1. Scenic walks

There’s nothing quite like a walk through a forest or a quiet country lane as the leaves drop off the trees and turn into that incredible shade of orange. The UK’s rural areas really do come into a world of their own at this time of year, with a perfect selection of UK Club campsites in reaching distance.

Our top pick: Witherslack and Whitbarrow Scar loop, Lake District

2. Enjoy fireworks

Whether you’re marking Bonfire Night itself or heading to one of the many displays around the 5th November up and down the UK, tie the light and colour in with a stay at a UK Club campsite. It’s one of the highlights of the year and a perfect excuse to get friends and family together.

Our top pick: Poole Quay fireworks in Dorset

3. Go stargazing

As the nights grow longer, stargazing opportunities increase. Head for a quiet area on a clear evening and marvel at the Milky Way, or head north and check out the incredible Northern Lights, an experience that lives long in the memory of all those that are lucky enough to have seen them.
