommodate a family of four, and show really creative attention to detail. Don't be surprised if you're visited by wild deer in the morning. Units are well spaced and each includes a screened hot tub for total privacy, plus log burners, fire pits and barbecues.
AA Small Campsite of the Year
Deepdale Camping & Rooms
Part of the larger Deepdale Estate, this park is a must for lovers of peace and tranquillity. The touring areas, spread over six distinctive fields, offer generous pitch sizes, including hammock pitches, and most are equipped with electric hook-ups. There are also three separate amenity blocks and the site is located a short stroll from the coastal path.
AA Most Improved Campsite of the Year
Back of Beyond Touring Park
This lovely adults-only park is set in 30 acres of woodland and offers plenty of pleasant walks. The site has a fishing lake and a picnic area, and the whole area is a haven for wildlife. Monty's Bar has an attractive alfresco seating area, where fish and chip, pizza and BBQ nights are held. There's also an excellent shop stocked with local produce. A secluded and separate glamping area offers camping pods, a yurt, two shepherd's huts, and cabins for hire.
AA Campsite of the Year Heart of England
Fields End Water Caravan Park & Fishery
This meticulously planned and well-executed park makes excellent use of its slightly elevated position in The Fens. The fully serviced pitches are on smart terraces with sweeping views of the countryside, and there are shady walks through mature deciduous woodland. Next to the large and appealingly landscaped fishing lake there's also a really good café. A footbridge across the lake links one side with the excellent facilities block.
AA Campsite of the Year South East England
Ninham Country Holidays
Enjoying a beautiful woodland and arable farmland setting with fine country views, this delightful, spacious park has a firm emphasis on sustainable tourism and being ‘nature friendly’. It has an excellent toilet and shower block; a heated outdoor pool, a games room and a very good children's play area. Willow Brook, next to the reception, is a separate summer camping area. This is a great place for families and is close to Shanklin and Sandown.
AA Campsite of the Year South West England
Porthtowan Tourist Park
This neat, level grassy site is on high ground above Porthtowan. It's a peaceful rural park, almost midway between the small seaside resorts of Portreath and Porthtowan, with their beaches and surfing. The site has a well-stocked shop and there is a purpose-built games and meeting room with a good tourist information library. The tearoom next to the campsite serves takeaway meals during peak season.
AA Campsite of the Year North West England
Manor Wood Country Caravan Park
A secluded landscaped park in a tranquil country setting with extensive views towards the Welsh Hills across the Cheshire Plain. Fully serviced pitches, a heated outdoor swimming pool and all-weather tennis courts are on offer. Wildlife is encouraged and there are two fishing lakes; country walks and charming nearby pubs. The stylish, combined reception, shop and café with patio overlooks a lake, and there's also an on-site hairdressing salon.
AA Campsite of the Year North East England
St Helens in the Park
Set on the edge of the North York Moors National Park, this delightfully landscaped park is immaculately maintained and has some stunning floral displays. The site is divided into terraces with tree-screening that creates smaller areas including an adults' zone. There are also 12 well-equipped camping pods for hire. Visitors with dogs will love the licenced dog-friendly café with its attractive alfresco garden and decking.
AA Campsite of the Year Wales
Home Farm Caravan Park
Home Farm is a first-class park run with passion and enthusiasm, set in an elevated and secluded position sheltered by trees. The peaceful rural setting affords views of farmland, the sea and the mountains of Snowdonia. Children have excellent play opportunities both indoors and out, and the area is blessed with sandy beaches.
AA Campsite of the Year Scotland
Sands of Luce Holiday Park
Sands of Luce is a large, well-managed holiday park overlooking Luce Bay. It has a private boat launch and direct access to a wide sandy beach, which proves popular with kite surfers. The Lighthouse is a truly upmarket café, bar and pizzeria and The Barn leisure complex is an excellent facility at the park. There's a wide range of entertainment and activities on offer, including kite flying, kite surfing, foraging and cooking, and entertainers for both adults and children.
AA Campsite of the Year England and Overall
The Quiet Site
This wonderful, sustainable park enjoys breathtaking views across Ullswater, and is only a short drive from some of the best fell walking and attractions in the Lake District. Caravans, motorhomes and tents enjoy well-sized terraced pitches, and fantastic glamping options can be found at the top of the park, including the Glamping Burrows and Gingerbread Houses. This is a site justifiably proud of its green credentials, and very much ahead of the norm; the park is 90% self-sufficient as energy is powered through solar panels, a biomass boiler, a ground source heat pump and PV panels. The 16th-century 'Quiet Bar' is open all year around, while 'The Quiet Bite' offers breakfast crêpes and bacon rolls, as well as an evening pizza takeaway service.
