Overview
At the meeting point of the River Mersey and the Irish Sea, Liverpool city campers can balance urban Merseyside experiences with local wilderness exploration. Travel inland to Peak District National Park, where a network of trails leads hikers into adrenaline-filled cave adventures. A scenic drive to Wales offers Clwydian Range and Dee Valley, a coastal AONB with historic medieval ruins, sea views, and verdant landscapes. A variety of local wildlife in the nearby Forest of Bowland also gives campers a rare chance to spot protected species on the edge of the Lake District. For a unique stay in the United Kingdom, camping options near Liverpool include tent campsites, motorhome and caravan spots, glamping cottages, and yurts.
Where to go
Peak District National Park
Stop by a bike hire centre, book a guided tour with a park ranger, or enjoy self-guided walks through the hills on a visit to Peak District National Park. Hike to the summits for expansive views of the landscape, or discover the depths of the park in Titan Cave, the UK’s tallest and largest cavern. Camping inside the park is permitted at designated campsites and caravan sites, while wild camping is allowed only with landowner permission.
Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Discover the rugged beauty of North Wales with a visit to Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB, where trails wind through the hills and heather. Head out on a hike for views over the valley and Irish Sea, then explore limestone cliffs and the ruins of Castell Dinas Bran, alongside other medieval remains that showcase the area’s history. A range of Clwydian Range camping and lodging options can be found near the AONB, including tent pitches with fire pits, BBQ grills, toilets, and potable water; caravan parks with partial or full hookups; glamping pods with showers; and cosy cabins.
Wirral Country Park
Stroll the coastline of Wirral Peninsula and admire Dee Estuary with a visit to Wirral Country Park. Built on a refurbished railway line, the park’s 12-miles of track make a beautiful walking and cycling path. The cosy wilderness is home to badgers and foxes, and summer visitors may catch a glimpse of 10 wild butterfly species. Tent campsites and caravan parks nearby provide quick access to the park, which is free and open year-round.
When to go
Liverpool’s temperate climate makes it a comfortable camping destination year-round. Warm summers often average between 17–20°C in the daytime, while winter temperatures average 6–8°C, with occasional snowfall. Sunny days between May to September are popular as well, though campers should always prepare to experience four seasons in one day. Come ready with rain gear and a few layers to make the most of Liverpool’s maritime beauty.
