The Best UK Campsites With Ensuite Facilities For 2025

As camping season approaches, many of us are itching to get away camping. But if you don’t like to use public facilities on campsites, you’ll need to look at campsites with ensuite facilities (or to use your own sanitary equipment).

If you just go camping once a year and don’t already have the necessary equipment, buying what you need to be ‘self-sufficient’ may end up costing more than the camping pitch itself.

We don’t have toilet and shower facilities in our VW Campervan so the idea of being able to book campsites with ensuite facilities is very appealing.

If you feel more comfortable with booking campsites with showers and toilets for your own use, we’ve got you covered.

There is a good mix of campsites with ensuite facilities including back to basics, natural campsites as well as holiday parks in popular UK staycation destinations and campsites on the beach.

Looking for some UK beach inspiration? Check out these amazing UK beaches!

We have not been and tested these campsites with en suite pitches. This is just a round-up of UK campsites with ensuite facilities to help you with your search.

New to camping? Make sure you check out our top camping tips for beginners or our tips for family camping! We promise they will make your life easier.

First time camping or campervanning? We have a number of helpful blog posts including tips for camping with toddlers, reasons to campervan with kids, tips for campervanning with kids and a campervan essentials guide. See also our guide to drive away awnings and our Olpro Cocoon Breeze Review.

If you can’t find any suitable campsites, or aren’t sure about camping, we also have suggestions for cheaper alternatives to Center Parcs.

Want to know our best camping/outdoor purchases?

We love our Quechua 4 person blackout air tent. It is so easy to put up and the quality (and price) is fantastic. We saw them last summer at almost every campsite in France and had to get one for ourselves. See our review of the Quechua Air Seconds 4.2 family tent here.

As you can never fully rely on the British weather, we recommend packing some lightweight rain coats just in case.

Our lightweight TOG24 packable waterproof jackets come in handy during the summer. We each have one. See here for the men’s, women’s and kid’s jackets on Amazon. Or sometimes you can find great deals on the TOG24 website.

We cannot recommend them enough (you can read our TOG24 review here).
