The site – described as a “hidden gem” – achieved a perfect 10/10 rating from Pitchup.com, with guests praising its peaceful setting and no-frills approach to outdoor stays. The results reflect a wider trend among British holidaymakers, who are increasingly opting for quiet, back-to-nature breaks over more traditional, facility-heavy holiday parks. Despite its relatively low profile compared to major tourist destinations, East Yorkshire has one of the top recommendations.The Spinney Wild Camping has the most positive reviews | PITCHUP.COMOwner Neil Marwood said: “I’m ecstatic to have won this award – thrilled to bits. I can’t quite believe it. We’re a site without any bells and whistles, so it is a bit of a surprise. “I think what makes our place special is that we greet everyone personally. We’re close to York, in a little town famous for its gardens and lakes, and there’s also a local pub within walking distance along a canal, making it the perfect location.“We don’t pack people in and allow them to pitch where they want. Quality of sleep is also valued with quiet hours after 10pm, which I think parents especially appreciate. I’d like to thank my wife, Cherie, for all her support – this site is our pride and joy. And a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to give us such wonderful reviews.”Close behind in second place is Owl Valley Glamping in Devon, which also secured a flawless 10/10 rating. Set within a private nature reserve near the coast, it offers a more luxurious outdoor experience, with features such as wood-fired hot tubs and fully equipped accommodation.Camping & Glamping Golds 2025The Spinney Wild Camping – North East EnglandOwl Valley Glamping – South West EnglandThe Wee Caravan Park – ScotlandCosmos Camping – West WalesLittle Nash Woods Camping – South East EnglandWimbleball Holidays – South West EnglandLittle Thornham Holidays – South West EnglandSouth Ford Farm Camping – South West EnglandTydd Gote Caravan Site – East AngliaRounding out the top three is The Wee Caravan Park in Scotland, meaning there is plenty of choice for Britons booking their next overnight stay.
