Top Camping Locations



Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants leave urban areas and enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, cabin, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all. In many parts of the world camping refers exclusively to the use of tents or similar portable structures. Camping as a recreational activity became popular in the early 20th century. Camping is a key part of the program of many youth organizations around the world, such as Scouting. It is used to teach self-reliance and team work. Campers mostly prefer the national parks, open areas in midst of nature, a hill top, mountain sides and other publicly owned natural areas. Locations are most important in a camping. Here is a list of top ten camping locations around the world.

1. THREE CLIFFS BAY, GOWER
Three Cliffs Bay is a bay on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula in the City and County of Swansea, Wales. The bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill, a small stream, flows into the sea in the middle of the bay. The sea cliffs are limestone, about 20 m high, and are a popular destination for rock climbers with 20 climbs in the lower grades. The largest of the Three Cliffs is easily climbed if approached from the grassy base. The major attraction of this site is its spectacular position, which offers panoramic views of the Gower coastline.

2. TURNER HALL FARM, CUMBRIA
Turner Hall Farm is located in the Lake District’s lesser-visited Duddon Valley. It is actually not that far from civilisation, but it feels like the Middle of Nowhere, given the journey there. The most spectacular way to arrive at Turner Hall Farm is to drive over the Wrynose Pass, a tortuous zigzag of a road, often single-track, frequently hair pinned and always threatening to throw your car down the steep sides of the hill with one wrong move. It’s an exhilarating drive that matches some of the best Lake District walks, view for view.

3. BRIGHOUSE BAY, DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY:
Brighouse Bay is one of Scotland’s top environmental Parks, Brighouse Bay is set in a quiet and secluded peninsula, with magnificent views over the Irish Sea and surrounded by 1,200 acres of great walking country, and Brighouse Bay is set in a quiet, secluded peninsula, with magnificent views over the Irish Sea. The award-winning holiday park offers a swimming pool, toddlers’ pool, games room, ten-pin bowling, and playground, toddlers’ corner, bar, bistro, family room and function suite.

4. LE VAL DE CANTOBRE , AVEYRON, FRANCE
The Le Val De Cantobre is a nature park surrounded by the river La Dourbie. The Grands Causses Regional Park encompasses some of France’s most spectacular landscapes, including the Gorges du Tarn. This park campsite, in the grounds of a medieval farmhouse, has pitches arranged on terraces looking down the valley, and there is a full activity programme available.

5. FOUR SEASONS TENTED CAMP, GOLDEN TRIANGLE, THAILAND
This is a beautiful location situated in Thailand. This is an exotic bamboo jungle, where three countries meet. You can enjoy hours interacting with elephants; training and trekking. This is an once-in-a-lifetime experience for active adults and teens. It has got 15 tented accommodations all different and unique in luxury, completed with hand-hammered copper bathtubs – echo the romantic spirit of 19th-century explorers. All-inclusive Four Seasons adventures cover every detail, from drinks and dining to river boat excursions to meet local hill tribes.

6. CASTEL CAMPING LE TY NADAN, BRITTANY
The campsite is in a superb setting amongst wooded countryside on a 60-acre, riverside estate in France. In the valley of the “Devils Rocks”, the TY NADAN campsite offers you a large range of sports and leisure activities. On the site, you can do horse riding, quad biking, canoeing, or try out the Adventure Park, archery or paintball tournaments. The activities are for all ages. If you are not tired yet, you can always have a swim in the indoor pool or play ping-pong or badminton in the multi-sports hall.

7. LONGITUDE 131, CENTRAL AUSTRALIA:
Longitude 131 is located in the geographical centre of Australia and is spiritual heart of its Aborigines. It has taken a leaf out of Africa’s upscale safari camps and created a top-notch tented retreat with all the luxuries of a 5-star resort in a desert wilderness setting. Each tent is like a hotel room with a central king-size bed with crisp cotton sheets, a contemporary en suite bathroom, lots of wardrobe space, and floor-to-ceiling windows with an electric blind that opens at the flick of a switch to reveal the surrounding desert and Ayers Rock. Longitude 131 is simply, magical.

8. SYKE FARM, CUMBRIA
The Syke Farm is located in the Buttermere Village, Cumbria. It is open all round the year and is a beautiful place to be in. Its location is its usp, much more than a bumpy field, but the setting is to die for. Expect awesome, fascinating views of Red Pike, High Stile and Haystacks.

9. AYR HOLIDAY PARK, CORNWALL
Ayr Holiday Park is the only Holiday Park in St Ives which is less than half a mile from the beaches, town centre and harbour. All the attractions of this leading Cornish resort are within walking distance of Ayr Holiday Park and busses regularly pass from the town centre. Ayr Holiday Park along with camping, offers touring caravan holidays, supported by some of the best park facilities to be found in Cornwall. Ayr is graded Four Star “excellent” quality grading by the Tourist Board.

10. BURROWHAYES FARM, SOMERSET
Situated beside the Horner water in the glorious Horner Valley and with a view of Dunkery Beacon, Burrowhayes Farm is in the heart of the Exmoor National Park and provides a central position for touring the whole of Exmoor with its wooded valleys, streams, hills and magnificent coastal scenery.

Top 10 Holiday Destination in Brazil



Brazil is a South American country with a large reserve for natural resources. Brazil is the 3rd fastest growing economy after China and India and has come up a lot in terms of growth. Brazil is a beautiful country which is home to many species of animals and birds. On the other hand Brazil is a beautiful country with amazing landscapes. Brazil is a popular tourist destination and is indeed a place worth visiting. Brazil’s natural beauty and the rich heritage make it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Here is a list of the top ten tourist destinations in Brazil and places you must not miss.

1. Fernando de Noronha (Pernambuco)
The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha is Brazil’s closest spot to Paradise. 300 km away from the north east coast of the country, Noronha concentrates places of unrivalled beauty. On top of that, Noronha is a rare place where preserving the environment is the foremost concern for its inhabitants. The archipelago is formed is formed by the main island, inhabited, and a series of smaller islands. Part of the archipelago forms the Maritime National Park of Fernando de Noronha. UNESCO declared Noronha a World Natural Heritage Site in 2001.

2. Paraty (Rio de Janeiro)
Paraty is a very special place of Brazil. Situated between the Atlantic rainforest and the sea, Paraty is one Brazil’s worst kept secrets. Places and things you would love about the Paraty is the historic village and the state of conservation of the historical heritage; the absence of cars in the historic village; the gorgeous beaches; being able to walk on the streets at night; the relaxed atmosphere; the boat trips; the ginger ice cream from Ice Paraty ice-cream parlour; the high tide that floods the streets; dining by candlelight with live music

3. Lencois Maranhenses (Maranhao)
The Lencois Maranhenses are one of the most wonderful places in Brazil. The beauty of the region, and the fact that mass tourism hasn’t reached it yet, explain why the Lencois cause such a profound impact on its visitors. The Lencois (in Portuguese, sheets), are a large desert in the state of Maranhao. These are the world’s most amazing desert and are indeed different. Between June and September the dunes share the space with lagoons formed by the accumulation of water fallen during the rainy season.

4. Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro)
Ilha Grande is a popular tourist destination on the southern coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Ilha Grande is the ideal destination for those seeking a close contact with nature. Ilha Grande is a mountainous tropical island where no cars are allowed; an island covered by a dense tropical rainforest (mata atlantica) for most of its extension; hiking paths crossing the island from north to south and east to west; idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters. Ilha Grande is definitely not for those keen on sophistication, shopping and a thriving night life.

5. Boipeba (Bahia)
Ilha de Boipeba (Boipeba island), or simply Boipeba, is one of those beach destinations that still maintains an air of isolation and remoteness. A quiet village where no cars can be found and an island full of fabulous beaches await you at Boipeba, a few hundred meters south of the island of Tinhare, where the popular Morro de Sao Paulo is found.

6. Iguazu falls (Parana and Argentina)
The Iguazu falls are an unavoidable stop in the itinerary of most visitors to both Brazil and Argentina. In spite of its popularity and overcrowding during certain times of the year, the beauty of the falls is so captivating that you don’t need to make a big effort to forget the crowds and enjoy the place. Some of the most amazing points in Iguazu falls are the Devil’s Throat, on the Argentinian side of the falls; the walkways on both sides of the falls; the Buddhist temple in Foz do Iguaçu; the Parque das Aves right next to the entrance to the Brazilian National Park.

7. Bonito (Mato Grosso do Sul)
Bonito is a very popular ecotourism destination not very well known outside Brazil. The main reason for its relatively unknown status outside Brazil might be due to its remote location. Bonito is a village in the southernmost part of the Pantanal, 300 km away from the nearest major airport (Campo Grande). Things you would love about this beautiful place are the crystalline waters of the rivers around Bonito, snorkelling surrounded by fish, the apparent concern for the environment.

8. Morro de Sao Paulo (Bahia)
Morro de São Paulo is a small village on the island of Tinharé, 60 km south from Salvador, in the state of Bahia. You would really like to spend the day at the 4th Beach during the low tide, to have dinner at the main street on the Vila and see the sunset from the Morro or the Fort and then watch the dolphins feed at the bay. Morro is divided into beaches and everyone refers to them by their name. You can see their location at the Google map as well.

9. Arraial d’Ajuda (Bahia)
Arraial d’Ajuda is the charming neighbour of that magnet for mass tourism that is Porto Seguro. The river separating Arraial from Porto Seguro keeps away from the former the worst excesses of the later. Places you would like the most in Arraial d’ Ajuda the beaches, to walk long the rua do Mucugê at the end of the day; the open-air restaurants; having some delicious caipirinhas with our friends at the bar Girassol.

10. Jericoacoara (Ceará)
Jericoacoara is a destination with a mythical status among tourists. Its success lies on the difficult access and the achievements of its habitants in defending the village from the attacks of unsustainable tourism. The trip run by some reckless delinquents to catch seahorses (a protected species); the bar at the Lagoa da Torta where minute lobsters are sold; a travel agency (with the name of an Australian animal) that runs awful trips in Jericoacora.
